laser sights? What is the best laser sight for Springfield XD 40 Sub Compact (3 "BL)?
Your question what is the best and the best is the red trace. End of story.
Personally, I'm in love with the Crimson Trace LG-446 grips XD. I was carrying an XD-40 with CT grips for several months and I find them to be reliable and comfortable. The CT grips have advantages over other laser sights they do not stick to the bar, so do not add to the size of the weapon, and they are automatically activated just holding the gun when you are ready to fire, thereby eliminating the need to press a switch.
It is better "and then it is" normal "and next" economic "
You can not afford the best - it costs three times more than the xD.
You should find what is available in your local stores - go with that. This way, you have easy access to replacement warranty and service later. That - and you do not want to purchase something online that you can not find replacement batteries for.
One last tip. Use the brand batteries. They have a safety device. The knock out low-priced imports from Asia and can configure your high-tech laser or flashlight on fire.
I agree with Gus on the glacierwolf. How do glacierwolf how much money do you have? Crimson Trace, however, would probably be the way forward. They are easy to install and are activated grip unlike others who set themselves on a rail.
