springfield xd-40 tactical

[yardman]

I got a friend who has a springfield xd-40 tactical he would sell me for $300 is that a good price for one new?

Given this is my first gun what would i have to do to get it registered to me?

That's unheard of/impossible for a new price, and is a fantastic price for one assuming it isn't somehow trashed. You don't need to "register" it in MD, but you do need to have it transferred to you via either the MDSP or an FFL with the MDSP's blessings after going through a background check. I'll let others elaborate.

Basically YES, BUY IT! Just make sure you go through the legal means, and post pics here once you get it

if you don't want it I'll take it for $300. thats a steaL!

 

[fivepointstar]

yes...as long as your 21 you'll have to have it transferred over to you via FFL or MSP

Painfully from what I've heard. Might I suggest going through one of the Industry Partners here on the forum?

That's a good woman!

Awesome price! Like was said above, just check to make sure everything is as it should be. I am very happy with my XDm, and I doubt the XD would be any different.

Only painful at some barracks. Trooper at Belair barracks was great.

Go to an industry partner (FFL Dealer) with him and transfer the gun to you. The cost it usually $30.00 on average. Going the MSP can be difficult, if you go that route please make sure the the gun is locked and in a locked gun case no ammo in it or in the car, because you will be leaving it in the car until the paperwork is filled out and the trooper will go to you car to see the gun and get the ser# off it. It can be stressful on you...... I am not saying it is like that at all MSP barracks but from experience it can be a bit more than you where expecting.

do it by the book at the MSP and there wont be any issues.

I finally got back in touch with my friend and im supposed to pick up the gun today and do the transfer. i called 2a sales and they charge 50 to do the transfer. is there any other places close to columbia that does it for less?

Might want to contact them via this website.

Some vendors offer discounts for members on here.

Did you tell them it was a secondary transfer, not a transfer from an out of state FFL? I could swear state law limits those to $20.

Find the nearest MSP barracks. $10 there.

I might just go to the msp barracks in jessup its close by

WWB and Federal aren't bad. I would stay far, far away from Remington UMC. Pick your flavor of defense loads, Winchester, Federal and CCI/Speer all make respectable HP loads.

 

[Bikebreath]

Walmart has .40 from Federal, Winchester, (in a white box often referred to as WWB) and UMC. Those are good for the range.

UMC works ok in my XDm. It can be an issue in some guns and I don't suspect it will be with your XD unless the springs have been changed for heavy or hot ammo.

Ok i went and did the transfer today and got it. ill post some pics later
