Ace gun pornographer Oleg Volk has worked his magic on the new Springfield XD-9 Sub-Compact, now available with a $349 Viridian C5L green laser + light thingie. Is it me or does the mag extension and laser/light combo turn a not-entirely-ugly sub-compact handgun into a platypus pistol? Neither this (ultra-concealable nine) nor that (proper nine). Why not carry something smaller or something larger? If not, shouldn’t this gun have a red dot sight on top, just in case?
Springfield ships it with flush-fitting short magazine for
concealed carry. Extended mag is the recommended reload.
Well if we’re going with ‘just in case’ it should have an optional
chainsaw attachment.
Works as a carry gun and HD gun. Protection for in and outside the
home for someone on a budget.
I agree. Flush-fit w/o laser for CCW. Extended mag w/ laser for HD.
That said, Viridian is awful proud of their products, aren’t they?
The whole package looks like it was created by a shoemaker and
photographed by Man Ray. I’m not saying that the stuff hanging off
the nose is bad, just that it looks bad and no amount of
photography can make it look good. BTW, the Man Ray reference is a
compliment to Oleg Volk. I’m a fan of Man.
I am also a fan!

New XD9 Subcompact? Hasn’t the XD9SC been out for years? Have I
crossed into some alternate reality or something?
Yeah, I’ve had one since ’04 IIRC. The extended mag is new since
then as well as the Viridian of course.
I didn’t know guns could get goiter.
Very interesting… I am confused about modern handguns; with all
the gizmo’s and gadgets that lego on to them, how man steps does it
usually require to employ one in an actual defensive situation? The
espresso maker on the dust cover rail often makes me wonder just
where I am supposed to put the quarter in to get the pony ride
moving…
I agree, there are sure a LOT of buttons to push on that pistol.
