Ok people, I have all but decided to get a Springfield XD. The last and biggest question is: What caliber? 9-40-or 45. I can only imagine the price of ammo ain't much fun, but it must be done. Thoughts?
seems im going to have to wait till monday to make the buy, hes not going to be open tomorrow, nor can he make a special exception for me. oh well more time to think!

If the price of ammo is a primary consideration..... 9mm.
Its going to be my every day carry handgun. I plan on shooting it quite a bit tomorrow. I had the same feelings toward 40 being the smallest I would go. I am personally swinging to the .45. I asked my dad (Nam Vet) he said "**** get the .45! I haven't shot one in years!" So I think thats where Im going to go. I had people swearing up and down to me that for a carry pistol 9mm was fantastic and In the words of the other people "Best for self defense" I think im going to mosey on down to Cabelas afterwards and pick up a better holster, I hear the one that comes with the XD isn't the greatest.
Thank you all for the input, can't wait for the next cook out, i'll get time off from work for sure. Long as i give them enough notice! haha
why no .357 Sig love? That's what I carry and I wouldn't dream of carrying a different caliber. IMO it's the perfect blend.
Just my .02....I try to buy American made. Just saying.
