How do FR gun enthusiasts feel about the Springfield XD 9mm 4”?

It's an excellent pistol. Mine never hiccups, never fails, shoots where I aim it and has a decent trigger. Put night sights on it and you just can't go wrong.

That was my plan. Thanks very much for the feedback.

If you have the patience to teach, I have a few more questions:

Do night sights and lasers conflict? Is it wise to have both? How do you feel about attached versus detached flash lights? Is it usual to use a flashlight in a night-intruder scenario, or just turn on the house lights as you go?

I live in a semi-rural area of Southern Oregon. We’re Jewish and an obvious easily identified target for the random Jihadi. My wife’s office in Seattle was shot up by one such wacko, who killed one and wounded several of her co-workers. My local Chabad rabbi knew the Mumbai rabbi. So, we’re sensitized.

Any further thoughts or resources on the topic would be appreciated. Right now I just have some standard hunting arms that are not exactly right for the job, and my level of training and knowledge is low.
