Hey guys, I picked up the SW99 today. I just finished taking it apart and cleaning it and comparing it side-by-side to my XD. I will have to say, right off I noticed that the recoil spring looked much cheaper than the XD's though they looked to be almost identical in size, shape, and function. Then I inspected the frame and it looks a bit cheaper than the XD's frame. The XD has a metal front slide rail and polymer rear whereas the SW99 has very small metal inserts on to the polymer that act as reinforcement to the polymer slide rails. The SW99 slide does however impress me. It is very very solid and looks to be incredibly sturdy and simple and possibly heavier than the XD slide (which impressed me when I got it). The barrel looks good, the XD appears to have a little more support, but just a hair. Everything looks good though, and I hope this little thing shoots as good as it looks. I'm going to the range tomorrow, so I will post then and let you know!
