getting a new toy
« on: February 03, 2009, 10:22:29 PM »
I just got the OK from the wife to get a pistol, so I went and put some money down on a XD in .45acp. It has a stainless slid, a 4" barrel and comes with two mags, a mag holder, a holster, and a loader. :drool:

Those are pretty sweet for the  :twocents: My cousin picked one up mint with the stainless top and all the accessories .40 cal  for $429 @ Welchers about 6 months ago. Now I need to wait for him to get hard up for some cash. :chuckle:

I realy like the balance of the 4" barrle and you can change the grip to fit your hand. I wish I had the money for a kimber ultra raptor that I wanted but I have to many other things to deal with right now.

I wish they made a .45 in sub compact :'(. I realy like small carry pistols but the short 1911's are a little to much $$.

Nice! You're going to like it.  I picked up an OD green and black XD .40 a couple of weeks ago. Shoots nice and feels great in the hand, the only down fall to me is the trigger pull is a little long.

You can send it to springfield's custom shop and they can work the trigger over, I dont know how much that would cost though. For a carry gun all it needs to do is go bang every time and not jam.

Exactly! As long as it goes bang every time is right. Long trigger pull not a huge deal at least to have it worked on but it'll take some getting used to, still love the gun. Good choice!

It's official. I'm the only person in the U.S. who doesn't own an XD.
