| I want to get one, I've NEVER fired a XD, can anyone tell me if it's a pretty good sidearm? |
| I just purchased my first XD45 4" Model last Sunday (still new to the family so please keep that in mind). I can tell you that I am very impressed with it thus far. About 200 rounds down range and no hic-ups. It fits my hands well and I am much more accurate with it than I am with my recently stolen sig 229 (gotta love traveling to Houston). I have numerous hand guns from sigs to glocks and a variety of wheel guns. This one has been a great addition and is slowly becoming my primary carry gun. |
| I just got a tactical 45. Only 1 range trip so far, but I was very impressed with the results. I was actually surprised by how good it was. Like I said, it's only 1 range trip so far, so I hesitate to start glowing about it already, but I'm very happy with what I got for my $500. |

I've put over a thousand rounds through my XD45 without a failure that I didn't cause. (I put some low-power match ammo through it and it would not cycle.) I haven't seen a round it wouldn't chamber, either. In fact I loaded up 5 fired cases, and hand-cycled the slide; it chambered all 5 cases without any problem. I CCW with mine daily. I have complete confidence in it. |

"pretty good sidearm" in my opinon they are the best polymer handgun on the market especially for the price point i have 2 xd's and i love em and i will definetly be buying more. and there is nothing like the 13+1 capacity that comes in the xd frame that is a great size and even easy for me to manipulate even with my small hands. |

I've had an XD-40 since 2002(maybe 2001?) and love it, when they came out with the 45's, I ended up getting both the 4" and 5" models after a little while, still haven't gotten around to picking up the compact model in 45 yet, but I did get a subcompact XD-9 for my wife for concealed carry. The only thing I don't care for about them is the width of the slide... Everything else is great. |
| I just fondled a few 45's last night' XD45, M&P45, and a kimber tactical. I like the S&W hands down on the way it fit my hands, but the trigger was absolutly the worst I have felt. I loved the Kimber, but is a little pricier than the other 2. The springfield would probably be my choice of the two, with the Kimber being first. |
