| are 45 xd a reliable handgun? |

I shot 1500+ rounds (Yea I know, not much but I'm not a baller) without cleaning my XD9 service (only boresnaked the barrel). This was with WWB which we all know is a pretty dirty ammo.
Not a drop of oil was added after the initial cleaning and lubing. Nothing wiped off during that time. Not a single failure of any type. After about 200 rounds

are 45 xd a reliable handgun? Probably moreso than most mid-grade/stock 1911's. I finally broke down and picked up the Compact .45 with the stainless slide. I didn't care so much for the 9mm and .40 cal versions (already have both in Glocks and a few Sigs). I stumbled on a few of those magazine accessory packs, so I figured I might as well get the pistol to go with them 
So far, only about 300 rounds of FMC and a couple boxes of Speer Gold Dots and some brand of JHP (not sure Rem or Win). Not one issue...directly from the box, no lube, and straight onto the range; no FTE or FTF...I'm impressed. Top tier pistols will fire out of the box with no issues...Glock, Sig, H&K, CZ and it's easy to place the XD series in the same category. If Glocks don't fit you and you want something lighter than a full sized steel 1911 with high capacity, the XD45 is an excellent option. ROCK6 |
