This weekend I purchased an XD45 compact to replace my Taurus as my CCW gun. Unfortunately I purchased it in Maryland and wont be able to pick it up for seven days. My question is about night sights. The Trijicon sights (and all the other night sight manufacturers) state they will fit an XD45 but don't specify the Compact version. Are the sights the same on either model?

Are these something that someone with even a little bit of shop skills can switch out themselves?

TIA

congrats. I just got one a week ago from Buds. I love it. Mine came with trijicon already (a little added bonus). I like the fact that I can go from a compact to a standard by changing mags.

I replaced a Kahr after the last two Kahrs gave me nothing but problems.

Actually the Taurus PT145 Pro I have had for several years has functioned spectacularly. Eats anything I put in it without a single malfunction. The problem I have with it is the sights are fixed and I want night sights for my CCW gun. So the Taurus will become my home defence handgun with an attached light on the rail and the XD will become my CCW piece.

much the same story here...   never had a problem w/my 24/7 .40....but I shot an XD a few weeks ago, and just couldn't go back to the Taurus.  

XD is a much superior pistol IMO.   I'm still hanging on to my Taurus as well...it retired from EDC to "upstairs house-gun" duty.
