Excuse me, "youre" is actually spelled "you're."

If you wish to discuss this further, pm me.

Not to mention he used you're which is a conjunction of you and are which makes no sense in the context that he was using it in.

Should have been 'your'

it also comes with hard case, two clips, mag loader, holster w/attacthment spots. and double magazine holder.

I could have got a 9mm or a .40cal for $200 or a .45cal for $325 Didnt think the .45 was worth the extra $125 though. Although its still cheaper then retail

Ill give you 210 for it

The XD's are pretty nice. I wasn't awhere that they had a 45ACP offering. Pretty cool. Since here in Wisconsin we don't have a conseal carry permit still something smaller isn't really on my want list, but it is nice for that purpose.

I don't know who would consider the chamber indicator, or striker indicator useful or good features. To me it promotes laziness and bad habits.

On the other hand the grip safety is a nice feature. An additional safety measure over the glock without worrying about having to "thumb" a safety.

I don't know where everybody is getting them so cheap (have yet to see .45 yet). Round here the price difference over the glocks doesn't make them worth while.

$200 that is a steal. Which length slide did you get.

Yeah -- I understand your thoughts on the chamber/striker indicators, but considering that this gun is heavily marketed to Law Enforcement, I understand why they added these features.

Imagine a scenario where you're a Cop chasing down a badguy into a building. During the chase, you do a tactical reload while on the move. You enter the building and with eyes scanning the area, you perform your search. Its nice to have a feature that lets you know of your weapons status by a tactile feel of the indicator.

I'm sorry I don't like XD's if they truly come from glock's design then I'll pass for two reasons's glock after going through battlefield conditoins have the nac for half ejecting, and two I don't like the short barrel its way less accurate then if you get a full size.

Do it right the first time.
.44 Magnum Ruger
1911A2 Springfield
.45ACP H&K Tac USP

lol

There not quite like Glock's design, but it is similar. I own a glock. The only ammo it has ever half ejected on is the Blazer stuff with aluminum shell casing. Buy Federal or Double Tap (like I should have!!!

)

Short barrel? Since when is 4.5 in a "short" barrel? I'd be willing to bet that the barrel is accurate enough. I'm not trying to hit a quarter at 25 yards here . . . .
