Living In A Bizarro World
My first two handguns (I bought them at the same time in 2008) were a S&W 686 and a Springfield Armory XD45 Tactical (5in barrel). I loved both guns, but sold the revolver to a forum member about a year ago.
This XD45 is a BIG pistol that holds 13+1 (of Speer Gold Dot 230’s) and is an absolute tack driver. I’ve never had ANY malfunctions in over 2k rounds. It shoots everything! It may not be pretty, but it is reliable.
My TLR-1 HL fits it perfectly. I’ve also since added Talon grips.
With all the subsequent XD generations, you can get this handgun at a very cheap price. There are no interchangeable back straps, but it fits my hand right and points naturally if you like the 1911 grip angle.
It is my nightstand gun and has been for 10 years. Every time I consider changing it up with my CZ SP-01, I can’t do it and I love my SP-01!
If anyone is looking for a cheap full sized 45acp, give it a look.
YMMV
