Had to add another .45

[The.Other.Jared]

I walked into my LGS earlier this week to buy some reloading supplies and made the mistake of checking out their current inventory. I've been itching for a full size .45 ACP and I happened to come across this:

Of course I had to take a closer look. I immediately fell in love. XD45 Tactical Mod 2. Got it and a Lee .45 die set for a total of $400.

Very nice addition. I love my XD and how it tells me where to grip it.
They should add "This end towards bad-guy" at the muzzle.

 

[avvidclif]

It's Millennial pistol;

Grip here,
Point this end to bad guy,
Look at this end,
Put finger here,
Make a fist.

Listen for Bang.

Any .45 is a good .45!

The newest manufactured XD's assume you have learned which end to hold. Here's a comparison between my 2 subcompacts:

The Tactical I just bought is new, but was manufactured before the removal of "grip zone."

I enjoy my service size. Good guns. If it weren’t for the grip zone I wouldn’t know where to grab.

Right, and pelosi is the fairy godmother of guns.

She's going to save us from all the deadly guns. If the laws she wants go into effect, we'll all be safe !!!

.45 is my love!
What can you do with any other auto that you cannot do with a .45?

 

[avvidclif]

Shoot 9mm, ducking and running....

 

[Charlie]

.45ACP is the best! Why shoot a nine when a 45 is available?

.45acp is the only way to go. I am partial to Government Model 1911's.
in 2014 , Illinois finally approved Concealed Carry for common folk. Really expensive and extensive to get a permit. It took 16 hours of classroom and then range (shooting proficiency) time with a certified State Police Instructor. You had to provide your own handgun, ammo and holster. My Training Officer took one look at what I brought, got a big smile on his face and said, "what in the world are you toting that chunk of pig-iron for?" i looked down at my WWII issue Remington-Rand 1911a1, What are you talking about? He produced his Glock with a smile. I am not a fan of Glock of any kind. I told him what is that? He said that mine was too heavy and only had 8 shots. I laughed and said that he needed to shoot better and heavy is only a matter of what you are used to. Besides this old Colt will out last that plastic toy. I made him a bet, I said, let's take our pieces out here on Route 120 and throw them out on the pavement and let traffic run over them for a while and I will tell you which one still works! He didn't want to do that. He then told me that they weren't accurate. I just said, with which hand?
I was in the first group to be issued a Concealed Carry Permit in Illinois.
However.... My permit expired on the first of March. I applied for a renewal and paid the fees and attended the required re-training filled out the forms and it was denied. Hey... it is ILLINOIS!

Heh! I'm not against plastic guns, I just prefer the 1911 in 45. Good choice!
