Range report.... Springfield XD Tactical .45

[OaklandScottie]

Great write-up OP. Makes me really regret passing on one when it sat in the FS thread for weeks. Won't make that mistake again

Have the XD Tactical (in OD) in 40S&W, they are sweet shooters, nice shooting by the way.

Arg! Those OD XD 45 Tacs make me jealous! Mine's plain jane black, but it shoots every bit as nice. Glad more people are "discovering" this gem of a pistol.

No... It's a FACT that the OD green shoots better than the black, but not quite as good as the FDE model! Lol. All kidding aside, I've never shot a pistol better than I shoot this one. It's got a permanent home with me for sure.

Great post. I just purchased a black one that I can pick up this weekend. Already have a XD40 SC as EDC - love it. Also have an SA 1911-A1. So this is a great addition to the collection.

My dad has a xd 45 compact and it is a great gun it's has low recoil for a .45acp round and am I pretty accurate with it. Though he just bought a hk usp compact in .45 so I will see which one I like better this weekend.

I'm also in the market for a XD40 Tactical..looking for one in FDE, but they are definitely harder to find.

I have the XD .40 4" version, love it so far, although I could use some serious work on my shooting to get a grouping anywhere near that.

I will actually admit that it isn't. The Glock finish is one of the most durable factory finishes out there. If you draw out of a kydex holster enough, the XD's finish will strip off much faster than a Glock's. But we're talking a LOT of draws out of the holster to achieve this (this is my original competition XD9 after about 10,000 rounds through it).

Sure the oxide coating came off, but the surface treatment should still be there!

Nice shooting op! I have a XD 9 tactical that I LOVE. It has thousands of rounds down the pipe with no malfunctions at all. I love me some XD!
