I was planning to get one on Friday, so if it's on sale, I'll be a very happy camper Hell even at the current price is $40 cheaper then every gun shop in San Diego. They all want $560, tuners regular price is $520.

Will Turner's ship to my FFL? At that price I might want to pick up an extra.

start running on thursday. I'm still in debate of the 45 and 40. I can swap barrels in the 40 or use the conversion $$ to get a reloading press for the 45.

I just reserved one. I have a serial number Good deal especially with the package it comes with.

Do you like the gun that much ?

If your choosing between the 40 and 45, id stick with the .40 (you can get another barrel to do 9mm if you get the 40sw) 45acp belongs in a thompson or 1911 :-)

In one evil mind I should get the biggest cal I can get but won't be able to shoot AS often as a smaller cal. So in the economical mind, I can get the 40 shoot it a lil more and swap the barrel to shoot the cheaper 9 when the wallet gets tight and also have the GF shoot if she wants.

All XD's are the same price from Tuners, $499 for blk XD9 and XD40. And $ 519 for a Bitone XD9 or XD40 or blk XD45 (non sale price). Plus i never shot a 45 before. So that is another factor for me. I rented the Glock 23 and 19 a couple of weeks ago at the range. Shot 100-150 rounds in both. Friends clicked off a few mags while I shot their guns.

get the 45 xd and for a 9mm get the cz 75 compact/p01. Best combo

Must fight desire...

There is a (slight) possibility that one might move to a free state.

a. once you live in california, you never move.

b. Why would anyone (excluding glock fanatics) want a .45 that is not a HK USP or 1911?

A. I love the way that an XD feels in my hands. It is extremely comfortable. A USP grip just feels to big and boxy in comparison.

B. The cost of an XD compared to a 1911 or USP is very enticing.I cannot see paying 300-500 dollars more for something that will not do the job requiried of it any better than an XD.

I think all the newer 2006 XD's have a newer coating and new style rail/frame.

If you look at the new XD-45, youll notice it has two slots on the accessory rail; while the older XD Service/Tactical has one slot. Now when you look on Springfield's XD catalog (pdf), you'll notice ALL the new Service/Tactical XD's have two slots (except the green models).

Also, I notice my friends new XD-40 Tactical looked much better then my friends older style XD-40's, Service and Tactical - but it couldve just been oiled up or something...
