Springfield XD 45 ACP

[adam223]

It's official and the rumors are true. Springfield finally came out with a .45 ACP Extreme Duty pistol. Read more here:

Time to order one...

Springfield has a lot of stuff cataloged that you cant get.

Like the 1911 in 45 GAP...

I would not hold my breath for an XD in 45 ACP. If it shows, I bet its 2007 or real late 2006.

[GearHead]

Wow.. That looks nice.. Any idea on pricing? I couldn't find anything.

[Gman]

I never would have suspected that you could get the .45 ACP in a 9mm form factor. I was told you had to have a .45 GAP to pull that off. :roll:

The Croatian HS2000 was a good value. The Croatian XD is not, IMHO. Who'd a thunk a Springfield Armory rollmark was worth more than $150?

Dang I kick myself for not buying that HS2000 when I saw it. The XD's were just coming out and a dealer had a few HS2000's left for way cheap. I should have bought them all.....

I have a buddy that would love that. I love my XD 40.

[adam223]

I absolutely love my XD9 and XD40. The XD is one of the best pistols I own. I frequently recommend it to friends. Even with the Springfield markup it's still one of the best values out there. I also wish I had gotten one of the HS2000's when they were available but oh well.

I don't have any idea about pricing either. Looks like they've got quite a marketing campaign behind it so I expect them to start appearing in large numbers early next year. Depends on how fast those Croatian manufacturers can crank 'em out.

As with any new pistol introduction I'm a bit leary of going out and buying the first production run. Hopefully some reviews and 1000+ round tests will start appearing soon.

I can't wait to get my hands on one and try it out.

[The1andOnlyKC]

The last 45 I had that was on a 9mm/40 frame was crap. I dont think I will try it again.

[BadShot]

I'll happily shoot any one that someone decides to buy and bring to the shoot for one of those 1000+ round test. I imagine that we could muster up the ammo and the folks to hit the 1k mark

[Gman]

They had better bring more than 2 mags! :wink:
