I’ve been eyeing the XD .45 myself. The specs are great, and I’ve held one — I have pretty small hands, and I’m amazed that 13 rounds of .45 ACP fit in that compact package.
Before I pull the trigger (ahem) on the purchase, I’d like to find a range that has one for rent, so I can put a few mags through one before I buy. I’m also tempted by the CZ, because it allows swapping out the works so I can plink away with .22 before practicing with the more expensive ammo.
I’ve shot a friend’s XD45 and liked it a lot, I’ve got an XD9 which is also fine. They’re both great value IMHO.
