RE: Springfield XD Compact 45 ACP
You absolutely cannot go wrong with an XD! Fantastic pistol.......accurate, rugged and so easy to field strip and put back together it ain't even funny. I've yet to have a FTF (fail to feed) with it and I've put a lot of different types of ammo through it. Ergonomically it's great, it fits good in your hand and points naturally.
They are just great guns....Springfield knocked it out of the park with this one!
I believe the compact comes with both the short 10 round magazine for CC use as well as the full size magazine with the grip extension for range use/plinking and such. My cousin just bought the .40 XD compact as he lives in Indiana and has a CC permit....lucky bastard!
