RE: Springfield XD Compact 45 ACP
I have a full size xd 45 with the 4" barrell. Love it. If I were in the market to buy another new handgun, I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one. It is heavy and would not make a good concealed carry gun though. I was just on their website and for 08 they have a safety on the slide. I havent shot it that much (probably 300 rounds or so) but it is a great shooting gun. I havent had one jam or loading problem. Matter of fact, I shot a deer at 20 yards in the back of the head with a 230gr hydrashock, one handed. Not trying to brag or sound cocky, it is just a great pointing gun.
