I was up in the air about either the 4" or 5". Sounds like I'll be better served with the Tactical. Range and home defense only. No carry. Well I can't say that for sure. I did carry a Glock 20 in the winter for a while.

I bought the 4" for carry. I go to gun games with it because I carry it, I don't buy guns for specifically gaming. All matches, etc I attend are with a carry gun.

The 5" is one inch too long for me.

Additionally, one may gain 75-100fps per inch, but what gain is made if that is 'my longer sight radius game gun'. Gain is negligable. ymmv

I like the 4". Besides the obvious reasons of the 4" being easier to conceal, etc. it looks more pleasing to the eye, imho. Not sure why the 1911 looks perfect as a 5", but the XD 5" looks too long?

Bump Some of you say "well I like the 4" for carry and the 5" for target". For those of you that prefer both for different situations, just choose one. For those of you that actually prefer one over the other in all aspects, then choose the one you prefer. This wasnt suppost to be a detailed poll, its simply "which do you prefer".
