Am I paying too much? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I have an XD 45 ACP on the way. I am also having the Tritium sights put on it. All of this from the same shop. So with the new weapon, the new sights put on, and all the accessories that come with the XD 45 ACP I am looking at 730.00 out the door. Am I getting a decent deal or paying too much?

I paid $551 and some change w/o night sights, $180 differance, hope they are really nice sights. Then again market in your area might be more $ for the gun...mine was 510 b4 any tax etc...hunter121

sounds really high to me

well the 4 in 9 and 40 with Heinie Tritium Slant ProTM for factory is 626 retial so i would think you would pay in that range 700 + is way to much

As others have said, that's a little steep. I just got mine today and paid $560 after tax.

TO much wait a while check other shops. Talk to the shop profit is nice they don't need to make it all in one sale....

That sounds at least $50 too high.

Try to talk them down or take your business elsewhere or online.

More like 150.00 or so to high thats a few boxes of ammo and a shooting bag tell him to through in that stuff on the deal....
Edit" sorry I missed the part of new sight install .....

I paid $519 for a stock XD45. Have not got night sights yet.

Logic is this... 550.00 for the weapon, 130.00 for the sights. So 680.00 for that. Then the shop says that mounting the sights are free. Thats 680.00 plus tax out the door 730.00 Does that still sound like too much? I think the idea of a bag and some ammo is a good idea. I may try and get them to throw that stuff in too!!
