About a month ago, I sold my 2 Glock 21's, both get 3's, because though they are accurate and reliable, I didn't like the feeling of a brick in my hand. If I had kept them, the improvements I was looking to make were grip reductions, and forward cocking serrations...

I have been a member on this site for a while, but hadn't really taken much time to research as I should. So, after the sale of my glocks (no I wasn't without a pistol, I have a few 1911 colts!), I did alot more reading here. It seemed the XD45 Tactical had everything I wanted, sans the sights (and that's no biggie, I have changed the sights on every weapon I own, lol)

I finally went to a gunstore tonight and holy crapola batman, they just were opening up a XD45 Tactical as I walked in the door. I asked to see it, and immeadiately fell in love with the grip upon holding it. Don't like the sights, and will be looking to replace with Truglo TFO's. The trigger seems to have quite a bit of travel, but is definately crisper then my 3.5 connector equipped glocks I had. All in all, I am very excited, and can't wait to take it to the range on Sunday!!!

I'm with you! The glock 21's never felt right in my hand (and I've got some pretty big mitts) but I have fallen in love with my 45 tactical. I still like and carry the lesser caliber glocks (my off-duty gun is a G32) but that may change once Springfield comes out with a sub-compact in 45. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your new roscoe.
