the girl that works at the gun range i frequent has one, and offered to let me shoot it awhile back if i brought the ammo.
well last night i picked up 50 rounds of .45ACP and headed up there.

that was the nicest gun i've fired yet. seriously.. i now hate my XD9 lol.
well i dont hate it, but it made me decide to go ahead and sell it, and get my wife the M9 she wants, i'll start saving now for the XD45.

i'm going to shoot a Baby Eagle .45 today, my friend just got it and it looks solid, cant wait lol.

cheers

Some might be interested in how the Baby Eagle compares to the XD45, in regards to accuracy in your hands. I suspect the XD45 will be a little better

i'm betting your right. i was expecting a good jolt from that XD .45, but it was about like shooting my 9, only with a bit more meat to it lol.

i fondled a tactical and a service 45 yesterday and i thaght the tactical model was just a bit nose heavy for me i havent found a sc 45 instock yet to hold it , for my next purchase thogh its either going to be an XD 45 service or a HK USPC .

BoomerBSG · 02-02-2007, 09:05 AM

well i went yesturday, and shot a Colt Defender .45, man thats a violent little gun to shoot. accurate as hell, but it really did hurt to shoot. deffinatly would want gloves for it.

when it came time to shoot the Baby Eagle, my friend loaded a mag in, and went to rack the slide, and it wouldnt budge. he took the gun apart partially and tried to fix it, but couldnt get it to work. while i understand **** happens, if a gun cant function out of the box as intended, i wouldnt buy it. he was upset to say the least.

by fondeling did you shoot it or just handle it? i've shot a couple .45's so far, and that XD .45 is a damn dream to shoot it really is an amazing weapon imo. i shot the service model .45. while i have a hankering for a 1911, the xd .45 is my next purchase, and my wife knows this lol.

oh and i'm no longer selling my 9mm, i've been waffling back and forth on the idea, and finally decided against it. i may later on when i'm ready to pick up that xd 45.. some how 9mm just isnt as fun to shoot any more lol.

cheers

i just handled it id love to shoot one and see how it does tho ive shot other 45's before glocks, 1911's,sigs the XD grip just fits me better but im starting to grow awful partial to the HK USPC id love to shoot both of the 2 side by side for comparison.

seriously, dont shoot one till your ready to buy one lol.
but if you've got nothing to do this weekend.. find someone/someplace to rent or borrow one to shoot. you will love the XD 45. i can imagine if the Service was so nice to shoot i bet the tactical is even nicer.

monsterdawg725 · 02-02-2007, 10:40 AM

ill be shooting this monday and hopefully theyll have a XD 45 i can try out, i handled the tactical version it seemed a little muzzle heavy for me .

Damn that sucks. Could he rack it back, or it would it not release once he racked it?

Either way, doesnt look good for the Baby Eagles.

I felt the same i shot the 9mm like it alot then i shot the 45 and expecting alot more kick that i nvr got. Ya it does kick a little more but not nearly what i was expecting so i got the .45 now sometimes i kinda wish i got that 9 just for the price of ammo. But i know if i did get the 9 i would b saying the same for the .45 so i guess the only solution is to get both. Muhahaha
