Cant Find a XD45 Tactical To Shoot! - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Im taking the advice of many in this forum- Ive already shot the 4" service in both .40 and .45. I live in San Diego, but Ill be damned if I can find a tactical in the area to shoot. Ive even looked at places in Oceanside, still with no luck.

Does any one know of a shooting range somewhere in the area for me to shoot a tactical? If I cant find one, Im just going to buy the 4" compact. Thanks for any help or comments...

I Like My 4 inch Service Model just fine...fits right in between the other two...hehe!!! Seriously...I have a 1911 A1 Springfield with a 5 inch barrel...I have had this gun for several years...and it shoots mighty fine...that is why I chose this XD model in the 4 inch....I am going to carry this one...thats for sure...I don't need three different XD's....so I bought the 4 inch...It fits all I need...and is very accurate.......to boot....an inch one way or the other ain't that big of a deal.....for pistols anyway...
Hope this helps........Guz

Good luck I was lucky just to find one to buy in San Diego. No doubt there are more Service models availble to buy & rent. If you like the Service model then you'll probably like the Tactical. The Tactical's longer sight radius makes it the easier of the two to shoot accurately IMO.

I have both the 4' and the 5" in 45 ACP

and I think they shoot the same Great if your going to carry go with the 4' if your tring to make and impression get the five it is quite menasing but a little hard to carry in my opinion

The Firing Line in Northridge (LA area) has a 5" you can rent. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out. It really put the hooks in me. Easy to shoot, and surprising accuracy. Right now I have a 4" in .40 S&W. I don't know if it's the longer sight radius, the softer recoil, or both, but I can shoot the 5" .45acp much more accurately for much longer. I've had one on order since May of last year. Sigh.

There is a BIG difference between 5" and 4" service IMO. I can shoot a fly off a Can with my 5", and I can shoot a Can off a fly with my 4". the Tactical has better trigger pull , better balance/handling/etc/etc. LOOOVE my 5". I conceal it to.

dude, the frames are the same. try swapping slide assemblies, and see how they shoot.

I do love my Tactical too!!
