Tell me more!!! I want to get one. I love my Springfield 1911 Compact LW .45 and I would LOVE to have a Compact XD-45.

The compact XD45 is a 45ACP pistol that has a shorter grip. More suitable for everyday carry. But, the barrel length is still 4".

Just got my compact on Saturday. Dimensions very similar, almost identical in some regards as my Glock23. Shot it at range on Sunday - awesome. Very natural feel and I like trigger better than Glock I have. Will be my carry gun - great dimensions and 10rnds of 45acp - yowza!

Where you been Vince? On Exile Island?

tis a beautiful weapon. i shoot the center out of all my targets at the range at 10' - 25'. like after 25 rounds, the center is gone with no bullet holes anywhere else.

I had the pleasure of shooting one at a local range recently. This dude was there and wanted to shoot the wife's XD9, so I got to fire his XD45 compact.

What did I think? I now MUST have one. It was great, less felt recoil than the 9mm (a subcompact). Also, the XD45's trigger was better than the XD9. A must have in my book.

I stopped by Turners on the way home and I'll be damned.....they had just put one in the case. March 2nd I bring it home.

It's all your fault!

My friend just got his last night. He got the 5" compact 45. Very nice. Now I want a 5" compact in 9mm. Hopefully they will start making those soon.

Does anyone know where to get the full 13 round mags with sleeves for the compact 45? I can't seem to find them at Midway or PistolGear.
