would you get a 1911 if you already have a XD45? - Page 7 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

yep, get a 1911, the only thing it has in common with your xd is the round its chambered for, i have both and enjoy the hell out of both of them

yes

Of course!

I switched from a 1911 for concealed carry, and bought an XD .45 compact, and I am not looking back. Less weight, even carrying more rounds, and much more reliable. In firearms training classes, other guns have jammed up or stopped functioning altogether, but not my XD's.

I know I won't score any points around here with this one, but the only reason I bought my XD45 Tactical was because I didn't have the cash on hand to buy the 1911 I really wanted. Had sudden windfall one night I wasn't expecting, bought the XD the next morning (hard to find a gun store open at midnight on a Wednesday...).

I still plan to get a 1911 in the future, but the $800+ entry price for what I want is a bit much on a bartender's wages.

Plus I also need an M4gery, and I think that'll come first, since it's more likely to become legally difficult sooner...

Giving some serious thought to temporarily parting with some of the revolvers to finance semi-auto purchases.

No. I fired a 1911 recently and can't figure out what the appeal is.

Yes. Get the 1911. It's mankind's greatest achievement. The magazine capacity is plenty.

You're just broken.

GW45NUT · 07-13-2007, 09:40 PM

Not to cause any trouble here but, I traded a XD45 Tactical I loved for a 1911 I loved even more. I was a little strapped and well... One day I probably will find my way back with a service XD model since the 1911 has the 5 inch barrel I wanted. The 1911 I went with was the Dan Wesson PM7. Now that she is broken in, she is smooth as butter. I don't really miss the 14 rounds because I know that I will hit what ever I aim this thing at! The trigger pull is a dream on this 1911. Maybe 4Lb on the heavy side, probably more like 3 3/4lb. Little take up and no over travel. This without a doubt is the most accurate and tightest 45 I have ever owned.
