I shot my first .45 tonight, SA XD .45, 4 inch. It felt really good. I have been thinking about buying my first gun and was leaning toward a .40 before but now I definitely want the .45. Just need to find a local dealer with a bi-tone .45 tac.

Too bad you don't live here in CO we got an amazing guy who runs a pawn shop and is an SA dealer. All the XD's are between $420.00-$450 depending what model you choose. Best prices I've ever seen. And yes they're new guns.

Where is this? In Grand Junction? It's almost worth the cost of the drive from Denver...almost.

Yea grand junction just 3 1/2 hours from you. I got my XD tactical .45 for $445.99 The guy who runs it is named Jimmy and he can get almost any gun you want and he only charges +$10 on top of what it costs him. Honestly the best gun prices I've ever seen. Thats why I drop over $1000 a month usually on guns now since I've found him. And you wouldn't believe his layaway policy LOL

Nice. Will you be so kind as to post or PM to me the name/location of this den of secrets?

magillicutty · 09-05-2007, 05:17 AM

I wish I was out there that sounds great!

I found a dealer thats a little farther from home than where I shoot but I talked to them over the phone on a couple prices and they were 60-80$ cheaper than the dealer by my house.

I'm going to see if they have the .45 I want tonight.

you better run man dont buy the 45 yu will love it an that means , lots of ammo !!!! hahahah i really enjoy the 45's waiting to get a 4in compact model now , for me you are makin the right choice i personally have no use for a 40 cal anything it just dont fit if i want reduced power from a 45 ill go 9mm, 45's just feel good !!! and they work great , what model you wanting to buy>? if your not goin to carry it id stick with the tactical ,

magillicutty · 09-05-2007, 09:49 AM

Thanks for the warning! I'm very new to shooting in general, I was home last night and I just got the itch to drive to the range.

I am planning on going with the tactical. I don't plan on carrying and there is something appealing to me about getting a big ass handgun. The other benefits (recoil, sight line distance) seem like a good idea as well.

I think I will go call the dealer now to see what it is in stock.

fritzmeister · 09-05-2007, 10:01 AM

AHHHH yes, the .45. Remember, bigger holes are better holes!!!

I love my XD45. I just can't see myself ever getting a smaller caliber semi-auto.

DeltaCharlie2 · 09-05-2007, 10:12 AM

I totally agree with you guys. I bought my first handgun this 4th of July: a Smith & Wesson Model 457 (45 acp). Then a Taurus PT 24/7 Pro, also a .45. Now I'm in the middle of my 3-day waiting period to go pick up my XD-45. I can't freakin wait.

I started with 45's and haven't looked back since!
