What is the height of the XD45 "Compact"?
I have a 4" XD9 Service model and I'm considering getting a XD45. Bud's is giving them away at $449 shipped for a regular service model but, the "compact" model is $503. I know the "compact" will conceal better but, what is the actual height of the "compact"? I'm concerned about the shorter grip length of the XD45 "compact". Is it shorter than the XD9 Service? My hand just fits the grip of my XD9 as it is.
On the Springfield website the XD9 Service shows a height of 5.5" and XD45 Service shows a height of 5.75" but, the XD45 "compact" does not have a height listed. Does anyone have one to measure or show some side by side pics next to the XD9?

SA Spec sheet lists the height of the Compact as 5" with the regular magazine, 5 3/4" with the extended mag.
They list the height of the 9mm Service as 5 1/2 ".

The 5" measurement is from the top of the rear sight to the bottom of the mag. It's 4 7/8" from the top of the slide to the bottom. However, here's a better idea of how it will fit your hand. There is ~ 2 1/8" below the trigger guard which just fits my 3-finger grip. The width of my 3 fingers is 2".

XD9Sub that is exactly what I was looking for. My hand fits exactly like that on my XD9 Service that has a 5.5" height. I was concerned about how my hand would fit on a compact. It looks like my pinky may hang off the bottom.
