You will lose roughly 50 FPS per inch. Welcome to the forum.

I own and shoot an XD45acp 5" tactical compact and I absolutely love it. I love the way it feels in my hand and I love the way it shoots. Matter of fact, I am getting ready to buy another one just like it.

Thanks for the Replies.
I`ll take a look at the 5" Compact. Was looking at the 4" because of the smaller overall size. I suppose I could shoot a lighter bullet,say a 185 gr. JHP. to get the velocity back up there. Anyone know if the 50 fps. velocity loss that the first poster said I would lose really be an issue with 230 gr. FMJ`s? Thanks, Pete |
