Im new to this board, read alot in the past few weeks though and recently purchased an XD 45.
I thought it was new, but its not. haha. To be honest, this is my first gun I ever owned. I paid 500 with taxes and everything. Problem is, it came in a plano gun case, still has the reloader, a 10 rd mag, 13 rd mag, and a mag holder. No holster or the real XD case. I have no idea how many rounds went through it as I thought it was new when I bought it.
No reason in debating on if I got a good deal or not as the money is already spent. I think I spent a little much, but now I'm wiser on buying guns. I do love this gun though. But here is where I need help, I got hooked on this gun and want to purchase another, so in an effort to erase any doubt, I turn to this forum for advice on the next gun.
Another gun store I went to had a XD(m) brand new for 730 (with the black slide) or 770 with the stainless steel slide. OR they had a XD(m) that is a rental with only 300 rounds through it. Comes with everything a new one has and they want 550 for that one. Are all three of these good prices? The rental gun is a year old and they said the reason it was not fired that much is people don't tend to spend the money for .45 ammo just to shoot a little, rather opt to shoot a 9mm or .40
BUT the gun I really really want is a springfield 1911. Those are pretty hard to find around here (southern Oklahoma). But this shop has a TRP 1911, the stainless one (PC9107LP), brand new for 1500. It seems a little steep, but then again, I don't know! The only other Springfield 1911 around here is where I bought my used XD from and its the basic basic model for 5-600. I like all the stuff the TRP has on it, but just need help!
So any help would be greatly appreciated!
The reason I was checking out the XD(m) even though I already have an XD is that XD(m) feels good! And the reason I would want a springfield 1911 is because I guess I'm sort of a name brand whore. Just like to keep things of the same making, plus I'm not expeirenced in firearms and had no problems thus far with the springfield, so why change brands?
