any talk of this gun coming to reality?

 

[xdsnake]

it sure would be sweet i really wish they would come out with a three inch sub compact in .45 gap.

 

[weedsnager]

yeah even g.a.p. would be nice, better then nothing!

I wouldn't count on .45 ACP to ever be a caliber in the XD family.

where the best place to buy the cheapest 45 gap ammo?

If they made an XD in .45 ACP instead of th eCRAP i mean the GAP i would buy three of them. One ACP in a tactical one in a service and one compact. I think as the XD gets more popular they will come out with more offerings or at least i hope so

http://www.oneclickshooting.com/ is the last place I bought my ammo at a great price. Sometimes I'll go to my local police range and hope they have it in stock. Other places people like to check out is http://www.midwayusa.com as well as http://www.outdooramericastore.com/ .

I hope this gives you a point in the right direction.

Cheers

Do some reading!

Unless SA does a complete redesign on the XD frame, the .45 ACP will never be offered.

The whole purpose of the .45 GAP is to allow a small frame gun to shoot a .45 bullet at velocities similar to the .45 ACP.

You may not like the GAP and that is your right. However, get the facts straight to the reason it exists.

Now for opinion. The XD is a great gun but SA did not design it. SA copies and improves, they do not design. So IMHO, they will not offer the XD in .45 ACP

This is so obvious. Yet the calls for .45 in ACP never cease. If Springfield or IM made a polymer gun in .45 ACP it would be a different gun. I'm sure they could call it an XD, but it wouldn't truly be an XD...the dimensions would have to be different. The feel would be different. Everything would be different.

If a subcompact .45 ACP is a "must", why not go with a Springfield "Micro"? The GI version is not much more expensive than an XD. I don't know what they sell for, but I would think very close...MSRP is $578. Only slightly heavier than the XDSub and about a quarter inch longer. (And no known rust issues...LOL)

Peace,
