Greetings to all! I have been trying to narrow down a decision between the two. I have shot an early HS-2000 but not the 5" tactical. This would be a carry gun as well as a range and possibly game gun. Before everyone says the 5" barrel is too long, I do carry a 5" 1911 with an untucked shirt. How much will the additional thickness of the XD make vs the 1911 printing?
If you had to go with one over the other which would it be?

Thanks for all replies!

Bob

Both are great guns (which may sound weird as I've traded both of mine), but to me the Service model had a better balance and felt better to me than the Tactical.

I am of the mind set of, why buy one when you can buy one and put one on layaway!
