Springfield Armory XD Tactical Model .45 ACP Review

I replaced my Glock 21 .45 with an XD-45 Gen 1 several years back. I actually got the service model with the 4" barrel for concealed carry reasons. Glad I got a stainless slide version while they were still available new. I still prefer the XD Gen 1 personally. I just like the looks of it without the "Grip Zone" or huge "XD" across the grip. The Gen 1 is a classic to me. Notice the Glocks still look mostly the same after 40+ years as well (not to mention 1911s). I may pick up one of these Gen1 Tactical models with the longer barrel, just to have in case Springfield ends those too. I feel Springfield would have a larger sized market if they would tone down the marketing stuff and just focus on perfection, and stop with replacing/retiring models all the time. Gun buyers don't like short shelf lives with their guns, and neither do aftermarket parts manufacturers.

Have had my "Tac" for a long time. Great in .45acp.

I have 2 XDs both are service modes, one is a 40 and the other is 45. They are both excellent and yes I would love to have the the Tac but I already have excellence and my wallet can't take the hit because of medical expenses. I have several 13 round mags for the 45 and several 12 round mags for the 40. I feed all my 45s with 200 gr HPs and the 40 with 155 HPs. All my 45s are ready and able to get the job done with the 200 grain pellets which I have used in 1911s since the early fifties. Now if a crew would like to take what little a old disabled couple has I suggest they pack a lunch and have a relatives phone number so they can be notified because we can't flee.
