Got my New 45 Compact XD

[DrakeS]

Well after long nights and days i finnally bought the 45 xdc in earth tone,
i was a wreck trying to decide on what to buy and my freind bought this is in black and i treid it and i fell in love,

i thought i wanted the subcompact, very good size and all, but once i tried this 45 that was it,

the problem was finding one in the earth tone after numeress days and hours on the net, i found one in il.

two days later she arrives at the ffl and finnally get to try her out, i shot 100 rounds today,

i am shooting a nice grouping at 7 yds but i am having problems at a longer distance, 10 to 12 yards, i am shooting left, i think i just need to get better with practice, i know this beause my buddy picks her up lets 8 rounds go all in the black
so it is me :o
practice practice practice, and settle down

now the hard part trying to locate ammo for her seems to be pretty hard these days bought the last three boxs at a local Dick's, well back on the net in searching

I really debated on the XD 45 compact vs the XD SC 40 cal. I ended up with the XD SC 40 due to cheaper ammo. Not much anyways, but enough to make a difference. Plus, you can't find .45 ammo anywhere around here!

This may help you some as well.

Thanks Bman

I am leaning on to much trigger finger
and maybe tightening on the grip to much
like i said i need to settle down when at the range.

Been thinking about it and this seems logical
just need to put in the time practicing

Just got to range with my LN XD 45c, Sunday, shot all my reloads, factory
without a hitch. Ran our plate rack several times without a miss. Not to bad for first time out. I bought several extra mags and all worked perfect. I owned
2 Tact 40's and a Service 9mm. 45c was alot of fun.
