    Thinking about selling my XD .45

    I am thinking about selling my XD .45 and all its weapon specific kit, and putting the money toward my LWRC m6a2. (which is on order but not fully paid off yet)

    I have a Glock 19 that I use as my daily carry and normally the xd stays home with the lady for home defense. I would like to eventually get a HK .45... but funds these days are running pretty tight.

    So my question is I guess; would you all sell if you were in my position.. or hold out, buckle down and pinch penny's.

    I figure I can get about $650.00 for the XD and the kit.

    If I had an XD, I wouldn't be able to sell it fast enough. Either put it towards the carbine or pick up a good used Glock. Too much downside to the XD: crazy long grip frame, four and a half foot tall slide, and hideous aesthetics. Additionally, if you reverse the "XD", you get "DX". Just sayin'.

    I did exactly that a couple of months ago. There wasn't anything wrong with my XD45. I just never really warmed to it like I have with my other firearms.

    I still haven't decided what I'll be spending the money on...

    A second G19 wouldn't be a bad idea and shouldn't eat up all of the XD money either.

    Is the .45 version priced more than the 9mm version? There is a local place here with a bunch of XD9 and XD9M pistols and they are $545 for the regular and something near $100 extra for the m factor pistols and the OD colored one.

    Just based on that, $650 sounds high, but maybe there is a premium on the .45 caliber version?
    I save money using AMSOIL full synthetic lubricants. Do you?

    I also had a XD45...Sold it and went to a M&P45 Much better pistol..Much, much better ergo's. I also have 2 HK's a P-2000 and a USP both 9mm's both with LEM trigger, I'm impressed with both..either one is very accurate. I would'nt mind a HK45 myself, but like you, I don't have the funds..Why not give the M&P45 a look?? these are very,very, accurate pistols, price wise, they're about the same as a XD...And they're made in the U.S.A. S&W's warranty service is excellant, lifetime, like S.A. from what I've read, (My M&P has been flawless with about 1000 rnds through it so, I haven't needed S&W's CS) Seriously, Give the M&P a look.. Granted they're not a HK, But there's nothing wrong with them either, very well built for the money, accuracy wise they're no slouch.. as a added plus you can shoot cast lead bullets through them you can't (ok, should'nt) with a Glock or Hk because of the polygonal bore, and possible build up of lead, and frequent cleaning needed to keep lead from building up

    Thumbs up

    Already sold ... got the 650 I was looking for. For right now the money is going toward the m6a2... I think I am going to hold out and get a HK45 when funds become available.

    You got a good price. I was looking at a .45 ACP XD at Cabelas today. It was the 4" barrel, full grip, 13 rnd mag with the full kit... 2 extra mags, case and holster $569 new.

    I'm just not sure I want one. I've always liked my 1911's and my Glock 30.
