I gave 550 for it new.

Sweet James. I had an XD once. I liked it, but there wasn't much for aftermarket support for it at the time so I traded for my Glock 35. Buying aftermarket stuff for that is almost like buying stuff for a Chevy 350.

How do you like the way it shoots?

don't hit me for this...but I've yet to shoot it.

I haven't had time to go to range and check it out proper.

gonna try to do it this weekend..I MIGHT go out in the backyard and shoot some S&B FMJ's through it though.

the aftermarket is absolutely blowing up for them now though...I think the .45acp is gonna be the run away success in the line honestly. Holding both it and a 9mm, the overall size really isn't too noticeable.

and the .45 holds an extra round over the .40 and .357.

Yeah, it's definitely better now than it was back in early '05 when I had mine. Still nowhere near as deep as the Glock aftermarket, but I don't guess it will be long.

How is it that the .45 holds more ammo than a .40? That's odd to me.

I thought the same thing.

BUT the .45ACP is built on a slightly larger frame, thus the grip is a little longer and wider, but seriously, the difference is hardly noticeable...the gun has great ergs.

go find one in a gunstore if you can and hold it.

I just hope the aftermarket explodes.

it's got Glock trumped in the trigger department if you ask me.

I hope if likes the TAP though, that stuff has a neat case plating.

it's a weird black nickel that's actually quite slick.

I'm planning on getting one of those very soon. Those things are sexy... and you can't go wrong with 13 rounds of .45.
