This is the first hangun I have ever owned and the first one I have fired in over ten years. Now that I live in NC and not in NY I thought it would be a good idea to have one for home protection. First time ordering through Buds and tghey were great, came when they said it would and were quick to answer questions when I called to check on the order.
When I recieved the gun from my FFL I purchased a cleaning kit and then proceeded to strip the gun and clean it.....THANK GOD FOR YOU TUBE!!! I am not going to lie but I was scared/nervous when I got to the range with all the noise and chambers flying around but the guys were quick to help out a beginner. Hardest part was the anticipation of that first shot recoil....after that I relaxed and settled it. On my second clip I hit the red bulls eye 11 of 13 shots at 15 yards. I put through 100 rounds of Winchester 230g FMJ's and experienced no problems. The weapon is too large for concealed carry other than in winter with a coat on but perfect for home protection. I enjoyed this weapon so much that after my CCW calss this week I will be purchasing the Springfield XD-m 45acp compact for my concealed. Great gun and will be buying from Buds again.

Tremendous firearm! When folks talk about the XD being smooth as butter (even when calibered in the .45) they mean it. I'm relatively new to shooting having gone to the range a handful of times, but the XD feels right at home in my hands. For a polymer gun, feel is truly amazing; weight is right now point and feels very sturdy. If you are only a fan of steel guns, give this one a shot. Fantastic ergonomics (XL to XXL hands and can still get all of my pinky on the grip but not too big for some of my friends) as the firearm just becomes an extension of your hand. Point and shoot accuracy using Federal brass although think will be running PMC through it in the future because have had good experiences with it in the past. Definitely don't pass this up if you are in the market for a great, dependable firearm. Quite frankly, its a bargain under $500 vs. a comparable Sig, S&W, etc.

My first Springfield XD model. This .45acp weapon was solid, with a grip that my 'medium' hands handled comfortably despite the 13 rounds of .45 it carries. The loaded chamber indicator was unobtrusive yet easily seen, and the "cocked" indicator was a surprisingly useful feature! The gun was accurate, and recoil was extremely manageable. Decent sights, reliable performance, modest size for the power in this package. The simple takedown procedure was simple and quick to master. Overall, the gun alone was well worth the price, but the mag loader, holster and magazine carrier make this package an outstanding deal for someone seeking a great value on a solid, reliable weapon!
