This is a non specific/necessary gun. I just haven't purchased a pistol in some time and would like something new. I'll be shooting IDPA, new this year, and will be using my 9mm for now, so this new gun may also be used once I'm broken in to compete in the other class.
I have a chance to get a nice .357 sig Springfield XD from my little bro that's getting a .45 and wants to sell it to me to fund his new gun.
So should I get the XD, or shop around and potentially spend more for a .45. He's selling me his XD for $400 btw, which is a fair deal?
thoughts? What should I go with? I've shot both and like both. (yeah I know the obvious is BUY BOTH, but I can't. ) Ammo price difference? .357 sig seems to be as affordable to plink (Winchester white box). .45 stronger stopping power? Anything else I should consider?
I request the vast knowledge of this oracle called THR.
