I had an XD40 before they came out with the XD45. It was a great gun but I sold it after getting a 1911 on a great deal because I couldn't afford both. This year I got my son an XD45 Compact (it comes with a 10 rd and a 13 rd Mag) and I "tested" it before and after delivery and watched him with it. A VERY good gun, very accurate, reliable, easy to disassemble, and good value for the $$$. I sleep easier knowing he has it.
