I use a Springfield Armory XD-45 Service (4"). I am debating about buying another but in the Tactical (5") version in bi-tone. What are the pros and cons of going to the longer barrel?
I have the Tactical model, and while it's a good shooter, for what I've ended up keeping it for I'd sooner have the 4" Service model. I've relegated the pistol to my nightstand so the extra length just makes the gun seem cumbersome.
Depends on what it's being used for. For concealed carry I would go with a shorter barrel. Granted, it's not necessary as many can and do conceal full size government model 1911's, but I would use the tactical model for IDPA and other such competitions because of the longer sight radius.
