A kid at work (Just turned 21) bought an XD45 Tactical 5" the other day. The price was $620. Plus $15 transfer fee. Plus $15 chamber lock. Plus tax. Plus (I think) a bit of switcheroo with the magazines. One of the two 13 round mags turned into a 10. The Springfield catalog shows the Tactical as having 2 full sized mags. The smaller versions can come with one of each.
The transfer fee was necessitated by having to order the pistol in. The dealer had sold the one he had in stock before the kid could legally make a deposit. Springfield includes a lock with their pistol. This was apparently not the "approved" type. Sorry, must charge for the good one.
Have I been out of the new pistol game too long? I thought XD's were a good value. What is the MSRP? What about the going rate in Maryland?
This kid wants an M-4gery with bells and whistles on it next. The dealer has offered to order it AND dress it up for a nominal sum. I wonder.
