XD is actually a very good choice. Glock like built quality and durability with 1911 like pointability and safety. :smile:

The seller stated that the hammer, and bushing has been replaced. Also the grip safety has been worked on. Given the contour of the new hammer you may not get hammer bite at all, but looks could be deceiving. :lol: The wonderful thing about a 1911 is if you don't like something about it, you can always change it. Same goes for the Glocks too. :cool:

You can use a 1911 for all. Carry, target shooting, using it in matches, etc... What you may want to do is go out there and see if you can either borrow a friends or rent one to shoot. It's a bit different than a Glock. There are safeties you have to disengage, The grip angle is a bit different as well. If you are used to the grip angle on a Glock, your front sight will be low. See how you like it and then decide. Good luck on your decisions. That is one fine looking modded milspec. :cool:
