Thanks Hank. I bought a Steyr M40A1 a little while back and liked it so much I wanted a .45 caliber but they don't make them yet. So the M&P45 caught my attention. Lucky for me they just started shiping this week. I'm not a huge fan of the .40 caliber and most of my pistols are .45. I Also wanted to my reloading simple.

Well thanks for the responses, I took the xd45 back to Cabelas today (btw if you have not fired it they have a full refund policy). I ordered a black M&P45 from budsguns tonight for $66 cheaper than the XD45c. The Xd was just too blocky for me, and I bought it because they did not have what I wanted.

Hey I've seen you over at Steyrclub. Nice one is that a .40?

Not yet the M&P .40 compact just came out as well as the full size 45.

what do you guys like about the XD? it seems to get good feedback except from glock lovers . I like the capacity but the thing seems bulky. Anyone have a complaint?

Thanks, I saw your pics in the daily carry post. Can you compare shooting your XD to a glock? The Glocks I have shot tag my middle finger on my shooting hand.

Who has an XD45 and who has an M&P? I know the M&P 45 just came out and not many people have them yet so .40 or 9mm are close enough for comparison size and reliablilty wise. The XD compact is what I purchased but the darn slide is so huge I am having second thoughts. I have not shot it yet as I want to be able to return if needed.

The M&P will only hold 10 where the XDc holds 11 or 14 rounds (depending on mag). I know the holster will make a big difference, and would like to hear pros cons about the XD.

Another option is the M&P .40 compact, the only problem is the .40 is a bit more to handle in a small package. I have a Steyr M40A1 which shoots great.
