very nice. i like the way this gun shot and the full sized version was very comfortable in my hand. i actually like the way this gun feels over the glock. however, i didn’t think the compact version was as comfortable. overall, supposed to be a very good bang for the buck. ---

The compact comes with the 10 round compact magazine, and the 13 round full size magazine with grip extender, it makes it the exact size as the full framed XD. Perfect for carry and range duty > [@Fake Id's ?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fake-ids/34955/32): > > also has the high capacity clip with it that extends the grip to the 5" version It’s a magazine 🙂 and the 5" barrel version comes in fullsize and compact as well. 4" and 5" both avail in fullsize and compact grip’s. Excellent choice tho, i am going to pickup a XD40SC to compliment my 45C soon And i love the color, i was going to get it, but ended up with Black on black… I think my next will be the stainless steel slide ---

The .45 GAP delivers the same ballistics as .45 ACP in a smaller package…easier to conceal, same firepower. Seems like a good idea to me. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-toy/195583.md?page=2)
