Functionality:
Well, here is my range report. It ran flawless on reloads that I taper crimped I had some cambering problems with some reloads that I was crimping and seating at the same time, but this is the same problem I had with my 1911. I need to add that I have also just recently acquired a Dillon 550b and was using a seating/crimping die and just got a separate seating die for it. So in 300 rounds I had 11 that would not camber fully. Those were all in the first 50 rounds and all all that were seated then crimped ran flawlessly. So as far as functionality, it runs great. The clips are very easy to load, even without the speed loader. The slide in almost on their own. The slide locked open after the last round every time. So other then my errors in reloading :banghead: I say A+ in functionality.
Accuracy:
It dead on out of the box POA sight picture ot of the box at 10 yards on a bench rest. I am by far from an expert shot and got a 2.5" 5 shot group at 10 yards with my reloads. My friend who is a much better shot then I got a 1.5" group at 10yds 5 shots. I was all over the place at 25yds but at that point was just having fun because it was getting late. So it isn't as accurate as my 1911, but that is keeping in mind I am have much more experience with my 1911. I still wouldn't hesitate to carry it for defensive purposes. No grade for accuracy from me, being that I am not an expert shot.
Other things to consider:
Compared to my 1911, and my Friends Sig 220 it dose have quite a bit more kick. This I am sure due to it being lighter and unported. Its grip size compared to a XD 40 is unnoticeable to me. I am 6'7" and can almost touch the tips of my fingers to my palm on around both grips. I think I will be getting a Hogue grip sleeve for it though. After about 200 rounds the hard plastic was getting to be a bit uncomfortable and the kick added to that, again a big difference from my 1911 that has rubber grips. It is lighter and slightly smaller then a Sig 220, and a fair amount smaller and lighter than my 1911. The belt holster that came with it is nice but I don't care for how it slightly flops on my belt. I will most likely be getting a paddle holster for it and I think it is by no means to large for concealed carry unless maybe you are of small stature.
Over all I really like it, I don't regret the purchase at all. For pure range shooting not the best choice. If your adverse to kick and want to get accurate double taps I am betting this has to much kick for that. For self defense I think it will be great. Who needs a double tap in self defense with a .45 anyway
Oh and I paid $546 otd for the package. May have spent to much but I wanted it BAAAAAD.
Feel free to ask any other questions, and I will give another update on any problems with reloads on my next range trip.
. He tells me he wouldn't kid me on this. The craziest thing is that the shop that had it had the least variety and stock of any shop for at least a hundred miles and was the only one to get one in. So anyway, now I am the proud owner of a new XD .45 ACP, and I AM SO DANGED HAPPY WOOHOO
