So, after a few years of gaining experience and technique, I'm thinking I'm ready to "lighten up" my carry piece. I'm leaning heavily toward a single stack .45 acp, specifically the Kahr CW45.
My question is, why was the XDs so hyped when it came out in 2012 (Finally, what the shooting world has been clamoring for, etc)? The Kahr seems to fill the same niche, pretty much same size, and preceded the XDs by several years (at least the P series... the CW came out in, what, 2008?)
Am I missing something? Is there something extraordinarily different about the Springfield that garnered it such enthusiasm?
