I'm hunting for a high capacity long slide .40 S&W semi-auto.
Shot my son's XD .45 tactical (5") barrel, with 13+1 capacity, and I liked pretty much everything about it. So I was a little disappointed at the gun store today to learn the XD .40 only holds 12+1.
Then I started ogling the XD(M) .40 and found it goes 16+1. Now we're talking! Sometimes more is just... more. I dig all the M upgrades, too, so that's my next pistol.
Problem is they only had the 3.8" barrel there, and I prefer a longer sight radius. Poor guy behind the counter looked and looked online and couldn't tell me what other lengths exist for the XDM. Springfield's website has sexy gun pictures, but some of their pages are loading up wrong and I'm not seeing any useful data on the XDM .40 there.
Just digging around elsewhere, I'm seeing they make the XDM .40 in 3.8" and 4.5" barrels. Any such thing as a 5-inch "tactical" barrel in this caliber or is 4.5" the longest?
Also, while I'm asking people in-the-know, where will I get the best price within a 50-mile circle around Portland?
Thanks in advance!
