They have updated the weight to 21.5oz. I'm real sure this will be my next purchase

Look closer at the specs, this gun is considerably smaller than an Officer-size 1911 even smaller than a Springfield EMP and as small or smaller than a Kahr PM45. It's about size of a Walther PPS. This gun could easily be carried as BUG in an ankle holster and possibly even pocket carried in the right scenario.healedknee wrote:Not to bash a new gun (after all, any new gun is usually a good thing...that diversity thing) but officer sized M1911s already offer a slim, very concealable .45 (or .40. 38 Super and 9mm) with 7+1 capacity (or 8+1 in 9mm). That aside, the new XD is a nice looking gun and I am sure that it will be popular based on how much value the XD line brings (yes, I have an XD in the vault).
