It's significantly lighter, a lot thinner, and easier to conceal. Yet, compared to your 1911 it will seem short and fat.įor everyday carry I use a XDs 9mm. However, if you are used to carrying a full-sized 1911 with 8 or 9 rds., then you will find the XD refreshingly light. 45 ACP it's a little heavy and a little fat to carry all day every day. I bought it to be my primary CC gun, but for me, even with only 9 rds. 45 ACP is the gun I carry second most often, usually 2-3 days per week. Despite the obnoxious lettering, the GRIP ZONE works! The gun does look a little odd with the extended mag because the grip looks longer than the slide. The grip with the extended mag has more than enough room for a solid 2-handed grip. If I adjust my holster to a slightly forward cant, then the Pearce grip extension does not affect conceal-ability.Ĥ. This is not a major problem, AND a Pearce grip extension completely solves the issue for me. mag a little bit too short because it forces me to curl my smallest finger under the mag. For that kind of shooting my gun was plenty accurate out of the box.ģ. For what I use the gun for an 8 is as good as a 10. The only shooting I do with it is center mass, "combat accurate" type shots.
