With summer approaching, I need to start looking for a lighter, smaller carry piece. The XD Mod 2 has my interest and it looks like just the right firearm for me.
I'm contemplating the 3.3" XD Mod 2 in a .45 ACP but have never shot such a short barreled beast. All my .45 time has been spent with full size 1911's. So, I have questions.
1. If you have a 1911 and an XD Mod 2, how's the recoil?
2. It looks like the rear sight is adjustable. Have any of you XD Mod 2 owners adjusted it for windage?
3. How's the grip with the 9 round magazine? Any problems with it being too short?
4. Lastly, (honest!!!) how's the grip with the extended magazine?
I'd also, if you have the time, hear about your general impressions of the weapon such as using it for a carry piece, accuracy, ease of cleaning, etc...
My thanks in advance. I appreciate any input you can provide.
