So, in regards to the XDs, we are talking about a .45 that is roughly half an inch longer than a CM9, mostly because of a 3.3" barrel vs. the Kahr's 3.0" barrel, weighs 6.0 oz more, and the other dimensions are pretty much the same. Even LESS difference (basically nil) with the current PM45, which would be the exact same dimesnions as a CM45.
So, tell me again why a .45 would have to be huge?
It's personal lowroad. Think of me as Elmer Keith (quite a stretch) and Jocko as Jack O'Connor (equally large stretch). I like 45's, he like 9's.
The XD will no doubt be in the same size category as the PM45 or CM45 if they come out.
I carry a PM45, but I have large ears.
