XD .45 Color help

I am going in tom and getting the XDm 40 4.5" its a steal for the stuff you get with the gun.

 

how much is it going for?

 

Tactical means black, there is a reason the military and police special OPS use black. Just my opinion, the XD's are nice and you will be happy with the performance regardless. Boys in the hood like shiny guns. They bling in the light.

 

depends im in socal so i cant get the nice clips that are supposed to come with the gun. u could prolly find it on gunbroker for about 550ish give or take.

 

Thats pretty low. i saw an XDm 9mm at Gander Mtn. yesterday for about 700..but i guess Gander jacks up their prices anyway

 

hell yeah they do. and its way better to support your locall store or ffl holder imo. they are more likely to cut you a deal on the gun and give you a discount on all the stuff you buy with it.

 

Bump

 

I've worked in the Firearms industry for a while and the XD is the one I sell to my friends. I may own a few Springfield Armory's (possibly longer and shorter ones) and they make good stuff at a good price, to boot.

My vote: Bi-Tone stainless. And if it's too shiny for your liking, tuff-coat the slide. It won't rust from holster wear and body sweat.

 

bump

 

Seriously? a bump after 20 mins on an off topic discussion?

 

it went off the home page. im just trying to get as many opinions as I can. btw whats tuff-coat?

 

Tuffcote or Tuffcoat is a general name for a type of power-coating, although most don't require a thermal curing, so It's not damaging to heat sensitive components.

The only one I've knowingly seen in person is an Xtremcoat™ AR-15 stainless bull barrel done by http://www.usanodizing.com/services.htm

There are many different companies out there in WWW land. And a good local gun shop (not cabela's, etc...) may be a good lead for a local company.


Edit: Springfield has Armory Kote™ for their 1911's. You could look into their custom shop doing the work.

 

My XD9 is OD/black.

 

no dont go with the .45 go for the .44 mag
jk
id go with a tarus 357 revolver

 

my dad's got a 357 mag.. i think the .44 mag is a little too big for what im going for

 

I have a Bi-Tone XD-9. Fantastic gun. Reliable as an anvil.

 

I voted "get a different gun", cause I'm a Sig man. Love my Sig!!!

Your question depends:

Is this your 1st pistol? Reason I ask is because I could see you getting an OD colored one if you had 2 others laying around. Else, get the traditional black on black.

Stainless is nice as well, but you'll pay for it.

I own two black/black pistols, so...

 

They are magazines not clips

 

get every color then u have one for any occasion

 

I like black.
