I can't say I am into XD's, but I love Hickock45 and skimming through this video proved worthy.

 

From 3:20-3:40 is friggin awesome! I have seen two .45 rounds in real life at two matches coming out of the barrel when the light and position was right, but never like that. That is really really cool! Out of the muzzle, a factory 230gr .45 is at something like 800fps I think..roughly..I wonder what the fps is when it reaches 100yds.

I love my XDM 45 and if the 3.8 compact is anything like it it will definitely be on my list of new toys wanted for christmas !!!!!

I cant believe the accuracy Hickock45 had with that little gun, especially not having to hold high at the gong, sights were dead on. That was impressive shooting and am sure it can be partly attributed to how well the gun is built.

I wonder what the fps is when it reaches 100yds.

 

 

Andres - The very first handgun metallic silhouette match held in the east (MA in 1977), was won by an army guy shooting an AMU accurized 1911A1. At the 200 yard rams you would hear the gun fire, watch the rainbow trajectory of the 230 ball, and then hear the clang when it hit, and what seemed like seconds later, watch the ram slowly tumble over. Each of those events were totally separate: Bang / Bullet Arc / Clang / Target down. It was amazing to watch. I think he said he went 60 clicks of elevation on the rear sight (King Gun Sight) from 50 yards to 200 yards.

 

Adios,

I got to stop watching his videos or I will never have anything left in the bank. Any price yet?

Handled one today. Feels great. Size is real good. Like the mag extension that can make it feel like a larger frame. So I put it on hold for myself.
