[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 721989, member: 7900"] [FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]While my experience with handguns is limited in comparison to many on these forums, I do own two .40 and am a new owner of .45. My .40's are a Glock 23C (compensated barrel) and an XD compact. The .45 is NOT a compact. It is the .45 with 4" barrel, service model. I tell you all that for this reason: With the .45, I get a closer grouping of my shots than I do with either of the .40's. The shot group with the XD 40 is closer than the shot group of the Glock 23C. Now, I am aware that the 4" barrel on the .45 will have a factor on its accuracy, but at the same time, prior to firing the XD 45, I had only fired roughly 20 rounds with a .45. I also have to agree that I think the .40's have a "snappier" recoil than the .45, but that may simply be the extra weight of the .45.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
