I was at the range with a friend last weekend. He recently purchased a Springfield 1911 compact 45, I'm not sure of the model. It was a nice weapon but a little hard to hold on to.
The plastic box it came in had a piece of red tape on it theat said, "not legal in California". What's up with that? Got to be clip capacity right? His clip was a 5 plus 1.

I definitely won't talk you out of it. I bought an XD 9mm full size in November and love it. My buddy shoots the XD 40 and loves that too. Luckily for me Springfield was running a promotion at the time and they gave me 3 free mags

I have the xdm 3.8 compact .40 and I love it. What's making you go with the xd over the xdm?

I would imagine the standard size being a little bulky.
The main thing I didn't like about my XD service model as a cc gun was the bulkiness/thickness of the frame. The compact version will still be as thick in the frame/grip as the full size version, albeit 0.5" shorter in grip length. OTOH, there are a lot of folks that aren't trouble by this and cc the XD; maybe that'll be you!

UPDATE:
Just got home and emptied a mag in the backyard before the sun went down. Ended up going with the XDM .40 compact and couldn't be happier.

WWB (winchester white box) ammo can sometimes fail to feed (ftf ). If it happens swap for some Remington. No problems. Love my. 45

Just bought a box of 100...
Guess I'll find out soon enough. Thanks for the heads up.
