XD-S in .45 ACP. I like knowing I have the knockdown power of a .45 with the compact size. With the extended mag it fits great but even witht teh standard flush its not bad. People bitch their pinky hangs off the bottom and this is why you go to the range and get familiar with your weapons and try different grips on the pistol

knockdown power
quote:
Ever since Dirty Harry came along with his .44 Magnum hand-cannon, when someone gets shot in the movies or on TV (and don’t forget video games) two things happen: 1) the victim is thrown back convulsively, through windows, off balconies, etc. and 2) there will immediately emerge a geyser of blood spewing forth from the wound, leaving no doubt that this person has been shot, and pinpointing exactly where the bullet has struck.
quote:
A bullet simply cannot knock a man down. If it had the energy to do so, then equal energy would be applied against the shooter and he too would be knocked down. This is simple physics, and has been known for hundreds of years. The amount of energy deposited in the body by a bullet is approximately equivalent to being hit with a baseball. Tissue damage is the only physical link to incapacitation within the desired time frame, i.e., instantaneously.
so, should we start the 9mm vs .45 debate again...
quote:
the “stopping power” of a 9mm bullet at muzzle velocity is equal to a one-pound weight being dropped from the height of six feet. A .45 ACP (45 auto) bullet impact would equal that same object dropped from 11.4 feet.

buy a compact pistol instead of a subcompact. Who wants to go to the range and shoot a gun that makes you look like you're sipping tea when you hold it?
