I am looking to soon purchase my first pistol, with the express purpose of self-defense, open carry.
After extensive research, I have come to the conclusion that I will be carrying a Springfield Armory XD .45
The only remaining question is the size of the pistol. As I have no intention of Conceal Carry, or will do so only in limited circumstance, I am leaning toward the 5-inch model.
Any thoughts or experiences with this handgun? On the occasion that I do CC, any problems with doing so? Comfort, etc?
I am 6'2", 220 pounds, medium - heavy build.
Any input or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
