Home Forums Thread Like Summary - Springfield XD45 opinions

Recently I ran across what seems to be a great deal on an older Springfield XD45, 4-inch Service model. It's in excellent condition and includes everything in the picture, including two 13-round mags, not the 10-round which appear to be more standard these days. It's a reputable local dealer, and although I am not actively looking for another .45 ACP it's pretty hard to turn this one down for the price (less than $300, OTD). With the Gestapo-like gun laws in our state gun prices tend to run higher than average here.
To those who have actually owned (or at least personally shot) one of these exact models, can you offer your real-world input to someone like myself who is considering one? It will likely be a bedside gun, not a CCW, obviously.

I'm primarily a revolver guy, too, but also have my share of bottom-feeders as well. Friday I'll be picking this one up from the LGS since it's just too reasonable of a price to pass up for a good quality .45 that's in nice condition. Been thinking about it and am pretty sure it'll be my "workin'-around-the-property" gun. A gun that I don't have to worry about getting dirty or even scratching up a little, and in a caliber that is enough to deal with any threats that might be expected in our neck of the woods.
