I picked up an XD 45 ACP tonight
I was in my local gun shop this afternoon and the owner had a barely and I mean barely used XD 45 ACP for $439 with all of the original unused accessories, case and three 13 round magazines. It is easily 9.5/10 with no cosmetic flaws or signs of use on the exterior. I will post up target results after I pick it up in a few days and have a chance to shoot it. [:D]

The "after I pick it up in a few days" is hard to understand here in SC. That's got to suck the big one. 0 -

"HS2000 pistol has been developed by Croatian IM Metal company for Croatian army during late 1990s. Production of the 9mm HS2000 started in 1999, with the first pistols being delivered to the Croatian army the same year. In 2000 these pistols first appeared in the USA, initially imported under their original name. However, in late 2001 the Springfield Armory Company of Genseo, Illinois, became the sole importer of HS2000 pistols in USA. Springfield offers a slightly improved version of HS2000 as the Springfield XD (eXtreme Duty pistol), and by now these pistols (still made in Croatia) are available in a variety of sizes, calibers and finishes.
After several years of aggressive sales, these pistols gained good reputation and serious following among American shooters, and by now several police departments in USA either issue these pistols on regular basis or approve them for personal purchase by police officers."0 -
