Damn! Now I have a Dilemma...

A couple of work buddies got XDs .45's when they first came out. They aren't a lot of fun to shoot - I don't care for the trigger and the recoil is uncomfortable if you are shooting a lot. That said, I've been pondering getting one and adding a Powder River Precision trigger job. I put one of their match kits on my XDm 9mm and love it.

For a small 1911 - you should really take a look at the Rock Island 3.5". I have one that's my daily carry. I paid $400 for mine a little over a year ago, and love it. It's accurate, easy to conceal, and has a great trigger. There's nothing I'd change other than softening some of the edges.
