Re: How about those XDs

The XD 45 compact has a 4" barrel with a reduced grip length. You get 10 +1 capacity where a sub would give you only 6 or 7. The grip length determines how concealable a gun is more than barrel length plus the extra inch of barrel will give you more velocity and a longer sight radius. Short barreled handguns are difficult to shoot due to the short sight radius and increased muzzle blast and flash.

edit:

I compared the dimensions of the XD 45 Compact and the Glock 30. The Glock barrel is about .25" shorter than the XD OAL on the XD is about .66" longer than the Glock the grip height of the Glock is about .33" less than the XD. Looks like a dead heat to me.
