I don't know what you're talking about, Bird ... but maybe this is it:

a good buddy of mine just picked up a XD-45. I believe he payed somewhere in the range of $500 for it. Sweet gun. Comes with a lot of trinkets too.
I don't have an XD and likely won't because I don't like it. If you decide to get one, you might try this place http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/
They offer a 5% discount to military. How do you like that Baby Eagle? My wife uses it as her CCW piece.

Ditto ... I came ... I saw ... I bought .... I sold. Twice.
XD's a good entry level pistol and at least as good as a Glock ... I just don't like 'em (XD's) ... so I go with other stuff these days.

IT IS A MAGAZINE!!!
CLIPS are for normally loading INTERNAL magazines.
Stripper Clips (Loading an SKS)
Enbloc Clip (as used in Garand)
Moon Clip (used for rimless ammunition with revolvers)

Thats the question I want to know the answer too as well ... or should I just stick with my Springfield 1911 .. ?

Answer is simplicity in itself. Get both.
The 40 will give you slightly better ammo capacity. And, I know the true believers of 45 ACP will smite me, but there are some things I think 40 is better for.
And, (just asking for another smiting) if by some chance your 1911 breaks, you have another weapon to use your stockpile..
You do have a stockpile, right??!

I bought the XD .45 compact last month. The way I see it, you need to shoot both. The choice has simply got to be which one you are more comfortable and have good accuracy with. Personally, I found the .45 to be managable and shot what I consider well with it. So, I decided to go with the round with greater stopping power. I have the choice of holding either 10+1 or 13+1 depending on which magazine I use. I believe the .40 gives you two more rounds. Hopefully the confrontation is over by the point you need those two extra rounds. If not, you should probably be carrying an extra magazine anyways, or an uzi.

Viva la Reagan Reveloutcion!
I was offered a new XD-40 for around 400 phrog. The ergonomics are awesome on that bad boy, but a lot of people told me they break and misfire after awhile. I'm not the type that wants to doubt my weapon, so i went with the glock 23. The angle from the slide to the pistol grip is a little more (like 50 degrees if I remember correctly) and the XD-40 is a little less bringing sight picture in easier, but it took me no time to get used to the glock. However, if it does break, Springfield has an awesome reputation for customer service.
