Random Musings...

I purchased a 5" Tactical Springfield XD .45 just for USPSA competition. I have my first match next month but have been working with the pistol for about six months now. I thought that the extra inch would be a big assist with sights.

Not sure if there is a correlation but my daily carry is a 4" Kimber 1911. I am just as accurate (or more) with my 4" Kimber as I am with the 5" XD. Now to be fair, I have been shooting 1911's for 20+ years and only the striker-fired XD for about 6 months so I am much more comfortable with the 1911 still.

All this to say that I am not sure that it would make a notable difference. Probably would recommend that you stick with the 4" and carry a little more comfortably.

Good luck and enjoy,
Tony
