Go get it!
Go get it!
I know that go verb like go get it, go buy it ,etc are fine to use. And "and" is omitted like go and get it and I was wondering if I also can say "Go to get it" for the same meaning and we also can say 'go verb' and 'go and verb' and 'go to verb' are always interchangeable for the same meaning?
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual.

"Go and get it" (without the exclamation mark/point) is natural to me, but mainly to a child or employee. It's more of an instruction than a command.
