Anyone have issues with their sub-compact XD's? Right now i'm carrying a Taurus PT145 but it doesn't always offer the best piece of mind when I get a failure to feed when loading it. I have never had a FTF or FTE at the range with it, which is why I still carry it. But my 2 XD services are as smooth a butter, and I'm wondering if I wanna pickup a conceal XD.

 

That's exactly why I got mine. I've heard nothing but great things about these XD's. A friend of mine has two XD's. One service and one sub-compact for concealment. He swears by his XD's. Both of them. UI haven't fired mine yet, but I keep hearing rave reviews.

 

They don't make that in sub-compact. I wanted a small one to conceal. .40 is the biggest they make in sub-compact right now. And it's plenty big for me. I love the 40. It seems a perfect size for me. I like the ballistic better than my .45 for sure.

 

Gottcha. Not a bad choice then.

 

I plan on going to the range tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm curious how it does at 50 yards. I keep hearing peeps say they are shocked at how accurate it is at 50. I'm excited!

 

For me I like the .40 as well. More power than a 9mm, more capacity than a .45 with only slightly decreased performance. The new ammunition out there, such as Federal HST, can have a .40 round expanding to 1", so bullet size isn't as big a deal as it used to be... but the 9mm hasn't quite caught up yet with .357 SIG, .40 S&W, etc.

 

Marlin model 1895G.
Caliber: 45/70 Gov't.
Capacity: 4-shot tubular magazine
Action: Lever action; side ejection; solid top receiver; hammer block safety.
Stock: American black walnut straight-grip stock; cut checkering; ventilated recoil pad; tough Mar-Shield® finish; swivel studs.
Barrel: 18.5" with deep-cut Ballard-type rifling (6 grooves).
Twist Rate 1:20" r.h.
Overall Length: 37"
Weight: 7 lbs.

Also pictured for comparison is my Yugo SKS and Walther P22.

 

Friday I finally added that Ruger 10/22 rifle I've been wanting. I chose the stainless steel one with synthetic stock.

It will be nice having something that doesn't cost a fortune to shoot! Under $20 for 500 to 525 rounds. Quite a few places around here are selling out of some of the popular sizes of ammo.

I hope to head out to the forest later this week for a little "plinking".

 

I have a couple 22 and 38 but want an XDM40 or XD45ACP with 10+1 in Bitone ODGreen/polished. They are next to impossible to find in cali.

 

I went to the range today. Shot expert... 3 times. First time was 39 out of 40. This irritated me so I shot again and missed one again. So I shot one more time and got 40/40. Go me.

Any way, thats not what this is about. After the lower enlisted guys left I rigged my M4 to fire full auto for some fun.

OMFG I HATE NOT BEING ABLE TO EMBED VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

YouTube - Full Auto M4

ghey.

Holy Moses titephit!

Who are you planning on going to war with? You have the guns now you just need the men ha.

 

Glock 19 (9mm) and Winchester 1300 Defender (12 gauge)...

 

Nice collection!

I wish I could own a couple historical ones for recreational shooting, but the Canadian government basically has locked down ownership and makes it way too hard to even try. With the "gun registry" in place now, if they outlaw a gun you happen to have obtained legally, they just stop by the house to take it away from you. I think they give you the approximate value for it though.

lol

 

I live in CA. The firearm laws here are too strict, so I don't own any handguns. Anyways, I like rifles and long-range shooting mostly.


Mossberg 500 12-gauge pump-action


Remington 700P .308 bolt-action

 

Nice Rifle. The stands and scope look very trusty. Cali does suck for gun laws. I feel like I can't buy anything decent here.

 

Thread revival. .460 mag on the left, 7.62 x 39 in middle and .223 on the right.

 

We have our own backyard range,



and theres plenty more. Hog's running through our backyard, they don't get far.

 

^I totally want a backyard range like that.

It's been a long time since I've posted. These are my two 9mm's:

 

And some other goodies - have a matching subcompact XD40 and a riot mossy500 with AR collapsable stock as well
