Thanks in advance.

With REALLY high prices.

Gunsamerica.com is a better source for buying firearms (although still not that good in pricing).

That is a great way to see what kind of quote you can get on many goodies. You can search using the Genie, get a quote using your local shops. VERY good way to get a good deal. It if shows in stock, you can get it. Painless.

I went and did it finally. Ordered my dream 9mm gun. Under 13 ozs and built unlike any gun I have ever shot.

I was close to a Seacamp, but ponied up the extra bucks for this....



Should have it by December something.

Not normally a 9mm fan, but after holding one of these and reading raves like this; I figured you only live once and may only get to defend your life once. This thing is no more cumbersome than a cel phone. My jaw did drop when I saw the pricetag, but that's what year end bonuses are for.

I have nothing against people's choices in guns but, I just have no use for something that small right now.

I agree and also have nothing against people's choice. In fact, I love Glocks, Sigs and even some of the plastic ones.

Problem is, I am 5'8" and living in cargo shorts, they rarely leave the gun vault which is of no use to me. Me carrying a Glock is like a bull in a china shop.

I doubt I'll stop carrying my Airweight wheel gun, but there are times when a small 9mm that works, unlike a Kel Tec, is invaluable for me.

After a year of drooling...I finally picked up my XD9 this weekend! I have been fondling this thing like I am 13 again and home sick...

I went to the range today to make put some holes in paper and just my luck - they are closed due to power outage!!!!!!! Well the upshot is, it gave me a chance to pick up a couple hundred more rounds to help me break it in tomorrow (hopefully!)

I have spent the past year renting and borrowing trying to find what gun felt best to me and kept coming back to the various XDs. I just love this gun and completely understand why it has become such a hot commodity in the stores.

... That is, unless they make a subcompact XDM. God, I hope they do. It's so pretty, and I like the grip a lot better.

Hrm I didn't know this. Looks like I'd best be saving up!

Like me, hate me, call it a daisy, but I picked up my LCP today. I swear I could conceal this in a flip flop on the beach. I swear my crackberry is bigger.

Now where's that .380 ammo???

The gangster's bought it all up ;)

:D

I usually stray away from .380, but it has it's perks for maximum concealment. Nice pickup :tu

The Kel Tec was the biggest piece of junk to ever grace my hands, but there's plenty who will tell you if you dremel the feedramp or send it back to the factory, it will work just fine.

That's a shame. Apparently Kel-Tec finally got the newer pf-9's right, heard good reviews. Would like to support an American company.

Call me crazy, but I feel 110% with my Glock (if I'm crazy, the cops and the FBI must be too. LOL.) :tu

This was my "black friday" pickup. Was thinking about getting the .223 but I ended up with the .308 so I could hunt with it. :D Still deciding on flip-up iron sites or a scope... (it's a Remington R-25) I smoked the mag-50 while playing with my new toy.
