Hay Now! I hide a Glock 19 and Ruger P95DC pretty well myself.

Not sure if thats good or bad.......

With close to 2000 rounds through it I have NEVER had any malfunctions, and im shooting crappy bulk walmart ammo.

P.S. I will be getting the XDSC in OD green next gun show.

Catfish · 11-04-2009, 04:49 AM

Glad your '95DC performed better than my '94DC did. Constant feedjam problems. Not good thing for CCW. Bye Bye Ruger, hello S&W.

Ah.... And then Springfield introduced the XDM........ heaven. In my world, the '99 Monte A of handguns.

So I've been wanting to sell the Benelli 12 gauge 3 1/2 Magnum Duck's Unlimited version shotgun I got last year. Never fired a shot through it. Took it to a local gunshop and they sell them new for $459. Guy offered me $200 for it. Told him it was a no go. Might have to list it on gunbroker or see if my local cop friends want it.

I want an XDM, but I'm too small to be able to conceal one.

... 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.

Not a fan of plastic guns but I have 2 friends with XDMs and have to say they are incredible shooters. Real tack drivers.

Lol then you must punish yourself carrying some solid steel behemoth then.

I'll stick with my Glock .45, I know it'll perform when the stuff hits the fan.

gettysburgfreak · 11-12-2009, 09:17 PM

I cannot wait until we get to mess around with the M4 for a few days. I hated the H & K P2000 at first because of the trigger, I was actually one of the worst shooters in my class as I was slamming the trigger. The instructors have slowly been working with me and today I shot a 345 out of 360 which is classified as Expert Shooter. We qualify for real next Friday, hopefully I can get 350 or so.

After my Kel Tec P11 experience, I'll trust an aluminum airweight frame on a 642 Smith with my life thank you very much.

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.

Please don't compare a Kel-tec to any other reliable gun manufacturer... the only cool thing they make is the AR pistol. I would never trust my life to a Kel-tec. With that said just because it was a "plastic" gun doesn't make all plastic guns bad.

I have over 4k rounds through my Glock. Never had any issues whatsoever. I haven't cleaned my Glock since the day I bought it, why should I it's a Glock!

Seriously I like all metal guns and I even carried a P239 for about a month, but the weight after 14 hours takes a toll on you. I have no doubts the airweights are a dream to carry but I don't shoot revolvers anymore after my accident. It's ignorant but I just don't feel comfortable with them. Not to mention for the same weight your carrying I have 15 rounds compared to your 6.

Actually I do punish myself with a really heavy Sig 229 at times. I also have an airweight wheeler for the pocket.

Not liking plastic guns is different then not buying them...

I'm thinking about a small, thin plastic gun for carry - maybe the new Taurus 709 Slim. Not sure yet, but want something light and thin and reliable (but not too small like the LCP which is way too small for my hands to accurately shoot). Any thoughts?

Keep an eye out for the MSAR Archangel when it comes out. A little bigger than an LCP but a LOT smaller than a PM9. 6+1 rounds of 9mm and rated for +P. What's not to like?

Is that the fold up rifle? If so then yes... I think the idea is great but I think that Magpul's design with the Glock is much better and just a better product.

Nope. It's the bullpup .308.

That's pretty kickass!! Don't know if I would spend $1500+ on it.... Especially when my DPMS SASS was only around $1600.

Pics for those who are wondering what a DPMS SASS is...

Kinda resembles a Seacamp, which I wouldn't mind having.
