Re: Springfield XD .45ACP
I used to carry an SA XDM 9mm (19+1) in a Crossbreed Supertuck. It concealed OK. If you were looking for a gun, you'd have probably seen it, but it wasn't a neon sign. I just sold that and bought an XDM compact 9mm (13+1) (which is actually a tad shorter grip-wise than an XD subcompact, but has a lo...

Re: Worn Leather Hoslter Causes "Accidental" Discharge
I guess we get to add "Glock Butt" to "Glock Leg" now. Ouch. I've got an SA XDM. My gun has a grip safety and a trigger safety. If both aren't depressed then the gun's not going off. A safe technique for holstering my weapon is to put the meaty part of the tip of your thumb again...

Re: Weapon recommendations in my price range
I just (today) sold my XDM 9mm full size (4.5" barrel) 19+1 rounds for $440. I bought an XDM 9mm compact. I was ok with the full size for EDC, but I can tell that I'm going to be even happier with the compact. Watch texasguntrader.com for used guns and you'll probably find a good deal before to...

Re: Carried on lengthy roadtrip...
I also took my gun to FL, but back in Jan. I hadn't gotten my CBST yet, so I had to use the paddle holster that came with the gun. It was ok, but not as nice as the CBST. My trip was to a small town past Pensacola in the pan handle. I've been carrying a full size XDM 9mm (20 rounds of ammo) in a CBS...

Re: Pearland woman robbed, what would you have done?
So, two options seem plausible. Assuming you carry, pull you're gun. Better option, drive away or over attackers. Based on the article, they hit her from behind and then pulled around in front of her, so behind her was probably open. Either car option, over or away, sounds like it would have worked....

Re: Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe
i've been looking into the compact XDm and it comes with an 11-roung mag and a spare 19 round mag - which is more than the 16 rounds that my full-size holds. not sure if my full-size mags will work in the compact but that would be a nice added benefit if they do. i also would be willing to bet that...

Re: Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe
Why get a Glock when you can get either a subcompact XD or one of the new compact XDMs?
Just curious.

Re: pre-CHL/how often do you carry?
Walmart is pretty much the cheapest place to get ammo. Ammunitiontogo.com also has good prices. This will probably help your shooting: http://www.handgunsmag.com/tactics_training/combatg_100306/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Also, always focus on the front sight. If you ca...

Re: Gun cap - ##+1, do you FULLY load your weapon
It's odd to me that so many people seem to think of "one in the pipe" as +1. I guess it makes sense in a way. When guns are advertised as having a capacity of ##+1, that means "a full mag plus one in the chamber". You can have one in the chamber, but not be "+1". I was ...

Re: New member and Tom Estep student!
Plastic in hand! Now to find a cheap-o IWB holster for my XDM until I get my crossbreed in. I got my plastic right after Christmas, but still don't have my Supertuck (I ordered too late). I've been using the paddle holster that came with the XDM. As long as you wear a jacket or a long untucked shir...

Re: New member and Tom Estep student!
I didn't take my CHL with Tom, but I did meet with him to give me some gun basics and let me try a bunch of his guns. Great guy, and great shooter. I found the same thing, I liked the 1911 and Browning High power, but I was most accurate and comfortable with the XD. I ended up getting an XDM9.

Re: Gun cap - ##+1, do you FULLY load your weapon
Well, I'm on a road trip across 4 states tomorrow, and I'm going to be packing 19+1 plus two more mags for a grand total of 58 rounds. I hope I don't need any of them, and I hope I don't find myself thinking "I wish I had more ammo."

Re: Free with gun(XDm) paddle holster better than nothing
he realized that the paddle holster was right handed only.. so being the lefty, right brained person that he is.. He called Springfield. They drop shipped him a left handed paddle holster free of charge :anamatedbanana Gotta love a company that takes care of its customers.. Wow, very cool.
