Wanted to do an AR build this summer, but that plan is shot. Here are my girls:

how do you like the XDm?

Joepro · 02-07-2013, 10:56 PM

fantastic gun, its the 5.25 comp, I am by no means a good shot, but with that gun, I am better. Just got the 1911 recently, hasn't even been run yet

Update: Loving the Kyle Defoor sights on my G19, and the MGW sight-pusher is a must-have if you install sights on Glocks. I love it. Free to my friends, $5-10 if I don't know you. I'm going to re-coup the cost and a lot of people will get a great deal.

Here is how they look, photo taken from normal distance of eyes-to-sights:

Very rapid to pick up with the gap between the FS and the notch, and very precise when needed. I love them.

I've been lusting after one and hesitant to pull the trigger. I sold my XD service and still have an XD subcompact--torn as to whether to go larger with a 5.25 XDm or smaller with the XDs....decisions decisions.

I won't presume to speak for him, but I sold my Springfield 1911 for a cheaper RIA that I am much happier with.

I had a SA Range Officer. Awesome freaking gun. Very accurate. For the price ($700ish new) you couldn't do better for a range gun imo.

I agree when that qualifier is tacked on.

The SA RO kills anything in it's price range for accuracy, not to mention the sights are 9000x better than the RIA (which is not saying much)

My only beef with the gun is it didn't always make a noise when I told it to. This obviously isn't a problem for range use, but unacceptable for me. I generally stay away from Springfield for 1911s, as I don't trust their modified design, which says something because I'm a huge SA fanboy.

Just stumbled on an in-stock DDM4V7 lightweight at pre-craziness prices.

Paid for it, and needing to change my state of residence before I can pick it up.

Love skeet, trap and exploding groundhogs....bombs in the lake and marlin fishing cool too! No haters please, I just like to blow s**t up!

If only you had a really awesome friend that would get you some PMAGs at his pre-craziness cost.

Colorado Capitol Watch

Technically they comply already, but they have stated that they are indeed going to move if the bill passes. Already back-ordered, a move would throw PMAG price/availability issues into the stratosphere.

It would indeed.
