I need some...:icon17:

9mm
.40
.223
12 guage shotgun

:facepalm:

I don't have any in those rifle and handgun calibers. However, you can get 12ga easily as there is no shortage for them.

So this is what I do on my days off when I'm bored :tup:

Darren, that looked like a lot of fun. The true Mosin fans as you said will cringe, but its your gun and I liked it. Besides, its a Mosin made for LCBs (little commie bastards). :bowrofl:

Commies LMAO....

Yep, there's some fan boys out there screaming at their screens right now.

Thanks anyways Jon.

Darren, you and your guns.. hahaa, very nice sir.

'MERIKA... :usa:

Great deal this weekend only on an AR-15 from Palmetto State Armory if anyone has been waiting for the prices to come down! This one is $200.00 off this weekend and comes with an Aimpoint PRO for $999.99

PSA 16" M4 Premium Patrol Carbine Package

Just happened to be a person in line with a Concealed Carry Permit.

Only in Georgia man, come on fellas $180 for shoes? Get your priorities together... damn.. :facepalm::facepalm:

When are we gonna figure it out?

99 days. Finally.

Why did you have to wait 99 days?

Because Maryland requires you to have a background check done before the purchase of an "assault" rifle or pistol, or anything else that is semi-automatic.

There's such a huge backlog, the wait was 99 days.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!

All I need to do is walk in fill out paperwork show my CC permit pay and walk out.
And if it is a person to person transaction then pay the person and that's it.

Yeah, no person-to-person stuff here, sadly. Any transfers need to go through an FFL. I COULD go to Virginia and buy one person-to-person and simply bring it back, but it's not legal to do inside of MD I believe.

Congrats mate.:tiphat:

Thanks man, I'm pumped!

Not legal in VA, either. Private sales can only be conducted between VA residents.

Ahhh, ok. I just do it the way I know is legal, anyway.

It's about time! Do you have ammo for it already? That seems to be an issue these says also. Well, now that its in your hands, I bet it was worth waiting for. Nice pistol.

Have had ammo for it since March lol

99 Days!!!!!
That sucks!!!!
:shakes head:

Moving on...

Nice gun! :tup:
If it is a 45 then I got one too.
I love mine.
It is eventually going to be converted into 460 Rowland.
Most likely that will happen next year. :excited:

I also have the XDM's hot little sister the XDS. :icon17:
An original XDS in .45 ACP not the new 9mm version. :icon23:
Great gun!
The recoil was less than I expected considering the size.
However it is an very un-forgiving pistol.
If ya mis-handle her, she lets you know!:roflpuke2:
What I mean is that if you don't have a proper, firm, "manly" grip she won't cycle all the way.
Fails to go into battery.
I personally have had no cycling issue when I shoot her but other people have (my pistol specifically).
Usually the cause is them using a "Holly Wood" grip and/or limp wristing it.
Once I correct their grip the issue usually goes away.


Enjoy your purchase Bobo!
You certainly waited long enough for it.

That "limp wrist" FTF problem is shown in this video:

Nice video Jon.

Yes'm, it's the 45 4.5". I loved shooting it last time, and I'm sure I'll love having my own!

I intend to get an XDS 45 at some point - my father has one, and it'll make a great CC weapon whenever that comes around...

I saw the video of the woman who got an XDS, and it wasnt cycling properly. Hubby held it instead, fired perfect every time...

I like Tim's aka Mac's videos. He comes off as very knowledgeable yet not so full of himself as some gun reviewers are on Youtube. Plus he always has some nice gear that makes you want to go out and buy it.

Glad to see you didn't join the 100 day club. I'll be interested to see how long it takes my AR to get out of purgatory.

Kinda like Darren... aka Trooper.:tup:

99 was close enough to 100 for me :|

Just for the record this is what I meant by "Hollywood" Grip or aka gripping the pistol low.

Saw that vid too.
Same story but reverse for me.
Works perfect for me.
Others have issues.


I have a Crimson Trace laser on mine and with a pocket holster it looks like a wallet in my front pocket.

I can't watch the video (internet sucks where I am at currently) so I don't know if this was covered in the video so.....

I wouldn't classify what my XDS does as an Failure to Feed (FTF). What happens with my XDS when some people shoot it is the slide doesn't go all the way back into battery (failure to go into battery). It is out of battery just enough to keep it from firing. (Thankfully! An out of battery discharge would suck!) To correct it only requires smacking the rear of the slide to push it the rest of the way forward. So far the cause is always due to poor grip technique. Once the poor grip technique is corrected the issue goes away. Now with some people proper grip technique is not enough like the lady in the video that Bobo was talking about. Some one with small/petite hands might have issues with the XDS (in .45 ACP). I have large/strong hands and have no issues with shooting pistols with high recoil.

The point I would like to make is if you are in the market for a XDS (in .45 ACP) I would highly suggest trying it out before getting one.

Just for review purposes....
So far I have had no cycling issues with my XDS no matter what ammo I use including +P ammo. (when I'm shooting it :icon17:)

Yep, you are spot on. Mac shows how by using a "limp wrist" technique how you can induce the Glock 9mm to fail to go into battery. He actually has to try very hard to induce it because he naturally fires with a firm grip. He brings up a good point in that when you are purchasing a handgun to know what you want it for. If for just target shooting then not necessarily an issue unless you can't correct your firing technique or if you are a petite female and just can't get the grip necessary. However, if purchasing for home defense or concealed carry and you are injured, that should make you pause in deciding which gun to purchase. That all goes back to your sound recommendation to fire the gun first before purchasing in order to make sure.

Magpul, just awesome!

Gun Manufacturer’s Big Act of Defiance Ahead of New Magazine Ban in Colorado | TheBlaze.com

Fun video of Jerry Miculek trying out the IWI US Tavor SAR for the first time. He's also using the new 40 round mag from Magpul.

Thats a bad way to hold a pistol... :shakes head:

If there's another thread for this, please let me know, but anybody have any good suggestions for a daily carry in Va?
The only real requirement I have is I want a physical safety.
It can be a compact or a sub-compact.
Oh, and I shoot 40's.
Comments?

Glock G27?

http://www.flashfirearms.com/gunsite...40-fixed-b.jpg

Good gun, reliable, sub-compact; but no physical safety.
I'd be scared to carry it chambered w/o the safety.
But good start - thanks.

You could always wait for the XDS .40? It's almost guaranteed to come out...or step up to the XDS .45? lol

Actually, just did some searching - apparently, the XDS .40 should be out around August.

Or, of course, the already-out XDm Compact .40.
