How much did you pay? XDs are meh tier guns. They go bang reliably enough I suppose. I couldnt get past the trigger though. Others will complain about the grip safety and high bore axis.

The grip safety is kinda annoying. Paid around 500, I forget what it was exactly

>>31015966
Thats pretty high. PSA was selling them for $399. I sold a used one for $300. So long as you enjoy it though.

Picked this up yesterday from Cabela's for $250 out of pocket (someone gave me $200 gift card and all used guns were 10% off that day).

Absolutely love it.

Yikes, that's an expensive holster. Why did they mark up the shitty factory Sig plastic junk holster so much? Don't these come free with P320 pistols?

So buy a first gen xd. Honestly I would trade my original xd9 for a GRIPZONE mod2 in a heartbeat, and cover the GRIPZONE with the rubber talon grip that all my handguns get. They're fantastic shooters.

Got a Glock 19 gen 3 two weeks ago (first gun).

Now I'm craving buying a bolt-action rifle as my next gun, with a wood stock

>>31018841
>Now I'm craving buying a bolt-action rifle as my next gun, with a wood stock

If you're not used to big bolt action rifles, get something in the .223 Remington range to start with.

If you go right to some .300 win mag monster you'll probably develop a flinch, or otherwise regret it.

>>31018894
that's what people keep telling me :^/

I really want a rifle chambered in .30-06, but I should probably rent one at the range first.

But you're right, the smart thing to do would be to start in a smaller caliber

>"LOADED WHEN UP"

I can't stand loaded chamber indicators of any kind for that matter.

When i disabled the one on my ruger Mk.III I went ahead and filed off the "loaded chamber indicator" text using high grit abrasive (400 grit progressing up to 2500).

Felt good man.

Pic is before the alteration but same gun.

Picked up a px4 with my bonus.
Bought it Friday. Took it home, broke it down, Saturday I ran 350 rounds through it , Tuesday I rand another 350 rounds through it. Tonight I ran 300 rounds .


1000rds of 40s&with in a week. No failures.


The recoil is weird. It took me about 300 rounds to get used to it. But now I am getting 3" 17 round groups at 15yds, shooting like I will in matches.

Although for matches I will not be using 180gn full power loads. But .40 lite loads . I am working on a 180 and 165 grain loads that will have a PF of about 128-130. If I can find some I'll try some 200gn low power loads.

I will be shooting this in ipsc production matches.

The LCI on the CZ 75 BD Police that I have is actually great. There's no text, just a pin that sticks out of the top of the slide when there's a round in the chamber. It's immediately visible when you bring the sights up and its also tactile so you can feel it in the dark. As far as I'm concerned, theres no reason not to have one.

>>31021326
There are plenty of reasons why someone wouldn't want one. They are required on handguns in California, which is absurd. If it is a feature you want, cool, but don't promote this nonsense.

>>31021503
Aside from being upset about laws requiring them and concerns about aesthetics, why would you prefer not to have a LCI?

I have the subcompact model. It's my EDC. I love it. I've got some night sights on it, and put in an aftermarket pinky extension. It's SWEET. Nice trigger, and plenty accurate, too. You did good, anon. You did good.

In the case of my ruger mkiii that I posted above, the LCI caused serious feeding issues. With the LCI the gun malfunctioned about 2-4 times per 100 rounds (gun malfs, not counting shitty ammo misfires). With the LCI disabled, it hasn't malfunctioned yet, and I've put 650 rounds through it since then.

The LCI on my Mk. III has never caused any loading issues luckily, but it is particularly intrusive and ugly. Ruger is among the worst with lawyer warnings, I may get one of those metal plugs that removes the LCI entirely. That being said, I still haven't seen any compelling reasons why a well designed, unobtrusive LCI is undesirable on a pistol.

>>31026196
Yeah i think the LCI on those guns is hit or miss in terms of feed issues. Someone on here was saying the 22/45 is more sensitive than the standard model, but i'm not sure.

As for replacing the LCI with the metal plug, that was my backup plan in case I fucked up the sanding on my stock LCI (it's super easy to disable mechanically). After sanding the letters smooth, the LCI insert is a matte color that I think looks good so i'm gonna leave it be.

And I agree that a well designed and unobtrusive LCI can be desirable. I am trying to remember what gun it was, some old turn of the century semi auto pistol i think, that indicated a loaded chamber by lowering an obstruction of the rear sight.

So basically, if you could look down the rear sight clearly, the chamber was loaded. If a small metal post was obstructing your view, you knew the chamber was empty. I kind of liked that idea and I wonder why it never took off.

.40 S&W hadn't really taken off yet, and they wanted .41 AE to take off, so they probably threw in the box of .41 AE and the conversion kit so that more pistols would be on the market chambered for their new cartridge, and included the 9mm conversion so that people wouldn't worry their pistol would be unuseable if .41 AE flopped (see why .41 Remington Mag and .327 Federal Mag sell less) amd so that the end user would be able to practice with cheaper 9mm.

That's funny, I just picked up an XD9 for $400 in Commiefornia. I like the trigger better than anything else I've fired, besides SA hammer fired pistols.
I already had an SD9VE for my wife but she likes the XD more than I do so she's keeping it.
Now I'm trying to trade the SD9 for a Remington 783 in 308

You're likely to get a lot of hate from /k/ because of "MUH GRIP SAFETY" (they dont mind when its on a 1911 though). That said, you bought a decent mid-tier pistol with some decent features. I always thought they looked and felt a little cheap, but you get what you pay for and functionally its as solid a choice as any other modern pistol in its price range.

Mismatched Lee Enfield No. 4, $350 yea/nay?
What should I be aware of?
