Just curious to seem if there were any other gun freaks in here? If so, what do you shoot?
-Springfield XD .45 Service
-Remington 870 Express Super MagnumRe: Any other gun nuts?
Oh nice pieces there! I tried an an XD a few years ago – was a bit big for me.
With a post like that, I’m sure you’re gonna get some responses. I like the feel of a revolver personally. Glock 19’s cool tool
Re: Any other gun nuts?
Well there are several compact and sub-compact XD’s on the market. having moderatley sized hands, i dont really like how most of the compacts/sub-compacts feel. i do however have a soft spot for wheel guns. Im lookin to snatch us a GP 100 snubbie for a back up

Staffords gun safe is the size of my collage dorm and I think Ambrose is a close 2nd
Re: Any other gun nuts?
am i a gun nut? i just got home from my part time job, i work 1 day a week at a gun shop
my carry gun is either a sig p239 9mm or ruger p85 9mm, both in a fobus paddle holster with 2 spare mags for the sig and one for the ruger, both loaded with either 115 grain hydra shocks or 147 grain winchester sub sonic silvertips
my shotguns are a winchester 870 pump 12 guage(mostly i shoot trap) or a imported over/under also in 12 guage
a ruger 10/22 with a weaver 4×40 scope a ramline folding stock flash hider and 3 30 round mags (no mater what else i take out, this one always goes with me)
a ruger mark one/two (a mark one frame and a mark two slide and bolt) with volquartson grip’s,trigger,hammer,and v comp set up for bowling pins (but i’ve never shot pins with it) it was used when i bought it, its a great target gun
and last but not least my baby, my ar its a smith and wesson lower with a 6 position stock, a command arms modular grip, a model 1 sales lower parts kit and a cool “punisher” extended mag release, i’m waiting for next tax time to finish it, it will have a 16 in m4 barrel, flat top,yankee hill quad rail,tromix shark muzzle break/comp,pmag pop up sights,and i’m not sure of what optic, but i have a source that might be able to get me some military acog sights and since i live in a state that allows class 3 i might get a gemtec supressor
my safe aint as big as staffords but then again i dont write for a gun magazine! what a lucky ba$tard

Besides, at any given time I have 15-20 guns that are just transient, waiting to be T&E’d and then sent back to the company. I honestly don’t even know how many guns I have…But I know the ones I use. Guns are like women: have fun with many, settle down with one.

with a retail of less than a nice colt and less than any other piston based ar i’m sold (if i had the cash)
Re: Any other gun nuts?
I played with one, it is a sexy little beast. Here’s the deal though… It’s not a Colt, it does not meet the TDP and it has untested, non milspec technology. If you want a Carbine that you can bet your life on, with Magnetic Particle tested bolts and barrels, then buy a Pony. Pistons are an interesting solution to a non existent problem. PM me if you want more scoop, I don’t want to hijack the thread. Stay safe, and good shooting, brother.
Re: Any other gun nuts?
I am not a gun nut per se. I have an 3 in 9 mM XD subcompact as my only gun. I LOVE THIS GUN. I have medium hands and this gun fits perfectly in them. It doesn’t jam and is easy to conceal (which is actually quite hard in the FL heat when you wear as little as possible). I gifted my old 9mM Taurus to my father.
As a leftie, I HATE guns that don’t have ambidextrous safeties and mag releases thus I settle on the XD. No stupid lever just grip and fire.
Re: Any other gun nuts?
I love my XD. I first tried Glocks, but it just didnt fit right in my hands, and thus wasn’t comfortable shooting. I do however want to get the Glock 21 SF. It is much more comfortable, and is in my beloved .45 ACP
