I'm currently also lusting over a 10mm and need to talk myself out of it.

I have xdm 45 5.25 and a mp45 threaded barrel kit.

Both are fantastic pieces, love them equally, if I HAD to choose one, it would be the XDM, justl like how it shoots a tad better, it does have a longer and match grade barrel, and it easier to take down, no sear disconnect crap or tool. However, a coin flip will do, worst feature on both are the triggers, the MP trigger is worse tho, but a DIY polish and sanding/cut will fix that. Haven't looked into doing the XDM trigger. I think the MP grip is FANTASTIC.

Glocks are nice, my buddy has 3, shoot well, but they do not fit my hands like the XDM and MP, and look like crap, MP and XDM have Swag, because that is important!

Who has far too much .223 and, wants to part with a few hundred rounds? Only ammo I can find is 1.00 @ per round...it will collect dust at those prices. Tried the Walmart ammo trick, my buddy had used it, but they blew me off.

I have over 1k rounds of ADI SS109 I'd be willing to part with at a reasonable price.

Who likes a quality rifle for 10 dollars? Well a charity that is very near and dear to my heart that focuses on fighting veteran homelessness, suicide, and unemployment is holding a giveaway for a frankenstein rifle. 10 bucks per entry, and it goes to a good cause. Just check it out at Decendants of Sparta Giveaway Rifle | Monderno

Thank you guys. This isn't a huge charity, it is very small still and very grassroots, but with veteran suicide so high, I constantly worry about my veteran brothers. for the price of a pack of smokes, you can possibly win this nice lookin rifle.

Thanks for putting up with this plug.

New XDs is inbound

Joepro, I'm researching how to ship ammo and hoping to have a quote to you shortly.

My father just got an XDs, and I intend to get one eventually now that my XDm will be in my hands soon enough. That one will be legal regardless of new legislation, so I can drag my feet on it.

Joepro · 03-18-2013, 06:21 PM

No prob, thanks! XDs is a sweet little bundle of terror!

yeah, I freaking loved shooting it.

Now I'm debating dumping my XDsC for another full frame .45, either a G21 or an XDm .45....oh, decisions, decisions.

You mean, XD Compact? There isn't an XDs "Compact", I believe - just an XD one...no?

Yeah, on the 4.5's. I'm really only interested in the comp model. I'd like the extra sight radius if I'm going with a big gun.

XDsc=XD subcompact. Kinda confusing.

Progress!

Senate gun bill won't include assault weapons ban

If anyone is interested, I have made a spreadsheet that shows distance to target given height of object and milliradians. Set up as a table with object heights across the top, mils on the side, and distances in the middle. Excel5 format (should import into most spreadsheet programs, including OpenOffice). You can download here. Feel free to make suggestions/comments.
