I checked the PPS out at the gun shop over the weekend. It is very thin, almost awkwardly so. It's a very nice piece, though.

You mean like this?

Ben, the link is dead but I think I have an idea of what you're talking about.

I just think it's hilarious looking at some of the tactical setups on Shotgun world. Guys with $500+ optics on a $350 scatter gun.

Right now I'm trying to decide if I like the look of the M4 style stocks on a shotgun. I like them mainly for ease in adjustment for different shooters. It's either the Knoxx Spec-Ops stock or the Hogue 12" LOP stock. I feel like the stock stock is too long for defensive shooting.

I think this looks sick:

Totally unnecessary, but still sick.

They laugh to cover the jealously.

Well I did order a Tacstar 6-shell side saddle for it last night. I figure I'll go ahead and order one of the pistol grip folding stocks tonight.

as long as you don't put neons on you should be alright!

XDs are sweet and have a fantastic reputation. I was set on getting the XD9SC before I bought my G26. I rented one at the range and didn't quite like the way it felt shooting. The Glock pointed better in my hand. But the XD is still an awesome gun. I'd go check one out if I were you.
