I used to own a Wilson Sentinel. I really like Wilson pistols, but for my money I'd rather buy a Nighthawk. I had a T3 as well as a GRP and loved them. But that Tactical Supergrade is pretty darn nice.

Really? I keep hearing that Wilson trumps nighthawk. I was originally looking at the T3 but was persuaded to look twords Wilson instead.

Also G21sf is now at the GunSmith. Hopefully the new springs and trigger will make the feel of the glock better.

Why didn't you do the install yourself? Polymers are cake to work on. Did my own trigger job on the .45 XDM. Took FOREVER, buuut, it was worth it. And now I know everything there is to know about triggers. lol!

About Wilsons... Awesome stuff. Nighthawk is up there but I think Wilson has better customer service and their designs are just tip-top in fit and finish. Show me a 1911 that sells for the same money that looks better.

Christensen Arms 1911s are right up there with the likes of Wilson. I could probably say both are equally on par with each other. In the end, what do you want to pay for 1911 and what is the goal? Looks? Reliability? Customer Service? A $4k 1911 better have some good support behind it.

Something had to be shaved and what not... eh. I rather not mess with shaving anything lol.

Thanks for the tip on Christensen Arms, I'll look into them.

Reliability is my number 1 goal, looks come second. I'm getting back into private protection so its gonna be under my coat but I still want it to look pretty lol.

Default My First Pistol - Springfield XDm .40 3.8"

I have been thinking about making a gun purchase recently, talking to friends who are into guns and doing research online about which model is best for me. Years ago, the XD .40 was one of the first pistols I ever shot. Last week a friend suggested I look at the newer XDm .40 variants. I ended up deciding to purchase one today from Palmetto Upstate Armory. I also pre-paid for a CWP class that they will start holding early next month. I'm going to make this thread a journal of sorts to record my thoughts and experiences as a first time gun owner.

Here's a few pics I took of it...









Thoughts? Suggestions for mods? Tips for good places to buy mags and ammo? Post below!

First things first, congrats. I believe that, even though that is the "compact", its not double-stack, right?

I have the 4.5" XDm .45, and I'm very pleased with it. That said, in the MAZOC firearms thread, some have been complaining about their SA pistols as of late (they just did a big recall on the XDs .45/9mm line).

IMHO, they are an incredible bang for the buck (no pun intended), and generally get very favorable reviews.

I know Jon pushes ammoseek.com for ammo, and you can also use slickguns.com for good deals on ammo/mags.

Sweet! Thanks! Yeah, it's double stack (look at the mags )

Edit: A quick look at both websites shows ammo about the same price for the smaller quantities ($16ish for 50 rounds of .40).

Oops, I mistyped. I meant to say that, even though it is compact, it IS double stack...

Congrats on the new gun, Pat.

I've been lurking and looking for something, anything that catches my eye. So far, I'm more concerned about paying for Z mods and athletic fees for my boys than getting another gun.

I'm thinking about adding another AR to the collection. Thinking about doing a BCM or DD build with a RISII. Then a magnified optic, maybe an ACOG.

I'm still loving the current DD:



I'm also Glock shopping to have something while my XD and XDs are out of commission. It's a pain in the butt following the stupid 15 rd magazines round limits and trying to find something decent. Wish I had realized the XD/XDm striker issues before this ban went in place...

A buddy of mine liked my photos of my XDm a lot and asked me to take pics of a couple of his guns. Here's what I got...

Welcome to the owner's club. There's a good chance you'll now spend a lot on that 1911 making it awesome, and then buy several more. They seem to multiply. Not as fast as Glocks. Buying a Glock is like getting a Mogwai wet. You buy one, and then one day you realize somehow you own five.
