2nd range trip with new XD

[Dont Tread on Me]

^^ I live by this same program

When I moved to CA I thought you had to buy a handgun every 30 days:-)

tundraman - Thanks for the info on the slide finish. I'll have to take another look at the XD. I also liked the grip saftey.

Reply: My philosophy is simple. I never tell my wife anything she doesn't want to hear. She doesn't want to hear I'm an official member of the "Gun a month club" and booked until July 2007 with 1 gun per month purchases. So, I don't tell her. I get a new gun, I put it in the safe and place the box in came in up in the rafters of the garage. No big " Hey honey, check this new gun out" or anything like that. Just buy your guns and put them away. Never tell your wife anything she doesn't want to hear.

Sorry to hijack - kinda
Yeah, I'm all up on this, but I've run out of room for longguns - and so many more to buy. (Yeah, I know get a bigger safe, where to hide that?!)
I've got boxes of kits up there in the rafters wanting to be built into rifles, where will I put them? A new .50 upper will be coming this year and my FAL build from Rich. I think that one I'll call a new case since that how he ships them, or if she sees it - I'll say I sent it out for refinishing. What to do with the 1919 I want, I don't know. I'll get a crate case and won't be able to put that in the rafters.
As far as handguns, I've got room for a few more, maybe a XD will be one of them!

The reason most people shot low and left with an Xd is
Finger placement. Try using the first pad of your trigger
Finger. Enough so that there is about a pens worth of
Space between your finger and the frame.YMMV
I shot my Xd 40 exactly as you have described when I
first got it a couple years ago.After posting this on xdtalk
A couple forum members gave me this same tip.It worked
For me.

Thank you! I'll do just that. Oh, the ten ring's gonna ger it now... Thanks!

Didn't Dr. Phil say this very thing?

Fortunately though, my wife is a shooter and loves the 1911 (She has basically taken possession of my Baer TRS, and shoots it well). Luckily, she has never said "No" when it came to a new gun purchase, just doesn't get why I have to have so many. I always liken it to her numerous diamond rings, bracelets, necklaces............
