They weren't much more than that yesterday new, at AA.


Yeah, I could have probably paid less for brand new, however there's the extra ammo... .45ACP JHP is around $1.00 a round, so there's $20 right there, plus the extra IWB holster, plus the 7-round mag, plus no FFL fee, plus no taxes, no 4473 paperwork, it's worth it to have one like that.

XDM45 you did fine. Enjoy your gun and let us know what you think after you shoot it.

I have plenty of .45 and don't need a holster so I'm going as cheap as possible if I like it when I shoot one at Bill's today.

Cool man. I hope you get one. I'm sure I'll like it. I'll get to the range in a few weeks when it warms up.

I thought SS made it clear with his shoe comment. I like your avatar, that's cute.
XDM45 no harm no foul. I just like to shoot like everyone here and have a special place in my heart for Glocks and 1911's.

Thank goodness a few don't like them or that one wouldn't have been on Larry's shelf the other day.

XDM45, I rented the XDs. It shot pretty well, the recoil was manageable, but it is snappy.
I'm not feeling a whole lot of love for the trigger and the rental gun had a failure to feed in every magazine.
That is probably the magazine and it probably needs cleaning.

Let us know what you think after you shoot yours.

I love my XDs! FTF's can come from not being used to shooting it. My wife can shoot mine better than I can. I used to carry a XD sc 9mm. This thing is a dream to carry. I can recommend the rubberized talon grips for it.
