What gun did you buy today?

[Jarine88]

Good luck, I’m about to buy another safe because I’m out of space. I’ve rearranged it more times then I can count and it’s just that time. Next house I’ll just dedicate a room.

I need a bigger safe, but not sure where to put it. Let’s just say my current one is full and there is an over flow. No kids in the house, so I’m okay for now.

Hope to go shoot it in about an hour. Straight mags are garbage. Follower binds up and rounds lose tension. I coted the inside with smooth-kote, but it didn't seem to help. Curved mag seems promising. If nothing else, I intend to get an aftermarket lower to use scorpion mags, but I want to give the curved mags a chance first.

Straight mags are exactly that, garbage. Gotta love how they send 1 curved, like a damn sample. My buddy also replaced the lower on his for that very reason. Fun gun all in all though.

I picked up this holster worn workhorse today.
It’s a Springfield Tactical XD-40. It’s a Police trade in. Not shot much, but worn outside.
It reminds me of the Gen 2 Glock 22 I used to carry when I was in civilian Law Enforcement.
It has a 5 inch barrel, just like I like ‘em.

I like the looks....but bad press about problems with magazines and FTF failures have left me waiting before I drop the $........

Keep us apprised, please.....

I dig worn guns.

Around 20 years ago my dad picked up an XD in 45 just like that.

I borrowed it to check it out. He had to ask for it back.....

That will be a great shooter.

Not a gun, but it will be soon.

Got in stock notification on some 338 Spectre barrels from SBR.

I've got brass, now a barrel is in the mail.

I'll be looking for reloading dies and building it soon.

That’s what I’m hoping was well!!

I have a buddy who swears by the XD line! So, when I saw this at a great price, I had to snatch it up.

So I didn't get to go shoot Wed, but looking forward to Sunday. Just playing with it, I like it. Just ordered some 2 more curved mags and a steel reinforced one just incase feed lips start breaking. Trigger pull on stock springs is 4.75 lbs avg. Curious to see if the light weight springs will make a difference. Have a detented charging block, buffer, springs, and muzzle brake on the way. It NEEDS the aftermarket bolt release. Stock is terrible a d hard to manipulate. Will probably get the folding charging handle to help facilitate a c clamp grip.

I have high hopes for it.

If the mags work, I don't see a need for an aftermarket lower. Only real benefit would be the ability for a binary trigger, but I hardly go binary with the one I already have.

Just shot 100 rnds of mixed brass, steel, aluminum, 115 and 147 with zero zilch nada a malfunction. Even the 1st gen straight mags worked. Shot cluster groups while standing and hit a few bullseye. The bolt slaming back made the red dot jump around, so I don't know how well a binary trigger would do. Recoil was on par with a 7.62x39 AR, maybe less. So far I would recommend it, but I need more rounds down the pipe before I preach from the heavens.

Traded off my LCR 9MM for a Girsan Regard (the Beretta 92fs clone). Had an itch for a full-size 9mm, and I wasn't using the LCR much.

Pics may follow when I get time.....

You'll need at least another $600.00 for mods.

Ordered an Aero Precision M4 Gen 2 lower and upper and all the other bits, another M4 soon to be born.

Don't even have the gun yet and I've already bought $200 worth of stuff for it.
