So the luckiest pig in the world ran off to buy lottery tickets and my hunting buddy and I were looking for (and not finding) and signs that we hit the SOB. I would have settle for signs of droppings. I least I could say I scared the crap out of him. No luck though.
All of a sudden, Bugsy jackrabbit stirs and runs to a scrub cedar, convinced he's hidden from site.
One of the goals for the weekend was to take the bucket 'o pig guts to the spoil pile and set up a game camera to see what was feasting and when. Think 'yotes ...
No guts? Bugsy, yer mine.
So I unholster my XDm45 with the 5.25" barrell and tritium sites, rack a round of Hornaday 185g FTX and let go of a round.
The trigger was smooth as glass as I tugged. It could easily sense when I hit "the wall" and knew exactly when loud noises would occur.
The sites had this bright glow on the rears, but I did have a small issue seeing the front site. Not sure what the issue was, but need to investigate further.
Recoil was seemingly non-existant. The balance and weight reduction on the fore-end of the slide made for a steady aim and a quick reaquire of the target.
Again, overall, very impressed with the gun.
Epilogue:
Buddy (while laughing uncontrollably)
You went rabbit hunting with a 45?
Me (also laughing)
Better than a rock .... or a 308, obviously.
