Purchased a new pistol today.

[safecracker]

Purchased a new sub compact XDS, 3.3, 9mm today. I have its big brother, XDM, 5.25, 9mm. Can't wait to try it out. Bruce

[Chupaca]

All I see is alfa letters and numbers...🤔 what about a picture...:lecturef_smilie: we need visual proof....

[M109Dreamer]

I almost bought one myself. It was either that or the M&P Shield 9mm. But I got a better deal on the Shield. Congrats on the new pee shooter. I might have to buy one down the road.

XDS is a great pistol. I have the same one in .45. Very concealable when used with a 'in the pants' holster.

I for some reason cant get comfortable with an IWB holster, wish I could. I really wish I could appendix carry but to much gut for that also. I have been looking for a holster to carry my new Shield at the 1530-1600 position. Which holsters do you use for the XDs?

I carry my .45 in a Galco S.O.B. (Small Of the Back) holster...
it's easy to forget that it's there, and almost any shirt with a decent length to it, will cover it completely. :thumbup:

I have been looking at thos as well. Can you move them to one side a little, like say at the 5 oclock? The reason I say that is that I have a torn rotator cuff and reaching to the 6 oclock position isnt possible. But 5 or 4 would be.

I will pull it around to the side a bit... :thumbup:
I put the center rear belt loop on my pants in-between the loops that hold the holster to the belt.
It gives me a couple of inches of adjustment, yet still holds the rig tight up against me!
But I don't see why you couldn't mount it to either side of the center loop.

bajaron the actualy have a white rhino special now its a 3 inch barrel i have not been able to find anyone in indy who sells them

[cuznjohn]

i have been wanting to get another pistol for a long time. but here in new york city, they make it very difficult. now i need to get the ok to sell a pistol, and i also need a purchase order b4 i can buy a new one. i wanted to get the S&W judge, but because it fires 3 different rounds, the city told me NO. then 5 years ago i was ready to buy another pistol, and when i was approved to sell one, and buy another, and i don't remember what one i wanted, my mom had her first stroke. when i asked for a extension on the approval, they only give you 30 days, they said NO again, so i let it expire to take care of mom.

they also made it that if you get approved, you need to go down to 1 police plaza to pick it up, and you have 24 hours after you buy the new gun, to bring it back into the city for inspection. so it is just not worth going through all that bull just to get another one

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I use an IWB for both my Colt Detective Special and my XDS .45 from http://aliengearholsters.com . They really fit differently than other IWB's. The whole gun is covered so none of it digs into your side.

They also make outside holsters.

[mowin]

I carry my .40 shield in a Galko King Tuck in the 5 o'clock position. I've tried IWB appendix, and Im ok as long as I don't sit. :shocked:.

[safecracker]

I will get a picture soon. Springfield has a great special going on right now. $180.00 of free gear. I will be getting 2, standard mags and 2 extended mags. Also I will get a holster and a magazine holder that holds 2 mags. Not sure on a speed loader. I paid $445.00 out the door for it. Bruce

[retread]

I had an XD .40 subcompact, loved that gun. But I have a bad hand, and had a serious problem working the slide, so now a friend of mine has a nice XD.
I also had a Taurus PLY-22, which broke every second magazine. Someone else's problem now.
I recently picked up a .40 Beretta PX-4 Storm compact, and a Ruger SR 22, surprisingly, they are close enough in size that they can share a Sneaky Pete set up for the 22. Heading to the range tomorrow to see how I do with them.
Oh, yeah, I also got a Magnum Colt 22, but it's staying home, it shoots rubber bands for when my grandson gets on my nerves.:doorag:

Just bought 2 new handguns, I sold a Sig P238 to get a Glock G43 cause I was afraid in a panic I'd forget to find the safety. The Glock is a single stack 9mm, I carry it in a waist band holster, which is the most comfortable way to carry for me. The other was a 625 S&W 45 acp revolver, because I want to get back into bowling pin shooting. Gun sales have really dropped off with the new administration, so I'm doing my part to help out.144841144842

Has anyone looked into the Rock Island TCM22? They have a 22/9mm pistol, interchangeable 22 and 9 barrels and recoil springs. From what I've seen, the 22 has a 2000 foot/second muzzle velocity with a 5 inch barrel.

I bought the Commander size one a few years ago. It's really fun to shoot, but being all steel and holding 17 rounds its pretty heavy to carry I didnt opt for the 9mm conversion.

[cptjam]

Impossible to carry concealed. Big and heavy!
I like my FN 5.7. Light, high capacity, shoots great. SOB, you never know I'm carrying. Fires a rifle Bullet.
Another favorite is my Bond Arms Texas Defender. Pocket shotgun. Nothing to conceal - right in the pocket!

Nice.

I want a 5.7 bad, but the cost is keeping me from pulling the trigger. Lol

Looks too big for a CCW. But I imagine SOB would be the best choice.

[Bob Denman]

I've looked at that round: meh... :dontknow:
I've already got a K-Hornet in a 12" Contender barrel, and it's the most accurate CF round that I've ever shot...
For personal defense; something like it wouldn't be my first choice. nojoke
Low velocity, and large diameter bullets: That's what ends fights at close-range.

I agree.. but I'd like the 5.7 as a short to medium range hunting pistol, as well as a side arm.

Liked my contender, but it is strictly a hunting weapon. Had one in 30-30 and 7x30 waters. Definitely more accurate than I am.

Um looking at the P938 for my next pistol. Love the size and 1911 style. Real easy to keep it in the pocket. $$$ is what keeps me from having one already.

The FN 5.7 is on my list. But I want to get the Dillon 650XL reloader before I go to the 5.7, that rounds gets expensive to shoot. But then again, could just carry a AR pistol.

In the last 4 days, I loaded 150 rounds of .30WCF, 100 rounds of .243 Winchester, and 85 rounds of .44 Remington magnum. On to 100 rounds of .40S&W, 100 rounds of .380, and 25 rounds of .357 magnum. Then on to cast a bunch of .44 and .50 lead balls.

I can foresee a lot of fun in the coming weeks.
