    I've read that the Springfield XD line is outselling the Glocks now. Wouldn't surprise me. To me holding a Glock feels like holding a 2X4 where the XDs seem to just fit perfectly in the hand.

    Feel comfortable in This
    If you shoot somebody with a 45
    If you hit them in the shoulder they will go down
    If you hit them in the chest instead of the heart
    You will not be disappointed

    You don't have to be a bulleye's shooter

    :D Hey CB stand still or run and let me shoot you in the shoulder with my XD 40, :D think you'll go down. Chest won't matter either. Ok, let me do it with the 9mm to. I know I would go down even with that one.
    Shoot I could put someone down with a 22 if had to be. Yea the 45 has got some great knock down power. But would not want to be hit even with a 9mm.

    Bguillory said he didn't shoot it as well as he thought he could , and his wife outshot him.
    With the piece of lead that comes out of the 45, I wanted him to feel comfortable that if'h he hit anybody with it, they would go down.
    Now you jump in and mess it up.

    :( Sorry, that 45 slug is like being hit with a sludge hammer. My favorite hunting rifle here on the coast range here was a 445 Marlin. That 45 sluge had some real knock down power.
    I still would not want to get shot with even a 22 cal. True you get hit with a 45 it will do more damage. :D

    Why would you want to shoot me. Thought I was one of yer buddies.
    You don't shoot yer buddies.
    Man Please.

    And I wouldn't want to git shot with a BB Gun.
    And a Paint Ball gun hurts too.

    I loose it when I feel pain.

    How does she like how it fits her hand. Or anything else about it.

    Won't get a chance to shoot till Saturday, she likes the feel of it, showing her how to load, tear it down ,clean, ect. Went to gun show Sunday so she could at least hold it and several others and she liked it best so ordered it from my buddy with the FFL Monday and it came in today. I can't waite to try it my self really nice gun.

    That's a really good choice and a very nice pistol. Then SA's are very well made.
