    Yeah hes got a ton of videos, and one heck of a range.

    See him popping the gong at 80 yards with a 380 is amazing.

    Wouldn't you love to have that range. I'm down at my range waiting for it to clear out a bit, super crowded today. Put a new front sight on my 3 inch Sig 1911 was shooting 2 inch low at 50 feet.

    Just above Nashville. Land must be cheap there because how did he buy all that on a junior high English Teachers wag. My wife taught school for 30 years and never made enough money to afford that. Like he always ends his videos with

    By the way HRK I know a guy that has a lot of Glocks and bought a Glock 42. Was talking to him tonight at the weekly tavern/dinner get toghther and he said he ran several mags through it and said while it never had a problem he thinks he like his Bersa 380 better. I know another guy who owns a 380 Bersa and he likes his very well.

    Guy was complaining that when he stuck his M&P shield in his leather holster, the safety got knocked on very easily. The safety will go on easier than it will come off safety.
    He sais he was scared he was gonna pull it and need to shoot and it was gonna be on safety.

    I've carried mine in the holster and never had that issue, must have the wrong holster for it. The safety is towards the back of the slide so he must be doing it himself with his finger or thumb, tell him to take a gun handling safety class.

    I got the Xdm 3.8 compact 40 also.
    Nice pistol to carry.
    Carried the Glock gen 1 40 in a uncle mikes foam holster for years.
    It clips over the side of your pants and fits on the inside.
    So carrying the Springfield Xdm 3.9 compact is nothing for me.

    If I get a Xds springfield it will be a 45.
    Really like my 45.

    CB, you ain't gonna like the triggers on the new XDS pistols, man they are really bad. The XDM has a way better trigger. When they did the recall on the XDS they really changed the trigger for the worse. I've shot several hindered through my XDS and it it not getting any better. My M&P Shield trigger is far superior.

    Got a friend that would NOT Send his in for recall till they come out with a new one. Because he likes how it carries.
    He has the money to walk out and pay cash for a 65,000 Truck.
    Thing is you couldn't buy a new XDs without a recall on it.
    He said he shot the heck out of his XDS. Wasn't sending it in till he could buy another one.
    The trigger pull don't bother me on the XDs.

    You got too many things that seem to bother you.
    The pistol is a good carry pistol .'Last thing that is worrying me is the trigger pull.
    I will not be shooting competition.
    I will be carrying for one purpose. for protection..

    What you not hearing CB, this 9mm XDS of mine is not a returned one that I got back but is a brand new one and has all the fixes. So it is a factory fresh one and the trigger sucks. I'm not gonna shoot matches with it either but heck I don't want to take aim at a bad guy and miss him because of a lousy trigger. I'll stick to my Shield, might trade it for another or just sell it. The pre-recalled XDS had a much better trigger.
    Heard there is some trigger springs out for em by Powder River Precision that makes them better.

    I do not like a Shield.
    If you can't take a pistol and hit anybody within 20'
    There is a problem.

    If I was you. And you dislike your XDs so much I would get rid of it.

    Nobody I know that has a XDs has complained once.

    Yep but you just said they don't own the new ones with the update in them. Go try one cause the new ones are out there in 9mm and 45. And I ain't talking about the ones sent back for the recall either.

    They sell out here as fast as they can get them on.

    They got a increased trigger pull for safety I guess.

    I'm gonna buy one when somebody gets one in and they will hold it for me..

    Did you click on the below link ?

    well from what I've read there are a lot of people upset with the
    returned XDs trigger, if you like it fine but that doesn't mean
    others don't find fault with the after recall trigger.

    Yea I saw your link CB, already been to their web site. I had a standard XD 40 once and ordered a whole trigger kit assembly for it from them. That's how I knew about the springs for the XDS. Did all the work myself on the XD40 and it made it a very fine trigger but it was to fine for a concealed carry. I ended up selling it. Lots of complaints about the recalled and the new XDS pistols triggers, just go to the Springfield forums.

    I like the way the pistol fits my hand and the way it carries.
    With that I can get over the trigger pull.
    If its a tactical moment. You will never worry about the trigger pull.
    You will just start pulling it.

    Yes but remember you only have 5 shots plus one in the chamber. Don't shoot if your intended target is more than 10 yards away. Still will carry my Shield with critical defense loads.

    Unless there are more than one person, you shouldn't need anymore than 5 shots.
    And you are not gonna carry a spare 7 shot mag ?
