Test Fitting Some Weapons

XDm comes with a bore brush.

All my XDm's come with a barrel brush.
I will take Gun Scrub and take the weapon down.
Spray gun scrub on it and let it sit for a few minutes. Brush the barrel out with gun scrub and the brush.
Then wipe the gun power and all off it.
Then spray it down with gun scrub again. and wipe it dry.
Then I take either Remington gun spray, or tri flow spray and put some on it. And wipe the excess off.

Dude we have a Walley World up here. There ain't no place to buy stuff like That.

Nope

The one thing that I did not mention about this M&P 40 is that it was fitted with a barrel that was ready for a suppressor and it had this thing that screwed on to the end of the barrel when there was no suppressor being used. Cheapened the look big time. Now is that an added feature or is that normal to have that on the M&P?

One feature that I must say that I am not impressed with is the fact that the trigger must be pulled in order to release the slide. Just doesn't seem safe to me. I am sure that I would get used to it if I were to purchase that gun.

Hey guys, on a different note. Has anyone had experience with PMC ammo. I just ordered a 100rds of .45ACP 185gr.JHP. I'm having trouble finding Federals. Yeah I shoulda Asked before I ordered it but stock running low at most places.

Johnny is weight is gonna be a factor to you. You need to stay away from a 45

You should look at only a 9mm
I would look at the XDm 3.8 compact 9mm
It holds the most bullets and you need the little extra weight to cut down on recoil
A few ounces on a weapon I will never notice. You may when you 1st hold the weapon. But after you've handled it for a while. YOu will forgit about it.
I got used to carrying a 38 lb machine gun.

Its a pretty hard job cleaning a Springfield. YOu may need a tool box of stuff.
I use Gun Scrub, the brush that comes with the XDM and q tips swabs and Remington Rem lub.

But you better take notes so you git the weapon put back together.

Where do you get that weight is going to be an issue for me? You have no idea what I am able to handle. I have fired many weapons before and I have a pretty good idea of what it is that I am after. What does the wright of the gun mean anything to a statement about not liking the fact you have to pull the trigger to disassemble??????

Was nothing to do with pulling a trigger.
From a lot of the post you have made.
It seems like you want a light pistol.
What you want only matters to you. Nobody else.
Just thought you might like the 9mm better.
You can shoot it witout no earplugs outside. Very little recoil.
It don't have very much recoil. Handles a lot of bullets. Had great stopping power. If its in the house, your wife can handle it easily too.
Its a very versitle pistol. Its very accurate and easy to shoot.

I have one too.

No I really do not want a real light gun. HRk suggested a really light gun because he assumes that I am going to carry 100% of the time. Not my intention. My intention is to carry when I am on the bike and to do some target shooting. My place of employment has a "No Firearms On Premise" policy so I can't carry it when I am at work. I have to be careful of what I carry when I home as well as my wife does daycare and we have a lot of kids running around our house. I need to be mindful of these facts. I spend a lot of time on my bike, not a lot of getting off and walking around when I am with my bike other than to fuel and eat so weight isn't that big of a concern for me. My biggest and foremost concern is to find a gun that fits my hand comfortably and one that operates with least bit of trouble. Mag release, slide release and dis assembly all play a factor in my decision. As I am starting to find out, not one gun is going to be perfect in all area's. I prefer to have at least 2 out of the three criteria met. I am not going to run out and just buy a gun, I have time to buy it so I am going to take my time and make sure that I buy the one that best fits me. I have looked at the Glock 9mm and I have to say that I did not like how "Fat" it is in the slide. After looking at the XDS, that piece is HUGE!! FLHT is right, it is just hard to beat the compactness of the XDS without going to the SIG Saur 380. Now that is a small gun.

This video pointed out perfect what it is that I like best about the XDm over the M&P. YOU do not have to pull the trigger in order to take the slide off. Just seems safer to me...
