    Here will try again.
    The safe I showed it for super quick access to git a weapon out if somebody kicks down a door. It ain't for storing a weapon.
    If a weapon is stored. Jump out the back window and run.

    Storing weapons and a safe that kids can't access are two different safes.
    I sold safes for many, many, many years
    Now seems somebody wants to tell me about safes and what they are used for.
    I know used to know all the rating and all on safes.
    I know which safe is used where.
    Trust me I started selling safes in 69 at Alabama Lock & Key

    I was trained by Germans, that owned Alabama Lock & Key

    So you know safes. ;) how you going to store 20-30 guns in a small safe like your talking about. like I said for someone with couple of guns they would be great. I don't keep all my pistols locked up all the time. Some are ready if someone breaks open the door. When I'm gone they are locked up. Simple

    My pistol for home defense is my 45 and it sits in the night stand drawer. If I leave it goes in the Safe. I carry a 9mm Shield.

    So tell us how it feels In yer little hands.
    And don't tell us you haven't fired it.
    Lub it some before you shoot it dry city slicker.

    Bring it down here and I will take you out.:rant:

    Big bullet, small gun my favorite combination. They had em at a good price 499.00.

    I looked at the XDM 3.8 40 and thought the trigger pull was no better than my XD40 service. Matter of fact with the Powder River drop in trigger I installed my XD40 has a much better trigger than the XDM did.

    Didn't get a chance to fire it yet CB. Got a funeral to go to tomorrow with Maddog.

    So all you have done is dry fired the XDm 3.8

    If you are in a situation, you never thing twice about how the trigger pulls.

    Look I know how my XD 40 fires and the trigger is crisp and precise. I don't need to fire the XDM 3.8 to know I don't like it. The XDS has a much better trigger pull and has a great reset.

    It feels really good in the hand and will be an excellent carry.
