I used to have an AK that did jam. Blew that for me.The only thing I've ever shot that never jammed was an AK-47.
Lol, the XDs always requires a small blood sacrifice, usually a little blister on the thumb web from the aggressive checkering.
The XDm otoh is a very comfortable shooter, certainly in 9mm. The XDm compact with the small grip is not much larger than the XDs but offers 13 rounds (in 9mm) instead of 7.
Now if they could put the XDm trigger in the XDs.....
I've sold a lot of xds' and with their current 3 free mag promo it is a no brainer, 5 total mags by the time the rebate ships.. (A week or two)
I just bought a Ruger LC9s Pro as a smaller carry gun for summer when a G19 is a bit much to lug around in Georgia heat. I'll let ya'll know how it shoots & functions.
Early adopter on the Springfield XDS and now want to try the 4" 9mm version. The 3" .45 ACP is just a punishing little bastard to shoot much but is fun in its own way.
Bill are you talking about the xd subcompact or the xds? Single or double stack?
I'm curious what you're thinking here about "losing their way". Someone else pointed out that they're doing a lot of rifle stuff these days, but they aren't neglecting the pistols. Their new stuff is actually rather fascinating. Karen shot a P2022 at "Sig Days" at our range and absolutely loved it and bought one. The same DA/SA trigger but the bottom half of the gun is "Tupperware" like a Glock, dropping the notoriously high Sig price down to where if you're a DA/SA fan and/or a Sig trigger fan, you're paying now just over Glock prices for something VERY close in feel to a traditional Sig pistol. (Supposedly the newer ones are even better. The 2022 is a lost in the middle design and was a huge sleeper, price-wise, for a while. At one point they were selling for Glock prices. No more. Folks figured it out.)
(And again, I'm kinda a purist "stock" pistol kinda guy. I want to shoot it as the manufacturer made it. I hear the trigger kits for the M&P Tupperware help them a LOT, but no. If it doesn't shoot well out of the box, I'll just move on. Plenty of better options for what I like. And she likes the thing so she can have it. Hahaha. At least it was cheap.)
Oh no doubt. I've seen an $80K+ shotgun a couple times at Cabela's. Why anyone would spend that kind of money on one, I have no idea. I guess it's only money.
Heavy trigger pull.. as far as Im concerned all the LCP is good for is a point blank belly gun.
The lc9s Pro has a good trigger, much better than the original the LC9.
The lcp has a heavy trigger, but that is expected on a no safety pocket gun, isn't it?
why? to consistently break 100 of 100 clays.
No gun will do that for you. That is the shooter.
There are three different ones.
XDs with a 3.3in barrel (single stack)
XD subcompact 3.0in barrel (double stack)
XDm compact 3.8in barrel (double stack)
I got the LC9s Pro, which has no manual safety and no magazine disconnect. My safety is between my ears. But I don't pocket carry either.

I have the 3" double stack

Don't bet on it.
It's really a combination of the shooter, the gun, and the ammo.
Give me the best trap gun out there and I'd still need miracle to break 100.
Give the top trap shooter a lousy shotgun with lousy ammo and she won't break 100.
To prove a point he ran a 308-only match once and lo and behold, the same shooter were in the top 10 as always, proving the point that its more the Indian and less the arrow.
You're betting your life on a BERSA!!??
Eh, *she* wont break 100 anyway, cuz she's a girl and everybody knows girls cant shoot!

I bought the XDs in 9mm a couple weeks ago. Extra mags arrived yesterday. Very happy Springfield owner. Pistol shoots great. Glock 43 was over priced.
I know your're kidding with that one. I know girls can shoot. My wife proves that often enough.
Some of us in states like Massachusetts have to get the stock gun with extra heavy trigger for our protection (consumer protection and all that nonsense). So, some of us get used to the concept of modifying the trigger to make the firearm actually useful.
I don't know what the out-of-the-box pull on my 1911 is, but it's more than the 6lbs my trigger pull gauge will measure. It's my understanding that the MA-compliant S&W M&P trigger is 10.5lb.
Yup. Im shooting clays with a stock Browning Citori. Might have been $100 new but I doubt it. When I was shooting sporting clays on a regular basis I was consistently in the mid-80's. I bet with a $20,000 shotgun I coulda broke into the 90's!
I wish I still lived close to the shotgun range. Clays are a lotta fun!
They're a lot prouder of the Citori these days. Was just looking at them with a coworker over lunch. He wants to get back into clays. He hasn't shot clays since they were still selling the Super Skeet.
Kinda to the point, a friend of mine who owns a very nice training facility in Kingsville runs long range matches all the time. In days past the 308 was the caliber of choice for most shooters. It has since migrated into other flatter shooting calibers and there was a huge debate about guys shooting 'wind cheater' calibers, that barely had the terminal ballistics to knock over a steel plate but could buck the wind better. To prove a point he ran a 308-only match once and lo and behold, the same shooter were in the top 10 as always, proving the point that its more the Indian and less the arrow.
They both do the job ,they where intended to.
My point was that it is a combination of gun and shooter and ammo.
Yup, that's it, thanks. I haven't taken it down farther than basic field-strip, but apparently my "glock armorer" buddy did. I guess the whole front block had to be removed when he installed a 2lb ZEV race connector. Also not impressed with his magwell job. Looks like I'll be having a little chat regarding his credentials...If you removed the spring when you disassembled it, you've re-installed it incorrectly. This is a common mistake. Sometimes it gets installed in such a way that the first pin is going through the spring, instead of the spring being underneath the first pin. Just means that you put the parts back in in the wrong order. I'll take a picture of what it should look like and post in a sec.
