TGO David

Countless XDTalk members have used him with success. I think this is the case of a vocal minority getting air-time because they were unhappy with something. Kind of like how Delk gets the shaft a lot on Tennesspeed because a few people don't like them or something they did, but countless others you never hear from are tickled to death with them. AJames has gotten nothing but praise from 99.999999% of the people who have used him.

Reef, AJames over on XDTalk will install and laser boresight and sights that he installs on your slide for free if you buy the sights from him. He also does this for a $15 fee which includes return shipping if you just send him your slide and sights. https://www.shop.xd-hs2000.com/displayProductDocument.hg?productId=26&categoryId=15 He's down in Alabama so I bet turnaround would be really quick.

No, I asked them if they had.

About.... ? The responses to the dirty magazines jamming thread that I started on XDTalk were mostly people defending the XD by accusing the guys here of being Glock fanboys. I suspected that would happen and didn't even count those replies as being valid. The same would have happened if a Glock person posted something like that about Glocks over on GlockTalk and said that the people accusing the guns of failing were XD owners. There were a few valid responses from people who said that they have dropped their mags in the dirt, mud, snow, etc. while shooting competitions and that they had no such failures. They did say that they shook their mags out before slamming them back into the gun. One fellow said that anyone who slams a magazine full of dirt into their gun deserves to have it jam. I realize of course that when it's a life or death situation, you might not have time to shake out the dirt and if the Glocks fired full of gunk, then that's a testimony to them being able to eat all sorts of garbage and still fire. I'm not going to test it out on my XD anytime soon, though, and prefer not to ever have to find out.

I don't think God would have a problem with carrying there.

Welcome! I'm a fan of the 45 myself... own two, carry one daily.

I have an old Enfield at my parents house that I have shot many many times. In fact, before I bought my Remington .30-06 pump, the Enfield was my hunting rifle... iron sights and all. Would absolutely love to own the Springfield SOCOM M1 but don't see myself spending $1700 on it anytime soon. Other than that, I have my Bushmaster M4gery which is also a ton of fun to shoot.

I think you'd like the CTAC a lot. Too bad that one I had sold before you got to it or I could have saved you some money. A rigid belt makes worlds of difference!

Does it do this if you login directly through the forum as opposed to the "portal" front end? Forum Portal I'm wondering if it might be the Portal. Also, what web browser are you using?

Glad to have you here with us, Dave. I read your bio over on Tactical Response a few days ago and look forward to your participation here.

An unloaded gun is just an expensive hammer. Condition One.

Welcome! What does ETS do exactly?

Here's a good basic overview on the two mentioned here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USPSA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDPA I would love to go watch a match one of these days. I hear it's a ton of fun.

It's good to see you here!

It's worse than Christmas. At least you know when Christmas is going to be here.

Perhaps we can discuss this maturely albeit passionately here. What do you think of the current situations in the Middle East? Bush's decision to send more troops to Iraq Likelihood of successfully stabilizing Iraq The apparent upcoming stare-down with Iran I noticed this news story hit the wires just an hour ago. (LINK) Gotta admit that I'm not real crazy about the collision course we seem to be on with Iran. I definitely think Iran needs to have it's ass spanked but I'm not sure now is the time as hard as our guys are already working over there and as thin as they seem to be spread. Thoughts?

Your post mirrors my own method of doing things. And I too can't fault anyone for keeping their sidearm on them at home. Like you said, personal preference!

Glad you came over, Jeff. Old guns are cool stuff, in my book. We've got a slew of them at my relatives back in Kentucky just waiting to be sorted out.

Very glad to have you here. Saw your reply over on XDTalk and it's good to see more local folks filtering over.

Regarding the RCBS Pro 2000... http://www.handloads.com/articles/default.asp?id=26 Retail on them seems to be around $850 which I suppose isn't too terribly bad if you shoot enough each year to recover the cost.

Update for me... A few weeks ago I ordered a CTAC and a paddle from Comp-Tac for my Kimber 1911. The CTAC took some work by them to get it right for this particular gun, and the paddle was just not going to work due to snagging issues. So I sent the paddle back and used it as an upgrade credit towards their new Infidel holster for my XD45. Yesterday the Infidel holster arrived and I used it to carry my XD home after work, wore it around the house a bit and used it again today to carry my XD to and from the office. Initial impressions: A little more comfortable than the CTAC when you're sitting down. I chose to use their single 1.50" belt clip attachment, and this allows the holster to tilt a little as I sit. It's quite literally so comfortable that I forget it's there when I am sitting. I can see where a good gun belt is going to be needed if I wear this holster for a longer period of time, though. Since it only has one point at which it attaches to my belt, all of the handgun's weight is put on that one place rather than distributed the way it is with the CTAC's two outrigger clips. For quick trips to the store, to and from work, etc. the Infidel is a ton more convenient to use. I can literally just quickly clip it into my waistband and go. With the CTAC I normally have to loosen the belt, maybe unbutton my jeans flap, affix the holster, position it and then tighten everything back up. Not so with the Infidel. Quick, easy, out the door. Handgun retention is excellent. As with all of the Comp-Tac holsters, retention is adjustable via two screws. Retention of the holster in the waistband is excellent as well. No worries of it coming out accidentally or when drawing. The belt clip is very secure and takes a conscious effort to unclasp it from my belt. If you're really worried, opt for the two belt loops instead. Could it be a suitable replacement for the CTAC? Actually... yes. With a very sturdy gun belt or by choosing any of the other belt attachment options, I can see where it would be just as stable as the CTAC even for long periods of time. As long as you aren't interested in tucking your shirt in over the holster and gun, then the Infidel is a great choice. Otherwise the CTAC is definitelt what you want to look at. I'm quite happy with it and figure I'll probably use it more often than the CTAC because of the ease and convenience it offers.

You got to keep a book? The class at On Target didn't give books to the students. I still have my book from my Kentucky permit class years ago.

Welcome! Glad to have you here with us.
