Re: New Gun, Post Your Own Too
Just got back from Dad's, ran another 200 rounds through the XD and as everything is starting to break in and operate smoother I'm really starting to like the gun. I'm not the greatest shot with it but it is obvious the gun is quite accurate, need to buy a few more boxes of Winchester White Box ($21 per 100rds at Wal Mart) and then some reloading equipment.

In the case of a mis-fire (bad cartridge), instead of re-racking the slide to clear it...you just pull the trigger again
#2 benefit is intimidation
short story = Cop I knew once told me that he drew his pistol (S/A) on this guy and the guy just looked at him and said, "---- you, pig!" and took off running. After a very short foot chase his partner caught up with him and drew his revolver. The guy proceeded to immediately ---- his pants (literally), put his hands behind his head and lay face down on the ground without even being asked.
