I have a problem (or, I bought another one)

Post pictures or videos as well as specifications or whatever else you want to say about the guns that you know and love.

Our mandate is to provide security for the nation's hallmark retail establishments and ensure the safety of the United States's corporate capitalism consumer interfacing sites. Tysons Corner and the Galleria are primary examples of such establishments. While I am not at liberty to discuss the exact nature of our operations, I can tell you that Operation SALE (Stealth Action Law Enforcement) and DISCOUNT (Delta Interdiction Stealth Counter Operations UNit Tactics) were critical in stopping two major anti-sheeple attacks. If not for the valiant actions of my team, hundreds of thousand plus US dollar purses and shoes at Neimann Marcus and Saks may have been compromised.

Seriously, though, I've really enjoyed this "hobby". Just been kinda eye-popping to see how much I have spent in the last few months - but then again, it's no more than a new camera body, new lenses, or a new laptop. I just have to figure out how to make the firearms a business deduction like I can with the other gear.

The friend for whom I was also looking for the XDM 45 told me to keep the gun and do not sell it to him. He thinks I need a .45 ACP.


I'm not laughing bro. I shoot 2000 rounds, run 35 miles, and practice martial arts for 12 hours every day to be fit enough to protect retail venues....

Slacker! That is my weekend training when I have the ability to be lazy.

First 14 shots from the gun this weekend. First one was low and to the left, second to the right. I then squeezed off the remaining rounds at 15 yards. That's a Dirty Bird 8" target for reference.

In your situation, I would advocate option 4. Donate it to Charity.

Did I mention the Stuff for Roc_Kor Foundation is accepting donations? :wave:

What are you using to prop it up? At first glance it looked like a crazy cool integrated red dot/holo. site... that would be wild, but I can't tell what it really is.

Nice purchase, I love my 9mm xdm, your .45 should be about .096" funner. Maybe I missed it, but what kind of capacity do you get? Did they add a higher cap. mag. over the XD or did they already squeeze as many .45's into that small of an area as possible.

I wonder when they will go with a .45 xd-sc? Probably not as practical considering barrel/weight/size/recoil but it would be stupidly fun to shoot.

It's 13+1. I think it is about all they can get in without making the grip stupidly wide or long.

:clap: Keep the guns, get a few ARs and a couple of shotguns and you're set for the next 3 months. You only have 4, you don't have a problem until you're in the triple digits.

Easy problem to solve...just buy more expensive ones. Rather than have a 100+ S&W, Rugers, Hi-points, etc., start buying custom rifles, benchrest rifles, high end engraved shotguns ($10k entry price), etc. Also, buy accessories. Night vision, lights, big money scopes don't count to the total # owned.

In the middle of some rather unpleasant life stuff now, so buying anything new is curtailed (maybe) for a bit. That said, I will buy an RDS for my AR (Ruger SR-556). And maybe that shotgun. Maybe that laser sight/light combo for my new .45, too. Also thinking of....
