bcpballer64 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 I can dig it. Nice. "The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- (Thomas Jefferson)
Evan_P Posted February 26, 2017 Report Posted February 26, 2017 Went out for ammo this afternoon and came back with a gun.... FNX9. Shop happened to have all the FNX line in. I had wanted the 45 but came to the quick realization that its taller grip and longer barrel were going to make concealment a bit harder. Have not shot it yet as it was dark out and raining by the time I made it home.
audiofanaticz Posted February 26, 2017 Report Posted February 26, 2017 I can dig it. Ive been wanting a FN Five-Seven for so long, but could never justify it.
Evan_P Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 Spent most the morning shooting. Started by running 250 rounds through the FNX. Shoots great. Not too snappy even with 124gr ammo. Ordered some 9mm in bulk for it this evening. Then I spent the rest of my morning dialing in my gas block on the 308 before zeroing the scope for 100 yards. Shoots a lot nicer with the correct gas setting and didn't have any failures in the 150 rounds I ran through it. All in all good day.
reedal Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Picked up a Shield 9, the wife enjoyed shooting it last night, so it'll be a good gun for us to share when we go to the range. A few more paychecks and I'll pick up the 45 and this will become just hers probably.

It's what swayed me i considered the XDS for that promotion, but I'm a fan of thumb safety, and as far as I know the XDS doesn't have that option. Nothing I could find led me to see it anyways. The thumb safety might be "too much safety" or that the fraction of a second it takes to thumb it down is too long for some in a possible situation for use, but it makes me more comfortable, and my muscle memory tells me to thumb it during the draw.

reedal Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Oh ok. Well, I'll keep Springfield in mind for the next time around. I'll rent it next time I'm in the market and see how I feel about the grip safety.

n8ball2013 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Posted March 2, 2017 Holster for the xds came today. Ordered a revolution from stealth gear USA. I need to adjust the retention and get it set up but I think I'm going to like it. I'll get some pictures up at some point THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
