Anyone know if the XDm will fit in a holster made for a standard XD? I'm thinking that it won't fit in a molded leather holster, but I'm hoping it might fit in something like a Blade-Tec Stingray.

I currently own an XD-40 Service, a CZ PO-1, a Kahr P9 Covert and a Browning Buckmark. My wife has a S&W M&P 9mm Compact. I am selling my XD-40 Subcompact, because I rarely carry or shoot it. I can buy one of two guns, an XD-9 Service or a Sig P250 9mm Compact, and am having a hell of a time...

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a Sig P250 9mm Compact. It will be used mostly for IDPA, pin shooting, target practice and possibly as a bedside table gun. I doubt I'll actually carry it much, as I prefer my little Kahr for that. I already own a CZ PO-1 and an XD-40 Service in...

I had a firearms instructor tell me that carrying a gun that has had trigger work can be construed as premeditation and get you tossed in jail for an otherwise justified shoot. I think he is full of crap, especially if the trigger job was done by a gunsmith and I've got the paperwork to prove...

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm not exactly a handyman. When I bought my Romanian Civil Guard AK a few months back, I was kind of bugged by the fact that the furniture was poorly finished and mismatched. The stock, lower hand-guard and upper hand-guard were all stained different...

I have three primary carry guns: XD-40 Service, XD-40 Subcompact and Kahr P9 Covert. The XD-40 is my IDPA gun. When shooting matches, I usually carry it in a Blade Tech Stingray The Stingray is not a great concealment holster, so I generally use a Fist Basic #12 pancake...

Last year, my wife and I took advantage of Front Sight's offer of a free training certificate in exchange for posting their advertising on our blogs. We did not actually have blogs, so we each created a MySpace account with a blog entry and posted the advertising there. We received our...

I bought my first gun in August 2006 and its been down-hill ever since: 2006 Bersa Thunder .380 CC Walther P22 2007 Ruger 10/22 Marlin 60 Molot Vepr 7.62x39 Taurus 85 Ultra-Lite Springfield Armory XD-40 (Traded in Taurus 85) Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm Compact 2008 Romanian G-Code...

I'm planning to acquire an AR-15 very soon and I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two. Thought?

I've been teaching my wife how to shoot handguns and she intends to get her license to carry once she is more comfortable. I asked her if she would be interested in learning to shoot rifles and shotguns. I mentioned taking her to a shooting school for a 4-5 day class. Her only concern was...

I am looking for a quality weapon, not a cheapy WASR-10. I want something that is well-built, well-finished and reasonably accurate (for an AK). I want to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $400-600. I do not want a sporter stock, so no unconverted VEPR or SAIGA rifles. Any suggestions?

I am seriously thinking about getting a Kahr MK9 or PM9 to replace my Bersa 380 for pocket and tucked-IWB carry. I would like to hear from some people who own these guns. In particular, I would like to hear how they hold up over time. I heard a lot of really bad things about the PM9, but got...

I cannot believe the difference a good belt an holster makes. I just got my belt and OWB holster for my XD-40 from Fist and its incredibly comfortable. Its really novel to have a belt with enough support that the gun doesn't pull my pants down. Carrying that gun is actually comfortable now...

After two months of waiting, my Florida Concealed Handgun and Weapons License arrived in the mail today. It felt like Christmas. Now I won't have to deposit my gun in the safe every time I head out the door.

in my wallet. Has anyone else noticed that this stuff adds up quick? I bought an XD-40 Service this week and quickly discovered why so many people harp on the need for a good holster and belt. My Bersa was light enough that a cheap holster and a normal belt worked fine. Those days are over...

I was a little apprehensive about buying an XD-40 because I'd never shot .40 S&W and had heard so much about "snappy" recoil. I ended up going for it anyway, because of the flexibility offered by conversion barrels and because I really liked the way it fit my hand. I bought the gun yesterday...

I am buying a gun tomorrow and I'm trying to decide between the XD-40 and the XD-45. I was going to get the .45, but the shop owner was selling the .40 very hard. He thinks my wife will have a much easier time handling the .40 than the .45. My wife does like the grip diameter better on the...

I shot the CZ 75 PO1 in 9mm and loved it, but I'm looking for something with a little more power for my next carry piece. Does anyone have any experience with the Compact .40? It looks like a .40 version of the PO1. My concern is that not all guns that are great in 9mm are also great in .40...

This is very insightful and thought it provided some much-needed perspective: By JOHN STOSSEL April 18, 2007 — The randomness of the Virginia Tech shootings, and the way we hear the gory, horrific details reported over and over can make us lose perspective. One psychologist issued a press...

I have been looking for a more powerful concealed carry weapon for a long time and am starting to narrow the field. Two of the contenders are very similar in price, size and weight and both seem to have been excellent user feedback and excellent reviews. I am looking for any insight you may...
