I don't know what the hype is with those XDs - They just don't do anything for me - More of a tradicionalist kind of guy here -
I was just telling Bean that he should look into getting a 9mm instead of .45 - ammo is 50% less.
I am glad you had a good time out there -
Yeah my 1911 just eats up that .45, so I wanted a 9mm semi-auto for cheaper shooting.
I had only shot one or two 9mm when I first started shooting a few years ago. The one I shot (Beretta? I don't remember) just felt like such a sharp recoil, I liked the .45 better.
Now that I've tried a couple different 9mms I think it was just that gun that felt so sharp.
