Love my P6. I got it from another INGO member. It's had the ramp polished. I was under the impression that P6's need to have some ramp work done to feed HP rounds. Mine feeds them fine, but can someone clarify this for me? P6 needs work done to the feed ramp for HP's and P225's don't? Is...
Deadeye - Thanks, I'll have to do that! I will say this - I like to carry my Walther PPS, I love it's concealability, size, weight, everything. But there's something about my P229 that makes it my favorite weapon to have with me.
XD .40 I got right here on INGO from another member's father. What a great gun to learn to shoot with. I've got huge bear paws as hands, but it fit pretty well with a Hogue slip-on. I've added a couple in the last year, Sig P229, Walther PPS (both in .40), and a Sig P6.
Deadeye, I wasn't trying to correct you as much as I was trying not to get excited about a cheaper option being available. I love my 229. And I hate the price of .40 right now. I get it when I can and where I can for as cheap as I can, but that doesn't change the fact that I'd love to be...
The Texas Rangers and Ohio State Patrol Officers use them as duty weapons. That said, I prefer the P229. I find a 5 inch barrel is just more difficult than necessary to conceal. Can't go wrong with a SIG...:twocents:
I'm a noob as well. I read all I could find before making my purchase (XD .40 w/4" barrel), and I love it. Rented a Glock 19 9mm to shoot them side by side and hated the Glock. My father-in-law was the opposite. He loved the Glock and told me to keep my XD away from him. I was at a gun shop...
I was at Popguns at Post and Washington on the East Side last week and they had a XD 9 SC as a rental. Like many other ranges I've been to, they'll only let you shoot rounds you buy there through their pistols. $11 for the rental and $20-25 or so for a box of 50 rounds if memory serves...
You know, I was just looking at one the other day...it sounds like people haven't noticed too many issues (besides the OP's). Is that a fair assessment? It's just that it would be cheaper to buy a new P22 and 5000 rounds of ammo than 1500 rounds for my 40. It becomes awful tempting .
I'll say this, not having built any guns, but definitely having similar hobby experience. The first one you build will be incredibly more about the process than the final product. I think RVB's approach of building several before trusting the process (and product) fully. Obviously I lack...
