As well as Rule 2 when at the range....holding it up and in the direction you are in the pic might offend the person in the lane next to you.
Just kidding, kind of.....
But NICE XD, I have one myself!

Excellent choice!!! 
Austin, That gun looks great!!!!
Remember trigger discipline...
No, we are NOT hounding you but the four rules of firearms handling should be followed at ALL times!!!!
Now get out there and get some training, AND LOTS of pactice.
I suggest making all the organized matches as possible. There you will be forced into safe gun handling practices as well as a bunch of hands-on, sights-on familiarity practice.
Springfield XD is one of the finest guns around. I shoot one at most all of the competitions I go to. (only mine is an ugly all black 5" barelled tacticool model)

i go to the range and shoot with my dad so its not like i dont know how to shoot well!! and im showing my gun off in the picture!! gees you people are legalistic! im guessing none of you have gone over the speed limit and have ALWAYS obeyed the 4 rules..
Not trying to get on your bad side here, but that's the kind of attitude that can get you or others hurt. Experienced people that know what they are talking about are trying to help you. You really should head what could be life saving advice.
i took advice that was given too me correctly via private message! i just spent more than half my summer wages (aka roofing) to get this new gun so im a bit excited over it. sry for that!! 
ill take advice when its given in a correct manner!

Hmmm... too bad the kid's got such a bad attitude when given honest safety advice along with complements about his gun. I guess all of us old timers will have to learn what the "correct manner" is. :rolleyesedit:
UPDATE: The "kid" and I talked via P.M.. He's a good guy that appreciates safety. He's OK in my book!!!!

This kid... is my son and he does not have a bad attitude. He made a mistake. I have never seen him point his pistols in the wrong direction or have his finger on the trigger when handing a gun. I think while trying to photograph himself he messed up and did not realize it. The first two post corrected him and and he received a very polite pm that was class act. He got the point after that. Then everyone wanted to jump on the wagon.
All of us old timers have made mistakes when we were young that's how we are wiser now. He will not make this mistake again! He was just excited about his first pistol that he purchased. I think he's more upset with himself.
p.s. Crystalship1 if you ever in Lafayette and want to shoot at flatcreek I would love for you to meet my son in person and get to know him.
My apologies to you and your son if my comments were taken as rude or offensive. They weren't meant to offend. However, safety is an issue that cannot be overemphasized. Yes, we all made mistakes when we were young and we learned from it. Hopefully, we can pass that along to the next generation so they won't have to.
I buried a couple classmates in high school. One was shot with an "unloaded gun," the other was from the absence of trigger discipline.
they do not seem to be out of line in any remarks made they are just trying to pass on a lil knowledge and nothing is wrong with that no one was rude or im polite the reason some one said the bad aptitude comment is because some of his posts seem very defensive
