Springfield XD 3" vs. XDm 3.8"

Quick update.

Went to Sears and got the 3/32 pin punch to change out to the smaller grips.
The pin punch was $5.95 plus taxes.

The whole process took about 5 minutes plus a bit of blood. While putting it back in, I pinched my finger.

Nice sidearm. REALLY! I almost got this one myself. You may have issues with concealment though. Keep your mags short--extended mags are hard to CC. That's a whole lotta gun to try to hide--if you CC. If not, bear away dude.

Agree, I need to order a few short magazines.

Range Report

I finally took my new gun to a friends house, outside Franklin, Indiana.

I put 249 rounds through it. I had 3 of my friends, so really I only shot about 75 rounds.

It was really nice to shoot, but I need a lot of practice/training. It was just a go shoot for fun. And all 3 of them now want one.

Ammo used:

Remington UMC - 115 GR. Jacketed Hollow Point.
Remington UMC - 115 GR
Winchester 115/147 GR Range/Target

Since we all took turns it took us a while to shoot the ammo, next time I a planning on going with just one other person and setting up the range just a bit better.

The only issue was 1 time, the slide did not lock to the back after shooting the last round. I was not the one shooting it when it happen, so I am not exactly sure why that happened.

I cleaned the gun right when I got home and it was very easy to do.

I also had a smile on my face for about 5 hours, it was so much fun, of course, next time it will be all about training.

And lastly, I read some statistic that most people that own one gun, actually have many, I can see me getting another 9mm in the near future along with a few thousand rounds.


Thanks for all the input.
