Well, Springfield Armory gets another sale from me. Tried out the G19 and the XDM 3.8" comp and walked out with a deposit slip for this guy. Just felt way better in my hand, plus I like/am used to the grip safety.

Looks pretty damn cool. I got to handle my cousins xd9, felt better than glock IMO.

[mrsleeve]

I like the XD/M way better than any glock, have I mentioned I hate glocks before ????????

Good friend of mine has a XDm in 45acp, while I like it and shoot it well, its no Sig................

[randomsv650]

Sig is next one the list, for sure haha

I like the looks of that! I have only shot one of the early xd's and i hated it! so since then I have always just hated them so maybe should give it a go sometime

I just had a little chat with my gun guy, this after noon. Seems S&W had brought back the 5" .460 mag. I think I will be placing an order for one......

You make 1911's sound like a cheap antiquated design.

I never said they were cheap, but the platform is indeed old.

I've ran hundreds of rounds through mine and my dad thousands through his, without noteworthy issues.

I wonder what you mean when you say "noteworthy"?

I wouldn't hesitate to carry it or use it in a situation that I depend on it.

Good for you, but I refuse to carry a complex platform with such a finicky history if I were depending on it for my life.

If you've had issues with jamming maybe you'd best not shoot at all, since all guns will jam eventually.

Your immaturity aside, Ive got a gen 1 Glock 17 that has had 10s of thousands of rounds through it, and it has gone "bang" every single time I have pulled the trigger, WITHOUT exception...100% on every 9mm round type, weight ever made. Even my Kimber manual "warns me" to use 230gr FMJ ONLY, for 100% reliability.

We can simply agree to disagree...it wasnt my intention to insult 1911 fans, but after 45 years of shooting everything under the sun, it is not a weapon I would trust to carry, thats all.

Regards.

Yes and no. I think that there are newer, possibly better options for reliability, but I won't say that the 1911 is a gun that by design has inherent problems and should be avoided. I just think that they can be temperamental and you should get to know your carry gun very intimately, especially if it is a 1911.

"temperamental" "finicky" all terms I agree with when thinking about a 1911.

I don't want anyone that buys a 1911 to think that they have a shitty, unreliable gun, just because it stops running once in a while.

But what happens when it stops running when you need it the most? 8)

It's usually a simple fix if there is an issue, be it from ammo, magazine, or user error.

Simple or not, thats the reason I wont carry one.

I feel comfortable carrying my 1911 after working with it to the point that if it should have a malfunction, I am able to correct it quickly.

That is fine, and that is your choice...like I said, Im not here to bash it, but Im sure you must realize "...to correct it quicky." is subjective when your life is on the line.

That said, out of around 1000 rounds, I've only had 2 FTF issues attributed to the factory Colt mag, and 1 stovepipe that happened with WWB ammo. I don't use the factory mag and I don't carry WWB ammo.

Two too many IMHO.

If I gave up on every manufacturer or design of gun based on a couple of failure to feed issues I probably wouldn't have many options.

I disagree.

I've had a Glock 27 go tits up on me with failure to eject, a Glock 22 that ejected casings right between my eyes, a Sig P229 that had a weak mag spring resulting in FTF, and a Ruger revolver that had a problem with free-wheeling when I bought it.

Yes, every manufacturer will have occasional issue, and everybody has a story about X gun, regardless of where the problem lies, but it has been my hands-on and direct observations that the 1911 platform has more failures per-capita than any other gun make, or platform.

Regards.

My maturity level has little bearing in this conversation, so I suggest you leave those misguided personal attacks at the door.

Congrats that your 9mm doesn't jam often, but I won't begin to believe that it doesn't at all. So let's just leave it in an agreement that we don't agree.

Your recommended remedy to me was to quit shooting all together. While not a personal attack, I do find that statement rather juvenile. So before you go throwing rocks...

Congrats that your 9mm doesn't jam often,

I didnt say not "often", I said NEVER.

but I won't begin to believe that it doesn't at all.

Actually, I have quite a few guns that are, and will remain 100%. A well maintained gun, that gets worn parts/mags replaced on schedule, and fed decent ammo can operate 100% easily. Your statements makes me think you have limited experience in firearms.

So let's just leave it in an agreement that we don't agree.

Based on our conversations, I prefer to leave it in what I believe, thank you very much.

Regards.
