My suggestion is....Man up and carry a full size gun. Compacts and Sub-Compacts are for girls and girly boys. Just kiddin'. I know you said .45, but being the huge XD fan that I am, I'd suggest the XD40 Sub-Compact 3". Capacity : 9+1 RDS; 12+1 RDS w/X-Tensionâ„¢ Barrel: 3" Steel, Melonite, Fully Supported Ramp Sights: Dovetail Front and Rear (Steel) 3 - Dot Trigger pull: 5.5 - 7.7 lbs. Frame: Black Polymer Slide: Forged Steel, Melonite Finish Recoil System: Dual Spring with Full Length Guide rod Length: 6.25" Height: 4.75" w/ Compact Mag, 5.5" w/ Extended Mag Weight w/ Empty Magazine: 26 ozs. w/ Compact Mag, 27 ozs. w/ Extended Mag http://www.springfield-armory.com/xd.php?version=62 Again, I know you said .45, but I would suggest this for a compact carry.

That sounds great! I prefer a spicy sausage. The mixture between that and the sweetness of the blackberry jelly will make your taste buds go BAMMM!!!!!!!!

I will be more than happy to send a little something as well.

Thanks! I saw several on Miday's site, but was wondering if anyone knew of any other companies. I sent my info, via the site, to have the ATF send me an application. I guess we'll see what happens.

Why yes, I'll be more than happy to take one at $340.

For me it's not difficult at all. Afterall, it is only an extra inch.

I'm sure the picture you didn't post looks beautiful. EDIT....You beat me by just seconds. That's nice. Very nice. Congrats!

Anyone giving discounts to C&R FFL holders on complete AR uppers?

Ummmmm...I'm not quite sure. She thinks I was the one taking the picture.

She's plenty "fluffy" herself. Good thing both of us can live with a fat significant other. Of course, she got the raw end of the deal, because I'm much much fatter.

Trust me, you sure as hell don't want to see a dirty picture with my fat a** in it.

Obviously he doesn't realize he's in the South. He should know that southerners don't use farfangled things like epoxy to fix things. Here, it's all about the Duct Tape and a hammer. If that won't fix it, it ain't worth fixin'.

I have fairly large hands, and compacts are far too small for me. I guess I could go with one that allows for a magazine extension, but IMHO, that just looks silly. A full size grip with a short barrel just doesn't look right to me. The 4" is perfect for me.

Just based on the time he spent here, it was more than obvious that he was all about "legal actions".

No problem. I guess there's a chance that the list on their site is not up to date. I guess you'll find out with a phone call. Good luck.

Here is an authorized service center in TN. W.H. McGuns 124 North 22nd Ave Humboldt TN, 38343 ph 731-784-5746 If you don't already have the link to the list, here it is. http://www.winchesterguns.com/services/arcs.asp There seems to be several in TN and surrounding states.

You can't let the story of one guy keep you from getting it fixed. If nothing else, contact Winchester with your concerns about the potential issues with the authorized gunsmith. Winchester is paying them to do a job. I'm sure Winchester is more than willing to do whatever it takes to fix this problem.

Well, what are you holdin' out for?

As long as she keeps her mouth shut, I kinda like the fat one. If a "Regular Joe" was singling that song, it wouldn't have been nearly as good, but since a Marine was singing, it gave me goosebumps. Nice find!

If it were me, I would get it fixed. If that is not an option, I would only sell the gun after you write out a letter stating that the new owner knows about the issue you have mentioned. At the time of purchase, meet the person at a local Notary Public. I'm not sure the new buyer would have any legal recourse if he or someone else gets injured and/or dies while using this gun, but with all the sue happy SOB walking around, I wouldn't take even the slightest of chances. Just my

You made an excellent choice. I love my XD.

You're exactly right. Thankfully we have many other reasons to hate him. Actually, I don't hate him. He was simply the most annoying person I've ever encountered on the internet. And for that, I'm happy he's no longer with us.

Thanks! I'm just glad that my stupidity didn't prevent me from being able to tell the story. I was really really stupid. Just a few weeks ago I was making a delivery to one of my customers, when he did something similar with his XD9. I was standing to his right, about two feet away. He had removed the slide and magazine for some reason (I can't really remember why). He then put everything back together (including the magazine). For some reason, he needed/wanted to remove the slide again, but forgot that he had already put the magazine back in. Side note; if you're not firmiliar with the XD's, you have to pull the trigger (not on the new XDM's) in order to remove the slide. Anyway, he pulled the trigger to remove the slide, and BANG!!!!! Luckily, he had the gun pointed to his left (remember, I was standing 2 feet to his right). The bullet blew the hell out of one of those paint markers. It was a mess, but no one was hurt. Lucky! Very Lucky!

It looks to be a Springfield Armory XD9 4" Service Model.
