.....and no tax, wholesale pricing, no TICS, ect. BTW in response to concerns, I always carry my secondary on my hip. I generally trust folks, but I'm not stupid either.

It's a little nit picky, but they are more than just an importer. SA did buy exclusive distribution, marketing, licensing rights ect. In effect they control every aspect, even development of new designs. IMM, at this point, is only the factory operating at the desires of SA.

Yes, but they are selling them through http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/. He is putting out a DIY trigger guard that is really interesting. No price yet, so I'm waiting to try that on my 12g build.

Tromix isn't taking any more work for awhile. $329 is an absolute steal on the 12. Most of them are going for at least $100 more! Enjoy.

1. Hmmm...Glocks vastly outnumber XDs, and HPs are few and far between in the U.S. Not so on a world wide basis or in total sales. HP's have been used in the larger capacity as service pistols around the world (which I think is a better measure anyway) as Glocks. This is one of the jaded Glock views that Glocks are the biggest, best selling gun ever because of their "perfection". 2. Exactly how many "kabooms" have you seen? I have seen 5 reports just this year. 3. ND = AD. They mean the same thing to me. How can the gun be at fault? Was it a careless or poorly trained gun? The gun can be at fault due to poor design or mechanical deficiencies. If a gun goes off by being bumped, for instance, while holstered then that is and AD. If you buddy shoots you in the foot as he was cleaning it because he forgot to check the chamber. that is a ND. operator error. BTW a lot of the anti-Glock sentiment is in jest cause some Glockers are way to easy to get going about their little pieces of "Perfection".

Good point. I think Glocks are fine. Their history just doesn't inspire confidence, plus I'm really turned off by the "Glock Nation" koolaid. I personally had an XD and enjoyed it. I just couldn't get used to Glocks grip angle, but joining the MNPD in June I guess I'll have to learn to!

Good try, but XD's aren't exactly new on the block anymore. I would say Glocks have more AD's than say a Hi-Power, so sales numbers and market time are relatively irrelevant. One of the biggest issues for Glocks is the unsupported chamber, where most kabooms I've seen haven happened. Mainly in .40's. Deerslayer, you always bring up ND's.... those are always operator error by definition. We are talking AD's and those are the realm of "Perfection" and by definition solely the guns fault.

I don't worry about it. Some say it helps cover any legal issues, but I figure if it's that bad I'd rather have maximum deniability. Less is more IMO

Really like them. Don't own one myself but, my brother has a Marlin 30/30 and I've hunted with it a few times. I really like the classic lever gun.

+1!

Analyze all you want and it still comes down to a lot of AD's with Glocks and not so with XD's.

I have a 7.62x39 and 12g Saiga converted out. Really easy to do and excellent gun all round. Get one ......or many. You can get them in 5.56, 7.62, 7.62x39, .410, 20g, and 12g.

I had a FEG Hi-Power clone done in Gun-Kote and it was really nice. It is teflon impregnated which self lubricates. Doesn't mean you don't have to lube it, just don't have to use as much or worry about it as much. Personally, if I were to do it again I would have it Melonited. It just wasn't available then. You could also go with something like Black-T, but you'll have to wait and spend.

I think they call it a Gun Show and we have them all the time!

Here ya go! A FN Hi-Power in .40 S&W. What happened to your 1911 when it grew up.

That's because they work and are cost effective when hiding in a jungle or cave.

It seemed to work all right for Rambo! Anyone know where I can get some explosive tipped arrows?

As I've been going through the hiring process (BTW I start in June!) several have told me that that is exactly what is happening. It's not "racial" profiling, but profiling none the less. I understand the reasoning and can't argue that it can be affective, but it can also have a negative affect on public relations, IMO. If you are driving a nice vehicle in East Nashville, for example, you probably will be stopped. Be kind to the officers, they are more than likely just doing as directed.

If the moron remembers, there was a time without any handguns or guns at all. It was called the early Dark Ages. Now correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it one of the bloodiest times in history? Not to mention all the killing that went on since the beginning of time before that. I kinda liked Braveheart. Maybe we should remove all guns so i could carry a huge broadsword on my back or maybe a battle axe! Oh, yeah!

Just a FYI, our current Chief of Police thinks the best way to stop crime is by statistics. In other words the more routine stops you make the more legitimate criminals you will accidentally find due to warrants, car searches, ect. Not a bash and please don't go that direction, just to let you know why a Camero gets pulled over at night, ect.

It has the same safety as a revolver. Neither has gone off on their own without a deliberate trigger pull, that I am aware of.

Ask and you shall recieve!

Yes, but in the catalog from XS, they are listed and if you call you can get the Big Dots for the same price.

I'd rather get them from XS, than buy anything from Yeager. http://www.xssights.com/store/specialty.html

Absolutely great. However, and I hope to be proven wrong, but i doubt it will ever make a recruiting film.......it's too truthful and direct.
