[quote name='Erik88' timestamp='1352520677' post='842914']Also, did you see the pictures in the link above? Night and day in regards to size. [/quote] Had you read my reply in post #11, you wouldn't have asked this. kwe45919; I have held them, not shot one. I thought it was very nice, but like you, I've never been an XD guy. I've owned two .45's and a 9, and sold them because they just didn't do "it" for me. One, the 1911 angle is one I [i]don't[/i] like. I have become so used to the Glock angle over time, it's far more natural for me. Much more similar to my Ruger MKII .22. Two, the XDs really felt too small in my hand. I have pretty good sized hands, but fingers on the skinny side. So, the angle, size, and finger grooves on the Glock are perfect for me. I would still like to shoot an XDs, though, just to see.

[quote name='Erik88' timestamp='1352519238' post='842903'] I'm a Glock guy but the G36 does not compare to the XDS. The XDS is what the G36 SHOULD have been.[/quote] Please elaborate; I ask, because everyone that likes Glocks seems to think the G19 is THE perfect 9mm... and the dimensions of the G36 are identical. (I say "identical," because they both snap into the same inflexible Kydex holster in the same way. If they weren't the same size, that wouldn't happen.)

TJ, great thread showing the difference. First time I've seen them side by side like that. And, FWIW, I didn't think of what I posted as "raining on a parade." I was just asking about the excitement over them in general.

I fail to see the excitement about these when the Glock 36 has been around for YEARS, and holds one more round. I'm glad you love it; I just don't understand the "WOW!!!! This has NEVER been done before!!!" type vibe...

We have to come to a sad realization; America is a "fast food, MTV" society. The Republican party still wants to believe and hold fast to the idea that the same generation that has downloaded and stolen music for 20+ years has integrity and brains to care about issues. The Dems have figured out and accepted the stupidity that our populace is sinking into, and knows how to play it to their advantage. We still think Cronkite and Huntley & Brinkley set a standard for news that remains. Now, it's entertainment news; Colbert, et al. Unless we become more facetious, we will continue to do poorly.

[quote name='BryanP' timestamp='1352385742' post='841754'] Heh. Duffleblog - it's like The Onion for the Armed Forces. Great satire/humor site. [/quote] Yeah; I know that now. Thanks.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1352332169' post='841435'] I would have loved to hear kesava's answers to ET. Looks like that won't be happening. He's just around for the moment, stirring poop. kesava, you know that bed you made will slowly wither away, until it's nothing. Enjoy it, troll. [/quote] Is he a troll? He has 244 active posts; he didn't just join, he's been here for almost 3 years. True, not a terribly active member, for whatever reasons he may have. Does a differing opinion constitute being a troll?

Ralph G. Briscoe... izzat you???? Someone sure doesn't see the "phallus"-cy of their thinking...

[quote name='kesava' timestamp='1352310450' post='841097'] I think he's been doing a fantastic job. I'm a hard working American that believes in responsible gun rights. Not trolling, just sharing. It seems that most people who were pro Romney didn't see the fallacy in his economic policy. He Is out of touch. All of this anti obama rhetoric will subside when we see that he's been doing a fantastic job a the economy continues to recover and unemployment continues to drop [/quote]

Thanks, QD!

[quote name='BryanP' timestamp='1352297810' post='840959']I'd be more worried about the long term implications of two more Supreme Court appointments. [/quote] Ladies and gentlemen, we have a bingo.

What do they make the barrels with, that they poop at 6K? Or is that normal?

You seem to have omitted the scantily clad models...

Depends can be useful at any age... get well soon, hang tough, and try to go vote...

Do a search on kwik rnu (no space). You'll have an entertaining week reading all about him...

Never mind, I got it! Saw it was a .pdf and downloaded it. Thanks!!

Can't get the link to open...

[quote name='Dolomite_supafly' timestamp='1352119917' post='839313'] My most recent barrel is a McGowen so I followed their break in. They recommend the break in not to improve accuracy but to reduce fouling. I will say it is the cleanest barrel I have ever owned. It does not foul and has, so far, continued to shoot as well now as when new. Dolomite [/quote] Gordon, what is the procedure, exactly?

[quote name='Worriedman' timestamp='1352119289' post='839312'] History of Ohio being Republican, and, the coal issue will take Ohio into Romney's column this time. Have a compatriot there who is very active in the NRA and Buckeye Firearms, she keeps an ear to the ground on grassroots issues as part of her job. She has been telling me that the polls are way off in Ohio, and that the only place Obama is going to carry is Cleveland. she intimates that the rural areas are sick of Obama and his attacks on coal and resultant job losses there, with the certain knowledge that if he gets four more years then the budding natural gas industry will be knocked in the head too. Carbon (and the current Administration's hate of it) will beat Obama in Ohio. Plus, I think the mask slipped a little with the "Voting is the best Revenge" comment, along with the Savior's failure to wave his hand and cure the Northeast storm's problems are showing him to be a mortal more focused on photo ops and the election than balming their ills. I think Romney by a big enough margin that Obama's legal challanges will simply make him look like the sore looser he will be. [/quote] According to the poll, you voted for Obama, correct?

[quote name='RED333' timestamp='1352039580' post='838810'] That is a good sticker and we can only hope, and vote! [/quote] Like this guy? http://www.examiner.com/article/north-carolina-man-brags-on-facebook-about-voting-multiple-times-for-obama

I sure hope so...
