that was my thoughts when i first seen this round. mine is the same way, dont leave home without it! too many stupid people in the world.

i have been looking for a shoulder rig too. they dont really have too many options for my gun though. i had to order an IWB/SOB for it off of www.desantis.com it is out of NY. i had great speedy service from them. give them a look.

40 S&W Hydra-Shok® JHP

Products > Handgun Ammunition > 40 S&W Hydra-Shok® JHP

Federal Premium handgun loads are the best around. Hydra-Shok® is the first choice for many military and law enforcement officials across the globe, while Expanding Full Metal Jacket (EFMJ) is unmatched in non-hollow point technology. EFMJ provides higher energy, more reliable expansion, lower risk of collateral damage and reduced recoil—vitally important features for a personal defense round.

What is the most effective round for stopping power that is not going to break the bank?

I personally carry in my XD(M) 40 S&W Federal Hydrashocks like $26 for a box of 20. im also considering loading a mag with home safe rounds, forget the name of them but they are kinda like a shotgun load for pistols. wont go thru 2 sheets of drywall but will go into a person.

the streamlight is the next one i was going to get. i should have went with it to start but this Sig was like $100 less. $200 vs. $300+

dont know what happened to the pics! mine is model STL-900L it has the laser built into the light. it also has a strobe feature to distract the sucker the gun is aimed at.

what is a good tac light/ laser? i have a Sig Sauer again. the fisrt one i was sighting it in and the head broke off after like 6 rounds. i took it back and got a new one but havnt sighted it in yet. if this one breaks i want to get a different one but not sure what kind, any ideas? here are some pics of my springfield XD(M) 40 with light.

my baby!

Well i love the my Springfield XD(M) 40, but when i wear it inside the pants/ small of the back its kind of too much. its not bad when moving or while on the bike but sitting in a cage it sucks! Ruger SR9 is a great choice IMO, its light, almost no recoil, and pretty dead on out of the case.

I always told her i was doing her a favor.

sounds good thats about the time i wanted to get there. i know a pretty good brewery/ resturant in Berea. its not the biggest place but food and beer is good there. im getting divorced so i will have nothing but time to get to meet everyone.

stupid question and i'm sure it says somewhere in this thread but alot of posts to go thru, What time are most of you gonna be there?

I hate to be the sacreligious one who times out a good sheep conversation when it's just gettin' goin' , but seriously for a minute........

Since we're 3 weeks out tomorrow, let's take an updated, tentative roll call & see who's in for late Saturday afternoon, with dinner/drinks afterward. The following are ones who've expressed interest in this thread so far............

I'll adjust it accordingly as people chime in, & apologies in advance if I missed/forgot anybody. Just skimmed through the 100+ posts real quick

i know i'll be there planned on meeting greg there! looking forward to meeting everyone that goes.

i almost think i seen this bike last year flying down 77 or 76. nice chopper gl with the sale.

idiots like this is why my XD(M) dont leave my side!

I wasnt sure how i would like my Joe Rocket tank bag but its actually not too bad. i cant hug the tank as much as i would like but its kinda a nice resting pad for my chest plus my jacket cant scratch the paint. i guess when it all comes down to it it's rider pref.

As of right now im only street, i plan on making my way out to the track this year to learn.

Beer makes a huge mess if you bounce around alot. I filled mine with beer last year at Rumble on the Ridge and had shit pouring everywhere.

I use my FOX RACING backpack. it has plenty of room, a rain cover that stores in a hidden pocket, spot for a camel back, sternum and stomach straps! plus i have a JOE ROCKET mag tank bag if i dont need to carry much!

Divorce is a fucked-up experience :/

man i plan on partying when my divorce goes thru, not going on a shooting spree!

took my baby out for a ride today. i really like it but cant wait to see what it will do this spring. too much crap on the roads to play today. im wanting to go down to dragons tail this summer.

Thanks all for the feed back. i took my ccw course yesterday and fired my xd(m) 40 for the first time and it was great. sorry to say but in my opinion way better then my glock 19 9mm. the grips were awsome along with the shorter, lighter trigger pull plus 17 40 rounds, damn i want to go back out and play. i think my next will be the xd(m) 9mm. i was shocked how much recoil there was but i was use to the glock 9 i guess.

My brother has two, the 4in and the 3in of the .40 and he loves them and so do I. I plan on getting the new one (XDM) here soon in the 4in barrel. He said the 3in is a good CCW but for all round quality the 4in is great. He has never had a problem with wither of them. I love the sights and the feel of the weapon. The M will give you a few new aspects such as replaceable and cusomizable grips and gives you i think 16 or 17 rounds over 14 in the original XD.

I love the grips on my XD(M) 40 over the ones on the XD. its a 16+1 round cap. and the 9 is a 19+1 round. it will be my carry piece, nice big round lol

That's a great bang for the buck bike!

yeah i was looking for a 750 but i got a great deal that i couldnt walk away from.
