chevysoldier Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Have had a m&p and have 2xds like the xd much better. M&p was weird to take down didn't like the fact you had to use that little rod to flip a lever to take it down. Good choice on the xd.It's a safety design so the trigger isn't pulled during a field strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 It's a safety design so the trigger isn't pulled during a field strip.Because it's such a big deal for an already safe gun owner. Seriously though, safety features and reliability were a big factor in my picking the XD. The need to dry fire the XD to field strip it isn't a big deal, as long as the person stripping it is safe, and checks and double checks to make sure it's unloaded. From what I've been reading from much more experienced gun owners, dry firing isn't a big deal on most modern pistols. On the XD, excessive dry firing can cause damage to a $5 roll pin.I like the fact that I don't need any tools to field strip my XD, others like the fact that you don't have to pull the trigger. Personal preference, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I like the fact that I don't need any tools to field strip my XD, others like the fact that you don't have to pull the trigger. Personal preference, I suppose.on my 1911, the different parts of the gun are the tools you need. for example, you use the hammer strut to push out the mainspring pin.

Personal preference, I suppose.Accidents (read negligence) happen, to experienced gun owners too. I also don't need any extra tools, it's the grip pad pin and in the butt of the gun anyways. I told you about the guy that shot himself in the leg.vVeteran gun owner cleaning his gun. Put it back together, tested for proper operation. Had done it thousands of times. Made sure it loaded a round in the chamber, he got sidetracked then pulled the trigger to dry fire and shot himself. That's why the M&P was designed that way.

Tonik Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 my buddy was looking for night sights for his glock 36 and they wouldn't sell them to him said they would only sell night sights to cops.That is really weird. My kid bought his Glock 19 there, and had night sights put on by them when he bought the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kid bought his Glock 19 there, and had night sights put on by them when he bought the gun.I found it quite strange too but who ever the guy was at the counter wouldn't sell them to him said they were a waste of money and designed for cops shooting up to 75yds maybe he was hitting a pipe that morning or they just didn't want the sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Using the tool to tear down m&p is only necessary if the gun has magazine disconnect safety if you do not have the magazine disconnect safety then you don't need to use tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Mines new with zero rounds down it. Maybe once it breaks in it might be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I just bought a Bersa 380 with a case, leather holster, extra rubber grips, 9 round and 7 round mags and a cleaning kit for $320 shipped so there's an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Almost bought a bersa 380 cc model sunday stainless nice gun guy was asking 300 for it used. Ended up getting a 738 instead. Let us know how that bersa works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I have a Bersa Lusber 844 7.65 (.32) Good little gun, pretty heavy for the size though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah they are all metal frame. The one I was looking at was on the heavy side. That's part of why I got the 738 only 10.2 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 When breaking down my 738 I actually use the magazine to pull the pin. I use the thin curved piece of metal at the very top to slide between the frame and the pin. works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
