This is just a thought, but the grip angles between a glock and an XD are very different to my hands. I prefer the angle of the XD to the glock. Maybe shooting the glock and conditioning your self to that grip style will take some relearning for your hands on the XD. Keep shooting and it...

Mine is also 60-9.

Chasing Brass I bought my 625 on a whim. I'd been shooting 1911's for some time and decided I wanted to try a revolver. Well, after shooting it a few times I could not believe how much I liked it. So much so, I have not shot a 1911 in some time. Two things I really like about the revolver...

Yes I bought one for my wife about 8 years ago. Bought it used and it is still in great shape. I was just looking at it the other day and it dawned on my that is does not have the lock. It is a 2" barrel, .357. Don't like shooting .357s out of it, but with .38s it is a fun little shooter.

Good discussion. When I was shooting these, either the GP or the Six, I was reloading my own stuff and using .357 cases, but loading to .38 pressures. This helped keep down the fouling in the cyclinder. I don't plan on shooting the "heavy" stuff much, if at all. Maybe just once in a while...

Which one would be your choice? I'm in the market for a .357 and like the Rugers. I've actually owned both in the past and have since traded them for other things and would like to have one back. I like the four inch models and seem to be getting hung up on the fact that the Security Sixes...

Can anyone think of a way to block that lock externally. Like filling the opening with something, clay?, to keep the key from being inserted. Something not permanent, but something that would keep something like what depicts described. Just a thought. I've got the 625 that has the lock and...

I don't think you mentioned the intended purpose for the pistol. However, I can't think of anything you can't do with that Ruger combination; and I am saying that without any reservations towards Taurus guns. My dad carries a Taurus .357 (can't remember the model, 85?) and shoots it very well...

I had an XD-40 that I liked, but since have traded. I put on a set of Firesights. The factory sights were a real pain, and I cannot stress that enough. I ended up clamping it down and going at it with a hammer and a punch. Tried to pad the punch some, but really had to whack away at it to...

After having read the posts here I'd have to agree. I still enjoy my 1911, but I'd have to say that I'm moving more towards becoming exclusively a revolver shooter. Most due to the fact that it will handle almost anything I can stick down the pipe. I have also gotten into IDPA shooting so...

I just picked up a new GP100 and was wondering if anyone uses .357 in USPSA or IDPA and what your rig set up is? I'd be interested in trying ICORE, but nothing here in the Buckeye State. I currently shoot both USPSA and IDPA using a 1911, but thought the use of a revolver in .357 might present...

I'll try resizing a case without a bullet and see what I get. The brass is once fired by me in the same gun. I took a shooting class and was able to collect most of my brass. The bullets are Winchester JHP, I think I may have posted that incorrectly somewhere. I've had some suggestions that...

I wanted to try my hand at .40 on my Dillon square deal and have had a couple questions. I've had great success with both .45acp and .357magnum on the same press. But today after loading some .40 to try in my XD40 I discovered that the cases will not fit into the chamber. I have tightened the...

I was wondering what options I have in replacing the front sight of said gun. I recently picked up a used stainless 6" model and got it looking nearly new with some flitz, but the front sight is very difficult to make out at the range. I thought of painting it, but wanted to know if there was...

Ordered a set for my Springfield XD40. The local shop carries them, but was out at the time of my visit. Ordered them straight from Williams. Arrived in a few days and installed in less than 30 mintues. I had read a few horror stories about installing sights on those XDs so I didn't mess...
