I'm doing the same thing and am down to an XD40 which has a sale pending and my Dan Wesson 1911, which I will be keeping.
My wife and daughters don't care for semi-autos and I have always preferred revolvers.
Good information in this thread. I have 1,600 rounds of 9mm and am mulling over...
Chilibreath, OP here.
I appreciate your insightful and level-headed response and also for not accusing me of being lazy or giving up because I don't enjoy shooting my 642 and am not that proficient with it at long distances. To each their own. I'm never going to need to hit an eight inch steel...
Thanks for the report! I held one in 9mm for the first time the other day and liked it quite a lot. I have three XD pistols; XD9 SC, XD9 4" and XD40 4". I'll probably get an XDs in 9. The .40S&W is due out early next year.
JJE, sounds like I'm going the same direction you went. I chose the 642 partly because my wife did not want to carry a semi-auto,so I bought her the LCR, which she likes. I carried it from time to time and then got my 642. I quit carrying my XD9 SC shortly thereafter.
I'm thinking both my wife...
You all are correct. Practice, practice, practice. I do this on all my other guns. It's probably time for me to go back to me XD9 SC or get the XDs9.
I like revolvers. I have a 4" 686 Plus that I love shooting and am very proficient at. Guess I'm not a J frame guy.
Thanks for all your input.
You are correct. I don't shoot the gun near as much as I should. I probably need to upgrade the grip. I just never warmed up to it. If that's an excuse, so be it, but the XDs 9mm is probably my next gun. Even if I become proficient with the 642, it still only has five shots, and I don't want to...
Went to the range and shot my obligatory 20 rounds of FMJ 130 grain from my 642 with the standard grip. As usual, my hand hurt like heck afterwards. My wife has a Ruger LCR .38+P that is not quiet so hard on the hand but still not enjoyable. I can't hit the broad side of a barn with my 642. I...
This is waaay of topic, but when I hear someone say "I was born and bred" in such and such state, it makes me cringe, and I am embarrassed for them. Animals are bred. I'm pretty sure they meant to say "I was born and raised." A girl I know proudly proclaimed she was born and bred in Texas. I...
It's amazing how some of these guys can stay in business so long. He's been around at least 30 years. Our town is not huge; maybe 8,000 proper and 60,000 in the entire county, but we have a lot of traffic from the towns farther out that drive through on the way to the DFW metro. He must survive...
...correct way to spell it, calls him a bunch of names, and goes into a tirade. My friend finally tells him he can take his rifle and stick it up his **s!
Last story. same guy. An ATF agent comes in for a routine look at the books, and this guy is convinced he is part of an illegal sting...
MC, our 200 acres is NW of Fort Worth. My BIL built a beautiful 16x4x4 aluminum frame and cattle panel trap with guilletine door and has been running a very successful wildlife feeding program with it. He has some awesome deer pictures but not much else to show for his efforts.
We have...
+1 You need to be very careful about calling CPS in any situation. Have your facts straight. Remember this as hard as it is to grasp. It is not against the law to be a bad parent. It is against the law to be a neglectful or abusive parent. We have lots of bad parents out there.
I worked with...
Well, you all brought up many of the same reasons I prefer them over semi-autos. There is one other big reason I prefer them that was not mentioned unless I overlooked the post.
When you are selecting personal defense ammo, you don't have to spend a ton of money to see which bullets will...
I'm 48 and been shooting and hunting off and on since I was in my teens. I have owned many semi-auto pistols in polymer and steel; 9mm, .40S&W and .45 ACP. I have owned SA XDs, Rugers, S&W M&Ps and other brands. I can never warm up to them and eventually sell them. However, I have a 686 Plus 4"...
I've shared my thoughts on the FN made Model 70s many times on this forum. In my opinion, and the opinion on many others on this forum, the new Model 70s are excellent rifles. They are just as good as the pre-64 models. I might dare to say they are even better in some cases. I have a friend who...
