    What do you do when a stranger is at the door?

    Our dogs usually do most of the intimidating. When though they are small, they sure have big barks. We have a little slide lock like what they have in hotels so we can open the door slightly and have some safety. If they look suspicious, then I usually have one hand on the panic button for...

    Pistol Boxes/Safes

    I just received my gun safe today. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=282585 Secure - It® Handgun Storage Safe. My XD40 4" fits just perfect. I decided to leave this one in my truck and get a separate one for home. For home I got the The Secure Vault Electronic Top Load Vault...

    Pistol Boxes/Safes

    I ordered this portable safe a couple of days ago. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=282585 Secure - It® Handgun Storage Safe. I like it cause it's small, portable, safe, and no batteries. Plus, it was well within my budget :)

    Gosh, I hate to ask the question (Glock vs XD)

    I like the feel of the XD over the Glock. The safety features were important as well as the overall quality. I hope I never have to use it for home defense, but if I do, I know that I will be grabbing a weapon that is going to work and that I'm comfortable with. Shot my XD for the first...

    Springfield XD40 finally arrived!

    I wish I could go closer or farther. This range only has the one distance at 25 yards. I have to stay behind the wall and before the yellow line they have. I'll ask if they have another area closer or farther ;)

    Springfield XD40 finally arrived!

    I really tried to mix it up. First set took my time. Second set of ammo fired quickly and last set for accuracy. If the weather is cool next week, I'll go out again. The range I go to by work is outdoors, but covered. If I could hit it at 25 yards, anyone can :)

    Springfield XD40 finally arrived!

    25 yards looked kinda far. I was thinking, hmmm can I even hit the target, lol :banghead: Guess my Lasik surgery paid off :)

    Springfield XD40 finally arrived!

    Hey DZL HOG, it was definitely a first good experience and impression for me. The target was at 25 yards.

    Springfield XD40 finally arrived!

    Just back from the range during my lunch break. I was pleasantly surprised at the easy recoil and accuracy of the Springfield. I've been to the range before to shoot my shotgun, but I have never ever shot a handgun before. Here are my results and pics of my XD40 right after shooting. Shot a...

    Springfield XD40 finally arrived!

    Thanks for all your valuable feedback! Yes I do intend to shoot, shoot, and shoot until I'm comfortable with it. I will be signing up for a two-day class in September to go over the basics and the laws of carrying a handgun. I won't be customizing it. I've been lurking around here before...

    Springfield XD40 finally arrived!

    Yea my 11-day wait period is over and I finally got my XD40! Wish I could go out and shoot it this weekend, but I already have plans for something else. I'm a novice. It's my first handgun. For home defense, my first weapon is my Mossberg 500 shotgun. I plan on cleaning it and...

    American Rifleman?

    Just signed up for the NRA and ordered the 'American Rifleman' with it. When I got my Mossberg 500 this past Sunday there was a discount card for the NRA for $10 off 1-year membership.
