Howdy y'all. I am a Marine in Camp Lejeune, NC, and I am thinking about joining the NC State Troopers when I finish my eight. Thats not far off. Now I have been watching alot of the caught on tape shows, and seeing the police shootouts. I know that it only happens once in their lifetime, but it still happens. What I am noticeing is a lot of times the officer draws, fires, and has a malfunction. I dont know if it has anything to do with proper maintenance, the situation and how they fired the weapon, or what other factors could have affected the situation. What I do know is that I do NOT want to be in that situation. I carry a Springfeild XD .40 for my CCW. And I am carrying a full size carry model. I am concerned about the reliability of it. I know springfeild is a good company, and I know the XD performed in the tests. What I am askin is if any of you have a different veiw on it. What are y'alls opinions? I am also looking to buy a new gun for CCW. Keep in mind I am on a Marines salary, but I dont want a hi-point. :banghead: Other than a big fat negitive on 9mm, I am open to suggestions. Thanks and Semper Fi!
