Re: Just picked up my dream gun today.
You get like $300 worth of gear with it to in the gun case. You get a extended clip, regular clip, $100 tactical light, a gun holster and the clip holster and a ez loader!

Re: Just picked up my dream gun today.
Read up on it once!
http://www.handgunsmag.com/featured_handguns/xd_0722/
Its a really old article from a couple of years ago, but you get the idea. I picked up the .40 cal and they didnt even have it in a .40 yet when they wrote this.

Re: Just picked up my dream gun today.
That torture test is amazing. They shot over 17,000 rounds thru it b4 they even started the test. Then they threw it 100 ft down rocky hill then threw it against the cement. And that was b4 they even started the true torture test. That article is what got me to go get one.

Re: Just picked up my dream gun today.
That light is massive! I'm wanting to save up for the .45.
I'm loving the extended grip/clip.
A subcompact gun with a full grip is sick!

Re: Just picked up my dream gun today.
3 and 3/4 " long. It is the biggest one that they offer. Most lumens on the market, and it is white light. Facial recognition at 30 meters in pitch black. It is literally blinding.
It is like a damn spotlight, and the laser is soooooo powerful it is one that until you see it you won't get a true appreciation for it. I shoped around and when I seen this one I was like daaaaaaamn. truly quality.
I got it for bow hunting, it sucks walking in when it is darker than a sack full of black cats, and your'e trying to find your stand, and **** is running off, and at you, and then away. And all you can think about is the farmer telling you about all the cougars that he sees!
**** being nervous, I will click the light on, put the laser on his throat, squeeze off two, and call him underchin.(the cougar,not the farmer! lol)

Re: Just picked up my dream gun today.
Hey, you edited! lol
My friend just bought that exact same one. He loves it. First and only handgun, he shoots very, very well with it also. Point and shoot ergo's are the shizzle.
