SNARK!!! The Herald Angels Singing

[Moosez45]

Dumb question. got me first pistol yesterday. It came with 2 mags. I bought 3 spares. The 3 came first and I loaded em up with 115 gr fmj federal champion. Then with the two mags that came with it, I loaded those with 147 gr jhp ammo. Well those mags rattle when fully loaded, the other three with fmj rounds do not. Is that normal? Yes I verified they are the same caliber. I haven't got to shoot it yet but I'm worried about feeding issues.

OAL is different on the two. Just do an Austrian stomp, should square it away. Austrian stomp is where you lightly tap the bottom of the mag with your hand, it allows the rounds to settle themselves.

My XD mags rattle no matter what I put in them, but when they go in the gun, and pressure is put on that top round, its solid as a rock. I can take one round out, and no rattle, but 13rds in my mag, I sound like a morraca walking down the trail.

Nice pistola by the way, CZ makes some good stuff, and that, is one of the most popular models.

Won't know till tonight. I don't have my ccw permit yet so it sits at home

Nice! I didn't realize you got the decocker model when you'd posted about it before.

I like that better than the safety.

Hey, that one has my serial number on it.

Better return it, or I'm call in the cops.

Got your edge on it too. You should see what it did to an ergo chair!

How you liking your XD? What caliber? Any problems so far?

XD is on my short list to buy

Wow, speaking of post 666:

666 is when I declared my desire to purchase an XD. Hmmmm....

the xd series is my favorite. I love my XDM 9

Love it. 45ACP, are there other calibers?

Not one single problem, no FTFs of any kind to speak of, accurate, reliable, and tough'rn a wrought iron baby crib.

Get you one, you will not regret it.

i believe they make them in 9mm and .40 S&W at the very least.... they sure do in the XDM 5.25 line, which i lust for...

the M in XDM is for "match"; not too shabby for a polymer gun

double stacks, even in .45, more rounds than you probably need...

 

[Qeth]

Yep on the different cals. Tried out an XD (XDM's are not CA compliant) single stack, 4" 40 cal yesterday. Fun stuff. I want to try out their 9 and 45 for comparison in the next couple weeks. I'm 80% on the XDs, but I'll be bang (heh) some other kinds before I settle down.

 

[Skystorm]

Damn Cabelas and their free shipping, pretty well stocked on 22 and 9mm, You can fit 6500 rounds of 22 in an ammo can. Now I just need to replenish the 6.8 cans.

 

[Qeth]

Damn Cabelas and their free shipping...

This is misinformation, sir!



















Their shipping is $0.01 (until March 6)

I like the XDM, but the "match" trigger is spongy. I like the regular XD's, tough as a Glock, ergo's of a 1911.

Awesome, I appreciate the feedback.

BTW, the Feb challenge hasn't been judged yet, but do the powers that be know what the March challenge'll be?

The contest doesn't end until tonight at midnight.

March will be prolly something with building sand castles, or spear fishing. Prolly something like that.

ain't it just awesome how you buy something, hypothetically speaking a new pistol, and all you wanna do is shoot it, however the universe, in all her bitchiness, likes to take a dump on your chest, and makes it pour the day you get it, no range for you sir, the next it makes it your little brother in laws birthday dinner at a stupid restaurant two hours away, no range for you again......I think I may just start making the neighborhood cats the my targets. Lets see how much whiskey it will take....

"If it ain't rainin', we ain't trainin'"
"How come we never roadmarch on pretty days?"
"Seems like the sarnt only wants to go to the field when the weather's shitty"
"I don't know, but there an 80% chance of rain, and 100% chance we'll be out in it"

Just somethings I've heard before.

Go shoot it. Build you a little shelter to shoot from.
