So I'm looking in to a firearm for home defense that my disabled mother would be comfortable operating. She has shot gun before, but she has not had a lot of experience with them. I've owned two different xd 45s(the service model & the tactical 5 inch barrel) and she's shot them both, but she...
So my Performance Center Shield has finally arrived at my LGS and I plan on putting a Crimson Trace Laser Guard on it down the road. What are my options for a good holster that will work without the laser guard (now) and when I purchase the laser guard own the road. Will there be a loss of...
So I've been looking at crimson trace lasers while waiting for my shield to arrive at my LGS and although you can clearly see a difference in the brightness of the green laser over the red laser. I really don't know if the green lasers are really around $100 dollars brighter. I don't plan on...
Sounds like a plan SSGSAD. I actually ran in to a former coworker there while browsing through some of Bradis's inventory. This was my first time to Bradis and I was really impressed. They didn't have a performance center shield in stock, but they let me check one out that a customer had...
Sorry SSGSAD I tried to pm you, but I don't have a high enough post count yet. If you're still wanting to meet up out there. I plan getting there around 5. I'll have my 5 year old daughter with me so I will be pretty easy to spot I'm sure. My name is Andrew btw.
I was at BGF and Highsmith earlier this week and I was asking them both about the Shield and the xds. Neither salesman brought up the performance center model and I didn't see one in the case. I will have to make a trip out to Bradis tomorrow and see what they have for sure. I figured for $100...
So I've been looking at firearms for concealed carry purposes and I narrowed my search down to two firearms. The shield 9mm and the xds. I ended up deciding on the Shield to broaden my experience beyond Springfield. I've owned two different xd's in the past an I loved them, but I've read that...
Thanks for the information guys. I decided against the extended mag well, but I did find a magazine extension that doesn't require a new mag well. It's 16 rounds compared to the 18 but instead of having to buy new magazines the extensions bolt right on to the stock magazine. I think I'll just...
I am looking at a few options to add to the capacity of my Springfield xd 45 and I found a magazine that says it requires an extended magwell. The magazine will increase the capacity to 18 rounds. I like the look of the extended magwell(stainless magwell on a bi-tone xd) and I don't plan on...
On a side note. Does anyone else feel that the L1 fingerprinting location on the East side of Indy seemed a little shady lol? The workers were polite and professional, but the office definitely left a lot to be desired.
I have a small child in the house so my firearm is secured. I'm confident enough in my self defense capabilities that my first instinct isn't grab the gun in a stranger at the door or weird noise outside scenario(My main reason for having one is to protect my family if there's an escalation of...
I paid for my lifetime carry state fee and electronic fingerprinting on 02/24/2014. I got fingerprinted on Saturday 03/01/2014 and had to wait to pay my local fee at the Hancock county sheriff's department on Monday 03/03/2014. I received my license in the mail Thursday 03/06/2014. So it took...
Finances are the main reason. I decided to go with a decent carry gun over getting a rifle or shotgun because I can't carry a long gun everywhere. I plan on trying to tackle a build over the summer though. That way if we have another "assault" weapons scare in the near future I will at least...
