Crap! I Just Won A New Handgun...

[gglass]

You might be asking yourself why I said CRAP in response to winning a new handgun. I'll tell you why...

I just won a new Springfield XDm 5.25 9mm bi-tone Competition Series handgun. Although this is otherwise a great thing, the part that has me saying CRAP, is that I now have to stop calling XD's ugly. And, I have to stop making people second guess their non_USA made, Croatian-built gun purchases. This just ticks me off, because it was just so much fun.

Darn my luck! I just can't catch a break.

Dang son. How'd you manage that?

 

[paddling_man]

Now you're screwed!



Congratulations, btw!

I'd be happy to take it off your hands if it'd make things easier for you ....

Sorry to hear that.
That's one nice looking gun.
You can still call Hi Point ugly btw.

 

[Davis0023]

Congrats !!!!

 

[paddling_man]

If it's any consolation, the XDm's aren't nearly as blocky/ugly as the XD's. You can still call XD's ugly!

Wow! You're right! You sir, have just renewed my happiness with this whole endeavor. I can now continue with my ugly XD commentary on this forum... All is well in the world again!

A well deserved rep is on its way to you.

Man, it sucks to be you.

 

[3shots]

WOW Thats nice.

 

[JohnP82]

Very nice!! Congrats!

 

[Clay]

You can always sell it and buy something you like

 

[mainjet]

Congrats on winning the ugliest gun I have ever seen. I wouldn't wish one of those croatian built monstrosities on my worst enemy..

Just think how pissed off your going to be shooting that nasty thing. maybe you can put a rag over it while your firing it so other people at the range won't puke.

but seriously that was a sweet win!

 

[2cool9031]

Crap!...now you have to buy more ammo.

 

[esrice]

I now have to stop calling XD's ugly. And, I have to stop making people second guess their non_USA made, Croatian-built gun purchases.

Nah. Just use it as a cheap range toy.

I expect to see pictures of you tossing it in your toolbox in the back of your pickup truck, or letting your dog chew on it. The XD boys will flip!

 

[HandK]

I'd trade it!






Congrats!!

 

[Goodcat]

What a terrible thing to win. I can make fun of you now too! Ha

 

[gglass]

What a terrible thing to win. I can make fun of you now too! Ha

...And I would deserve it.

If I start recommending these things, I expect the fine folks here at Ingo to slap me silly.

 

[cornfused]

Ahhh they feel "alright" can't beat it for free! Congrats!
