Awesome pic, my friend. There is nothing quite like seeing a loving father with his child(ren). Keep it up, bro. Looks like the little one is signing, "I love you."

[quote user="kelA"] I thought the XD came with a mag loader. Is that just the XDm model that comes with the loader? [/quote] My Glock came with a mag loader but it doesn't compare to the uplula. I believe the XDs all come w/a loader as well.

Nice pickup, Professor. I handled the XDs before purchasing my Glock and liked the safety features on the XD but the Glock felt a bit better in my hand. Everything is a tradeoff, no?

Sorry guys, if some of you are insulted so be it. How do you think many of us here feel with these never-ending weapons threads that pop up incessantly. Not to mention the false bravado, the tortured Constitutional rationales, the blithe disregard of the toll guns take on society. Huntin. Fishin. Go right ahead

[quote user="Colin"] I read this thread with alarm. I am shocked at the macho fantasies of gun fans . . I would get all those things before carrying a heavy, expensive, unusable weapon that requires constant practice for some macho “ get to kill somebody for free” fantasy . Then I would move. [/quote] I find these two quotes simply detestable. Assuming that any one of us who carries has some sort of macho fantasy about killing someone is about as far from the truth as one may
