Originally a Beretta 92 (Duty Gun) and carried a Seecamp BG, then carried a Glock 26 BG. Now I love the Glocks especially in .357 SIG, but the .40's are great too. I think a G23 is also in my future.

I've got a Charles Daly Defense AR15 and one of their High Powers. Quality stuff at good prices.

I'm actually picking up one of the M5 Ultra X pistols in 9mm as soon as they are available (the website says they are available, but as of yet the 9mm version has not cleared the BATF for importation).

I too love Cigars and have a humidor full ready to smoke. I love Padron Annivesarios (maduro) and CAO's. I may have to light one up tonight.

The last cigar I smoked was yesterday. A Bolivar (Habana). Today I'm leaning toward one of the Rockey Patel Old World Signature Torpedos (D.R.) in the humidor.


DISCLAIMER: Any representation that I may have at some point in time (yesterday) been in the possession of a post embargo illegal Cuban cigar is explicitly denied. Further, any inference that I may have more stashed away is further denied.

If I smoked Habanos, and I'm not saying that I ever have, a Bolivar Belicosos Finos is pure heaven! And the Habana Cohibo Robustos are nothing to sneeze at either!

And when I want to slum a bit, there's nothing like a Padron 4000 maduro!

Hehehehe.... For us here with short memories, this was the OP's question: Anyone else fall victim to the polymer hand cannon?
Of course the XP fits into this category and I was making sure that, number one... I was answering his questions and number two… he knew that there were choices other than the Glock. As far as you comment about some people come here to learn about firearms..... Somebody railing on about a brand that he is locked into carrying by his higher-ups is hardly an informed teacher. I have all types of firearms to choose from and I choose the XD. As far as you being against firearms that have safety devices, well.... that is troublesome to hear from "one of Indy's finest".

If the OP decides to buy a Glock I'm sure he will be well served by it as long as he is careful with his ammo choices. I just hope he doesn't fall into buying what is trendy rather than examining what is available to him. There are many fine firearms out there and they don't all come from Austria.

It wouldn't have changed things. He unholstered the gun and pulled the trigger. I used to use a gun with a thumb safety. I practiced dropping the safety as I drew. It happened automatically. When the gun was on target, it was "hot". Otherwise, it is a club. This makes a Glock and any other safety laden gun the same. You will put it in the condition to fire with the draw. It won't go off, unless your training doesn't include keeping your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

I also get tired of the exploding Glock comments. I've seen pictures of almost every make and model of gun that blew up. Just like saying too many 10/22 are finicky with ammo, when you have millions more guns out there than other models, you will see more ugly ducklings. I haven't seen one that was proven to be something other than an unsafely high charged round. That will blow up any gun, polygonal or not. XDs will do the same thing.
