I don't do many videos, because I'm not very good at them, but here is a short video of an M&P40 at 25-yards. I shot this video while shooting with my daughter, since we were the only people on the range that day. Not my absolute best group, but not too shabby either.

by off hand, I simply mean standing unsupported. In these cases, I also mean 2-handed... I have never been all that good at 1-handed shooting, strong side or not. The only correction to the claims in the pics would be the 1st picture at 20 yards should read as 10 shots... Not 15. In the...

Although it appears that my post above might be some sort of a brag, and I can tell you that that is not my intent. I simply wanted to point out the distances that I practice shooting, and the reason why, but now I'll tell you what has changed in how I now practice shooting handguns... I am 57...

Nearly all my practice is done in the 10-yard to 25-yard range. I even practice point shooting at those distances. My reasoning is simple... If I can accurately hit small targets at longer distances, then the short distance stuff becomes child's play. 20-yards, offhand 10-yards, offhand...

Ruger GP100 in .357 Magnum (Hunting setup) I'm not sure what I would be shooting to need more power than a .357 Magnum here in Indiana.

Years ago, I never really thought about grip angle and just figured that sight alignment was all that really mattered. I then started running moving steel targets and dueling trees and found that grip angle actually did mean something to me. What I discovered is that if I am trying to run a...

I owned two of the XD-m models some years ago, and thought that they were OK, but eventually sold them off for something new. Once the Elite version came to market i just had to try again, and I'm so glad I did. I love my XD-m Elite as much or more than most any gun in my collection of guns, but...

This review is almost exactly the way i would have done it. When he says near the end of the video review (5:20 mark), that "this is an absolutely fantastic evolution to the XD-m line", I have to find myself in complete agreement.

EDC you say?

Why, yes... Yes i would!

As someone stated earlier in the thread, "the X5 is at a whole other level". Can you just imagine how much better this 10-yard group would be if it were made with an X5 instead of an XD-m Elite? You might actually need calipers to determine the number of shots fired!!!

It is an example of marketing genius!

The most accurate of all my semi-auto pistols has been my custom SA 1911. It started life as a Loaded model, but all the internals were replaced, including the barrel and bushing. This eventually became the benchmark to measure all my other pistols against to judge accuracy. 15-yards unsupported

I posted a writeup in the XDTalk Forums on my new XD-M Elite 5.25 Precision, but the gist of it is that the new Elite is simply awesome! 25-yard initial sighting from the bench (5-rounds): 10-yard off-hand group for fun:

SA was able to reduce the price of the Elite series by not bundling it with a suitcase full of stuff that most of us don't need. My Elite 5.25 Precision came in a cardboard box with just 3 mags and a zippered gun rug. As for me, I'll take the savings over stuff!
