    Red dot sight

    Can't find any coupon in the box for my XD-M Elite OSP.... But I remembered doing it last time with my 9mm version and the coupon also directed you to a website to do it all... So a quick search I found the website and its based off the serial number, so I filled out all the info and my free...

    Powder River Precision Drop In Trigger Kits

    One more follow up.... I checked the clearance of over travel stop, with a piece of cardstock, it was too little, I had little to no overtravel... I filed down the over travel stop some more, enough to clear a piece of card stock... The break is much cleaner now, it makes sense, if don't travel...

    Hellcat Trigger

    I used the Powder River Precision kits on my XD-M's and like it very much. Reduced take-up, pull, over-travel and reset distance significantly, reduced trigger pull weight, smoothed out the pull and makes for a cleaner break. BUT, I never tried their Hellcat kit, so I can't say it will produce...

    EOTECH EFLX Red Dot Sight (Unboxing)

    I put an EFLX on my Desert Eagle .50AE, which is quite a lot of recoil to say the least. I've only shot it once so far, but have notice the EFLX was dimming the dot after several shots and I had to manual brighten it again. We'll see if this continues. No sign of trouble on my XD-M 10mm. No...

    Red dot sight

    Oh, loctite, there is ongoing debate about using loctite on the screws for the optics plate and RDS. I applied loctite directly from the tube and after taking it apart, I found there was quite a mess of dried gunk. I also stripped out one of my screw heads because it resisted unscrewing so...

    Red dot sight

    You want to get replacement screws for the plate to the slide, the ones that comes with your XD are prone to strip out, the torx socket in the head is too loosen and if any torque is needed the socket in the head will strip out. The ones in line above look like they are hex heads, Powder River...

    Review: XS Sights DXT2 Big Dot for the XD-S Mod.2 OSP

    My XD-M .45 ACP, I gave up trying to punch the sights out of the slide, sight pusher was no go either.... There is a specific XD sight pusher that no kidding uses a wrench to turn the screw to push the sights... I ended up cutting the sights out of my slide with a Dremel... So, on my XD-M Elite...

    XDm Elite 10mm 4.5 barrel, YOUR THOUGHTS!

    I'm very happy with mine. The two tone looks good, if you look close at my photo of the Cerakote job I did myself on mine, there is another lesson learned, even using the same color and batch spraying the same time, metal and polymer will be a shade difference in the tone of the color...

    XDm Elite 10mm 4.5 barrel, YOUR THOUGHTS!

    I found one guy that had multiple videos on the same pistol... I don't deny you have a legitimate problem with you pistol, and so does the guy on youtube. This may be a quality control issue and I agree Springfield should be doing more to address your complaint... That was not my experience. I...

    XDm Elite 10mm 4.5 barrel, YOUR THOUGHTS!

    And 180 grain is 56-65 gr more than 9mm. 180 is more than 78% of 230. We can differ over just how close it has to be to call it close or almost as much... ...perhaps saying almost as much as .45 is a little overstated, it is more than just a few grains... But the Power Factor and Kinetic...

    Update Roll Mark Question

    Again, MD State Police being professionals and servants of the public, decided going by model numbers was unfair and burdensome to the public and the board.... ....they now go by model description.... So an FN 509 is approved, it is also approved in different colors or for shorter grips and...

    Update Roll Mark Question

    My bet, any Series 70 1911 will never be approved. Series 80 added the firing pin block, not sure on CA, but I think Mass now requires any pistol to be sold to have this safety feature....

    XDm Elite 10mm 4.5 barrel, YOUR THOUGHTS!

    CCI / Blazer Brass 10mm, its has the highest Muzzle Velocity of the commonly available 10mm ammo.... Yes, there are others with even higher MV, but you likely won't find them on store shelves and they will be expensive.. For some reason, Federal that you usually can never go wrong with, is one...

    XDm Elite 10mm 4.5 barrel, YOUR THOUGHTS!

    One note on XD-M's and XD's, that grip safety, it locks the sear in place, so when the stiker is cocked the sear is locked if your hands are off it, so this plus the firing pin block assures if the pistol gets bumped, dropped, etc.. it won't fire unintended.... ...so the XD-M / XD is a true...

    Update Roll Mark Question

    Maryland instituted the same thing, but made the mistake of putting the MD State Police in charge of maintaining the Handgun Roster. So, much to the chagrin of anti-gunners passing the harassments laws, the MDSP doesn't play games and doesn't push and agenda, has the Board meet every quarter and...

    Update Roll Mark Question

    I don't know all the details, but as I understand it, California has a whitelist of firearms that are allowed to be purchased. If the firearms is not on the list, it is not legal to purchase. It goes by model number, so a manufacturer makes the slightest change to a firearm and create a new...

    XDm Elite 10mm 4.5 barrel, YOUR THOUGHTS!

    I'm a recent owner of an XD-M Elite OSP in 10mm, Cerakoted it in MAGPUL OD Green, like the Sportsman Warehouse Exclusive model, except I also coated the frame. I also installed the Powder River Precision Trigger Kit that really improved the trigger, shortened the take-up, pull, over-travel and...
