I'm always game for a little gun porn.
Show you mine, you show me yours?

Sounds like a sweet rig.
Not a bad choice. Those things defy the laws of physics in my experience. I can get off quicker, accurate follow up shot with any XD than with the equivalent Glock, despite the higher bore axis. e
Don't ask me how, but it's as consistent as the tides.
I disagree with the conclusion here, a gun in this situation would most like have been totally worthless or at worst gotten you killed. There is no way in the mass confusion and rush of people running for the exit that you could have gotten off a clear shot without the danger of hitting some innocent bystander. Also, the dude was wearing a Kevlar vest so unless your packing armor penetrating bullets in your concealed carry gun it would not have made that much of a difference. Sure it might have distracted him but I’ll bet that he was so hopped up on adrenalin that it wouldn’t have slowed him down at all.
If guns had been in the hands of citizens, the killer wouldn’t have gone there in the first place.
This kind of slaughter is the result of the mind of a sociopath who is in most if not all cases severely narcissistic.
They don’t like failure. Armed citizens would have prevented this.
I was thinking yesterday that the reason he was, “Wearing armor,” was PRECISELY because we have CCW in Colorado.
Just a thought.
And that includes in low-light situations like inside theaters, or dark corners of all-night gas stations. That muzzle flash can work against you- if you aren't expecting it and it night blinds you.
Not all range practice should be on nice bright sunny days....
Oh you were there huh?
And 115 grain +p+ 9mm at 14000fps may pierce body armor lvl III and lower grades.
I have heard the same thing. The movie was playing in at least 4 theaters and the police were on site as crowd control. The Aurora police chief said police were on scene in under 2 minutes once they determined which theater was being shot up. Holmes didn't require much time to wreak havoc. This is a stellar example of the cliche “When seconds count the police are minutes away”
I don’t know nothing bout no bore axis, but my XDm .45 shoots sweet and it’s the most badass looking gun there is in my opinion.
That’s certainly a possibility.
But it seems more likely to me the guy wore armor in case the cops tried to shoot him.
The theater didn’t allow weapons, and in all likelihood he was aware of this.
I use the laser for off-hand shooting practice and single right hand practice. It takes no time at all to get used to having the striker release when the green dot settles on target.
No, black. I just can’t get into the bitones or justify the added cost. Love the gun, though. Have you seen the new XDs?
I read the XDs review on Hickok45’s YouTube channel:

Looks pretty sweet.
Gotta get the Wife a S&W 686 .357 first, though.
What can I say? She’s in love with the .357.
Believe it or not, I have a 681. Stainless with a 4 inch barrel and Pachmyrs. I carried it for a service weapon back in my reserve police days. I bought it used. It had some trigger work done before I bought it. It is the most accurate gun I’ve ever shot. I got the high firearms average in my academy class with it, shooting against much more experienced shooters. Love that gun, too. Okay, I love all my guns.
Alright, you shamed me into it. My first foray into picture posting. How's this for gun porn? At least I have one for very occasion.
Don’t post photos of your gold or guns. No one needs to see them. No one needs to know what you have...or they may want to come and take it away.
Man, I’m not stupid. Let em try. As far as the government, they already have a good written record of everything you see in that picture and they know exactly where I am, just like they know where you are and most likely everything you have, too. Don’t fool yourself. If you bought your guns through a legitimate dealer, they know. The smart person, after buying their main guns through a dealer, would then start buying used from individuals. Just saying.
