I did do a search but didn't find much at all. I'll try again. Edit/update: Nothing of signifigance comes up w/ the search engine.

I've heard good things about these sights from "The Box O' Truth" and over at XDtalk.com. Anybody using them in production or other divisions? Looking for any insight. thanks

How about that ?!? When exactly should that go through? That's good to hear.

This doesn't surprise me after reading the rule. However... I think the fact that you can add grip tape or a rubber sleeve (which are both ADDITIONS ) but you can't change the texture is somewhat hipocritical IMHO. I don't even want to stiple my gun that bad but that rule is a little off. Does any one else feel this way?

This may belong in the rules forum but I thought this would be a good starting point. I'm a newbie and am just wondering about stipling on my pistol for production class. Is it legal? Thanks

Thanks for the honest response Buddy. I just gotta try it!

Trying to keep this thread going... I still haven't gotten a good answer on why the 147's "feel" softer. Anybody out there know?

Hey Idaho- Please post pictures when you're done w/ the 3 gun cart. Nice web site by the way.

Also, anybody else have experience w/ XD's shooting high w/ 147's? I just got a XD 9 Tactical for production so I'm looking for any info on good loads. Thanks (hope I didn't hijack this thread too bad.)

I'm new to reloading pistol ammo. Why is the heavier bullet (147 grain) perceived to have softer recoil than the lighter ones, ie 115 or 125 ?

How much $$$ ?

Just got a XD 9 Tactical for production and am really enjoying it. The only thing I'm not completely happy with is the trigger. I know most people recommend Canyon Creek or Springer for a work-over, but for now thats out of my budget. Anything I can do to reduce travel, reduce trigger pull (this may be the wrong terminology - lbs. of pull is what I mean), etc. I design and work on prosthetics for a living so I'm somewhat mechanically inclined and fairly comfortable working w/ my hands. A formal trigger job by a professional is definitely in the future but for now, is there anything I can do? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Most of the people on this board are always friendly and willing to help. It is much appreciated!

Dustdevil- I like your set-up. where did the wagon come from?

After handling both, I went w/ the XD. Nothing against the M&P (except that it didn't feel like it was put together in a good solid fashion), but XD felt good and fit my hand fairly well. Went out and shot it this weekend... very fun. And that's the whole point.

Now that is a sweet cart! Is that the welding cart from Harbor Freight?
