RogerStout Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hey people, I am just getting into shooting. Good friend of mine introduced me to it and didn't take long to get the itch. I am slowly collecting all the gear I need should be good to go by spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisjarrett Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Welcome. This is a great place to start. Don't worry about collecting gear yet. Just shoot with what you brung until you try a few set ups. It will save you a ton of money. Don't ask me how I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerStout Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I have not gotten too much just yet. XDM 5.25 9mm and 6 mags, about it so far. I probably will make a move on a belt, holster and mag pouch set up soon to assist me in my dry fire practice. Probably go with blade tech for that.

JimmyZip Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Welcome. I hear good things about the 5.25. What do you think so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerStout Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I dont think I have enough experience to give you a good review at this point, purchased my first pistol just a few months ago (xd40sc). I shot a bow IBO for years so there is a lot on theory that translates between the two. I spend most of my time dry firing. With that said I have shot the only ammo I can get my hands on 115 fmj this is full power and though I think my grip is decent at this point I am having some issues dealing with the muzzle flip. I am sure this will be worked out in time and assisted even further with reduced power ammo. Couple points I can make is I love the feel of he gun I found it very reminiscent of a 1911, sight acquisition is fast with the front fiber though I will be looking for a smaller fiber I am accustom to a .019 fiber in archery and the stock fiber is huge (aim small miss small) . The trigger is going to have to go is way better than my xd40sc but it still has too much take up for me and too much travel. I am sure its something I can train my self to deal with but why do it when I can just put in a better trigger that better suits my natural style. This is all my opinion and being new you could just chalk this up to talking out my ass. I could completely change my mind in 3 months after I bit more practice.
