Re: Whats your "excuse"?
I read through this and see good replies but my question is simply this. If one were to answer and say they are in fact carrying a weapon, is that asking for trouble? I understand the right person would be ok but I'm asking strictly dealing on the words of the law. While doing my wally walk I felt l...

Re: To chamber or not to chamber
Try what I have done. With an weapon, assume one is in the chamber and practice drawing and cocking in one motion. Develop muscle memory so you don't have to think about it, you just do it. I practice drawing my empty XDM quite often. I slide the slide back and ready the weapon as if it would fire a...

Plastic in hand! Now to find a cheap-o IWB holster for my XDM until I get my crossbreed in.

Re: New member and Tom Estep student!
Well gentlemen, I checked my status and found that my background check has been completed and apparently "pending manufacturing" means they are printing it. Should be soon!

Re: New member and Tom Estep student!
Well gentlemen, I made my decision. After shooting a full box through each of my two narrowed down choices, XDM .40 and Colt Defender .45, I decided I am naturally more accurate and comfortable with the XDM. I noticed having to fidget with the Defender to get my grip right and had to think about bei...

Re: New member and Tom Estep student!
Is it members only tonight at The Arms Room because I might just stop by. I've been thinking about the XD .40 all weekend since I shot my buddy's and instantly became more accurate and faster at acquisition. I didn't realize how awesome they were. And as always the staff up there was super helpful w...

Re: New member and Tom Estep student!
I am so eager to become a better shot not just because I will be carrying, but I love to shoot anyway. And I'm always looking for a gun that just fits perfectly and is an extension of myself. My Beretta was something I got because I loved the gun and was already very familiar with it before I bought...

Re: New member and Tom Estep student!
I may have to take you up on that. Only hiccup is I have to take the little one to my parents since the wife takes night classes on Monday. I have seen one in person but the gentleman was carrying an XD. Concealed it very well but it's also slightly smaller all around it seemed.

Re: New member and Tom Estep student!
Thanks alot for the welcome guys. I plan to get my schedule arranged and start attending some meets to become a better shooter. Tom got me excited about the games and drills that are ran and I see that being totally worth the experience. The only hiccup I'm having is finding the holster that's right...

New member and Tom Estep student!
Well first let me start by saying Mr. Estep had nothing but praise for this forum and coincidentally I was lurking here last week and found his statements were on point. Lots a good info here and what looks to be a great community. Also, I'm on lunch break now from his class! I've been a Texan all m...
