I just thought I'd show off my new gifts.
As I posted already in the Waiting Room- I originally got an XDsc as a birthday present for my concealed carry. My wife, however, discovered that it didn't have a thumb safety and vetoed that gun soon after I got it. She then suggested that I get the PX4sc instead since it had a safety. So now I got to add two more guns to my collection... and I even had her permission this time. :) I even got to order a supertuck holster. What a great birthday!

I still like the XD better though so, once she forgets about the whole deal, I'll probably start carrying it again.

Well whatever excuse you need to buy another gun...

The grip safety wasn't enough?

What caliber XD is that? How do you like it? I am leaning towards an XD now for my carry gun. I need to go give one for a spin.

The grip safety wasn't enough?

Believe me I was prepared to argue that all the way to the couch... until she suggested I get the PX4. Then I just nodded obediently and said "OK honey.. if that will make you more comfortable"

I love the XDsc. Mine is 9mm. It just feels good to hold. Not toooo small but conceals nicely. I have been wearing it every day at my work while I patiently wait for my plastic to get here. I have been building up a little muscle memory by drawing & holstering every time I go to the bathroom. I'm getting pretty good at making sure I dont touch the grip safety while holstering or drawing.

The PX4sc is a very nice gun too though.

It's hard to argue when your wife insists on you buying another gun. Good move.

The only thing I use the thumb safety for is decocking. Other than that, It's never on. So, if one has a hammer style DA/SA semi-auto pistol, the thumb safety for decocking is a must.

Other than that, why bother?

Congrats on the present!!

Congratulations.

You sly dog.

I need to try that approach.
