Nice, I got my first hand gun last year, an XDm 9mm as well. Very nice gun but I have'nt shot it in awhile as I can't justify spending $22 on ammo like I used to. Its kinda now been my pawn item for cash loans for another "hobby"

xd is a good piece. I have a pair of the 5" 45acp.

Hmm, 22k, seems like alot of money but I have that tied up in ammo right now, and triple that in the gun safe... Damn hobbies, get expensive!!!

ahhhh NEGLECT!!! haha i hear you. iv been using walmart federal cartridges for $9.95 per 50. haven't had any dead ones yet!

well, im meeting with the mechanical contractors saturday to install the 80gal compressor, lines, filters, electrical work, and ventilation system. Hopefully be operational sometime next week.

As for the orders, i think i would be willing to accept some through the website as long as it does not compete with mikes business. IE i wont be making people motor mounts. but any profit for other things will be donated to a high school robotics team!

ahhh iv shot all 3 but the .40 has a strange kick to me that i jsut cant get used to!! Wanted the .45 but i do a lot of range shooting so i figured the 9mm with some GOOD HP cartridges would be a good self defense gun AND whole lot cheaper in ammo cost

Well 22k was the cnc table, software, hypertherm plasma generator, air cleaning system, computer, and shipping.
