Well, finally, I got something I've been wanted for some time now:

I'll have better pics at a later date, but this will do for now:

Springfield XD-9 Service Model


9mm, autoloading, semi-automatic, 15+1 capacity, hammerless, full handle, 4" barrel.

This is my first handgun, and I was stuck between this and a Glock 17. Essentially, they are the same thing. After shooting both, I was more consistant with this model, and it was also more comfortable. Plus, people won't think I bought a gun just because it's what police carry.

Anyway, I know some of you out there have firearms, so let's see them. This particular one will have a few mods by the time I am finished, but it will also have some buddies joining it.

not bad, but you completly missed the target 11 times, lol. Oh and what I found out to be helpful is dont lock your arms (unless its the desert eagle cuz then the gun will kick back and hit you in the face) lol. Last time I went shooting i had a casing discharge right inbetween my eyes, had a halfmoon shaped cut. Oh and if you ever get serious about shooting, you might wanna get a gun with a longer barrel, makes it more accurate. My p22 is 'fairly' accurate, but I wouldnt put my life on it 2 hit a target. Its got a 3.5" barrel, and I got the 5" conversion also.

well, a couple of those are double-hits. it's hard to see in the pic, but i did miss a few times. but again, first day with my handgun. kinda excited, and 50' isn't exactly a walk in the park. i'll get better though. .
