My new toy..., Here's mine, let's see your's... Options

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.

I read this off of wikipedia's listing for desert eagle-

"A popular misconception with the Desert Eagle is its recoil. Many assume it has an unforgiving kickback due to its high caliber and large size; however the Desert Eagle's recoil itself is not the main problem, since the weapon's weight actually softens the impact of the discharge. The slide on the weapon fires back violently and resumes its original position with authority (the "click" and "clack"), which produces the harsh recoil-like action."

ya thats pretty true, but you cant deny the raw power. The barrel is i would guess about 10 or 11 inches, i'll measure it when i get home, cocked back like I had it is about 13 to 14. The gun weighs 5 lbs, and its a 7 round clip. The bullets are about 2 inchs long and they have a little bit larger diameter than a marble. So myn, If you ever come down here towards Miami let me know, we'll go shooting one day. My only advice if you get the chance 2 shoot the DE is lock your arm and have a sturdy stance. My friends gf shot it and almost fell over, hahaha. And scooby, whatcha mean +p? I never heard of that or maybe im just retarded, lol.
