Well I should prob be smacked by a pimp with a tiger stripe desert eagle in a purple suit,I just put a Glock 21 45acp on layaway Im buying it from Coventrys Gun Shoppe for $474 I did some research and I think thats a good price and a really good gun for the price.
Bad decission? The XD 45 was $619 uhh maybe for a Sig Sauer but an XD psshh.

You better look around. I bought my XD45 from Sportsman's Trading Post in Wintersville, Ohio for $500.00

Well i figured I would just buy the glock since 474 is pretty good and if/or when I get an armed security job id rather have that for my duty gun.
For sure I am going to buy the SA xd 45 compact my little sis is tiny and that would work really well for her.
North East Ohio sucks for getting good prices on guns since there are just not many stores around.
I wanna start my own store as a GUNS FOR NEWBS so that no matter what age you are you can get acclimated into purchsing and buying your own weapon. Weather its a pos hipoint to some 8000 Colt 1911.

I'm not sure what your talking about at the end of your post or who your talking to since you didn't quote anyone.

BUT!

Why wouldn't you try and fire these guns BEFORE you put your money into it?

Firing them would obviously make your mind up for you very quickly.

I have a XD45 and love it! It's accurate, has never failed, and the grip is so comfortable.

I'm thinking about getting a XDM9 because .45 is so hard to come by these days and I really want to spend more time training.

I got to fire the xdm during a recent self defense class and it crazy accurate. I managed to stitch a straight line with all holes connecting up the neck of a man shaped target at 9 yards. Yeah that's close, self defense range, but I've never been able to do that before.

After reading his posts I'm thinking English isn't Bustelo's native language.

Nope dude Italian and Spanish Mi Orgullo.

I decided against the Springfield at least for the moment because if I get a job doing OPOTA security hopefully,I will be able to qualify and use the Glock and not have to sell the SA just to work security.
But you are prob completly right but to each his own and self reasoning.
