: My birthday present =)
: techb January 30, 2015, 01:06:27 AM
We where initially saving for a 3d printer, but some sketchy shit has been happening at work and I've also been wanting my concealed carry permit for a while. Well, today we finally did it and I'm a proud owner now.

Springfield Armory XD.2 9mm

Also got the pocket knife, made by Gerber. We are going up on the hill tomorrow and empty a few clips.

Eventually, but we live in a very rural area, a short trip into the woods and we can shoot till we run out of ammo lol. Even where I work I can shoot and probably will this week just to pass some time.

I don't believe you lol. Besides, I'm not single so something like that could never happen in reality.

Thanks, I was going to get a 1911 cause I like the idea of a .45 but I went with the 9mm. 15 +1 round clip and it's small enough for a carry gun. I will eventually be getting more guns and will post as I get them. This is the first gun and even pistol I've owned so I'm pretty excited.

I'm sorry, am I the only one really excited for $Clone's lightsaber above his office example? (Real or not that's the first thing I noticed)


Secondly, grats on the permit and gun! When I heard gerber I know it's not but I thought of the baby food company and thus promptly thought of a rambo like baby handing out knives.

It seems nasty for a birthday present though... but it could also be much useful.
Happy Birthday!

Yeah, it's a bit more than "you'll shoot your eye out"  ;D

Nice purchase bro. Deepcopy's also got an XD in .40.
If you wanted .45 ACP, you could have gone with an FNH FNX .45 Tactical. 15+1 capacity, high-profile night sights, threaded barrel, DA/SA trigger, decocker, rail, and you can add an RMR on top, too :P
It's the gun I'd get if it became available here in Pakistan. Also, it's expensive.
And it's magazines. Not clips  ;)

Can we take a moment to appreciate this reference? I love this book.
...Okay, besides that, the UK seems to have some pretty harsh laws about carrying weapons around. Idr exactly, but it *should* be possible under certain circumstances. Although I think they were weird ass circumstances my mind isn't working right now.
@OP - I spent 2 years training with a gun just to be told it's illegal to own one and not be a part of the police/military (but classes are okay?), so I really envy y'all right now. Anyways, sounds great though. :D

I love the XD. I have the 40 cal tactical which is a 5" barrel. Must say I love it.
