Springfield XD .45

Just went out with my brother today and tried his new XD-45. What a nice pistol! It was smooth, accurate and a pleasure to fire. Minimal recoil, good accuracy, weight was pleasant and it was smooth and sooo fine. (darn, no drooling smiley?)
I also checked out my new .30 .30 Marlin Lever Action. That was a very good purchase as well. Accurate, a good weight, easy to load, and use.
And I must say that even though my Taurus Millenium 9mm ended up with the safety breaking, This was a very joyous day!
Don't get me wrong, I have had the Taurus for Eight years and probably put approximately 20,000 shells or more through it, it has always been a good and reliable weapon.Fortunately I can get that repaired pretty easily.
If you haven't tried an XD yet I encourage you to do so. They are a very good pistol. I will probably be getting one in the future myself. At least that will be my next choice for carry unless I can find, or be shown one which is better. :drool:
(ok, thanks Jeff--found it this time around - drooling smiley)
