I just bought some cheap earbud headphones. Freaking best buy cheapest ones were $10 bucks! But I had a gift card I wasn't going to use, so still better than spending a buck at wallyworld.

A 1TB SATA drive, 80 bux.
E: Does that gun have two triggers, or is it a safety, or am I horribly misinformed?

Why is there a middle lever coming out of the trigger? And what is that lever button on the back of the handle?

grip safety and trigger safety

More detail:

Both the lever in the trigger (trigger safety) and the button on the back of the grip (grip safety) must be pressed inward for the gun to be able to fire (for the striker to be able to physically strike the primer). This is to ensure that the only way the gun can be fired is if there is a proper grip on the handle and a proper pull to the trigger. Getting something poked into the trigger guard won't do it, dropping it won't do it, and snagging the trigger on something while holstering won't do it (if you holster correctly). The gun does not have a true safety switch.

Wasn't a picture of my actual gun Bob, ACP all the way here!

Here's a picture of my actual gun. Mine does have a real safety (as without costs more, and I'd rather have a real safety as well) and from this side you can see the disassembly lever and stop lever.

Nice. I've never really liked striker-fire weapons, but Springfield does make a fine firearm. I think Yecti just bought an XD in 9mm ('cos he's a girly man).

Anyway, I've never liked beavertail safeties (the safety on the rear of the grip). I find them clunky and annoying, though I understand why they are there.

Also, be sure to completely strip it and clean off the crappy factory lube and redo it with Wilson UltimaLube, and spray a very light coat of RemOil on the springs and the slide to keep it shiny.
2010-04-05, 11:27 AM #1376
Yes I plan on doing that later this week!

I generally don't like these kind of safeties either, but the one on this is quite good. It takes virtually no effort to ready it, and your thumb naturally goes straight down into the thumb rest. Feels very...'natural'.
2010-04-05, 11:45 AM #1377
Lasermax makes a badass guiderod laser for the XD. It replaces the factory guide rod with one that houses a laser. The laser is only .5" below the barrel, and runs exactly parallel, so the shots are almost always dead on accurate. You might look into that, they're awesome. I want one for my 1911, but I don't want to pay their ridiculous price. The XD rods are cheaper by a hundred bux or so.

I actually just came here to post this. I bought an XD-9 a few days ago.

I bought it because it's cheap to shoot. I own a Glock 21 and 22 ACP, and a Colt Python .357...

I've always wanted to fire a Python. I've never even held one. I hear the wooden grip ones are fantastic to hold.

I don't really understand. You seem to purchase this music quicker than you ought to be able to actually listen to and process it. Do you parse through it real fast and discard the inferior tracks? Just seems like a music library that's increasing by 10-20 tracks every couple of days (in a fairly limited genre-range) can't possibly be full of songs that you really enjoy. Am I wrong? What be your music listening habits like?

I think he's preparing for some kind of nuclear holocaust or something.
He's got enough video games, music, and movies to amuse one's self for a really long time.

What? Seriously? Even if it did grow by 10-20 tracks a day, as long as those tracks aren't 40 minutes long he wouldn't have much trouble listening to them all. I've heard idiots make this argument again and again in regard to my dvd collection, which is only in the mid-hundreds.

"wow, have you actually watched all of these?"

"no, moron, I just get them as decorations."

It's like Clint Eastwood says in Gran Torino "even a numbnuts like you has to understand that a man acquires all of this over a period of 50 years."

I mean, do you seriously think someone incapable of listening to 20-30 tracks a day even? Jesus, I watched the first 5 seasons of The Sopranos in less than a week. It's really not that hard as long as you don't spend all of your time sniffing paint fumes and jacking off into a sock.

I think he was just asking if he likes any of his music, really.

I don't think anyone is arguing it's too hard to listen to at least 1 or 2 CDs a day.
2010-04-06, 11:27 PM #1391
no i absolutely hate all this music i buy

Maybe someday you'll realize that no matter how many death metal albums you buy, the genre will never stop sucking.
2010-04-07, 6:23 AM #1394
My question is simple, and both of you glossed right over it in your rush to be sarcastic!

I'm not implying that you hate your music, or that you don't listen to it. I just want to know, on average, how many tracks out of a 10-20 track CD become semi- to very-frequent listening items? Don't some get discarded? If not, the frequency with which you listen to a particular album would drop quite quickly, all song being valued equally. I'm assuming they're not, though, which isn't any kind of criticism, it really means that you'll have a higher number or tracks that fall by the wayside, countered by a higher number of really great, really good, ok, etc., tracks.

I've just been curious about this for a little while now.

I bought an external floppy disk drive so that I can back up the data that I have on 50+ floppy disks (mostly JKDF2 projects). I also bought a rechargeable battery station that comes w/ & charges 4 AA's & 4 AAA's (this is enough to cover my Bluetooth devices for my iMac & my remote controls for my Blu-Ray player & television).

Admit it. You could've still sniffed paint fumes & jacked off in to a sock several times over the course of watching "The Sopranos". That's just smart multi-tasking.

I agree. I listen to a lot of music. My wife & I also travel around a bit so we go through a lot of music in the car as well.
