Shot a Glock 23C yesterday - Page 2 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

all u have to do is set your shutter to "bulb" or at least several seconds. then fire the weapon while the shutter is open. it works best setting the aperature at f/8 and the iso setting at 400. this should work with digital or film.

Yeah, the FEEL of the XD in my hand had me about sold before I even shot it. I'd borrowed two Sigs and two HK's from my friend to try them out. I liked them just fine, but I'd heard that the XD was a good buy, and I liked the idea of a grip safety and a trigger safety, so I decided to go back to the Range and rent an XD and a Glock and compare them. I picked up the XD and said "Ohhhhhhhhhh yeeeaaaaahhhhh...." it felt so frigging RIGHT. Better than the Sig or HK's that I'd shot the day before. So I rented it and it shot so well I figured for about 150 bucks less than the rest I couldn't go wrong. I didn't even try the Glock. I also typically don't go with whatever is most popular, so I was probably a little prejudiced against the idea of Glocks to begin with.

Muzzle flash is bad If you wanna see the Perp you are shooting at!
It might scare the PERP too!

thanks for all the replies

but... anyone have the guide rod in a 40 care to make a statement?

To answer your other question if you are still looking.....accurate plating and weapon does porting.

Oh, and Rob_M, I looked back at my posts and it sounds like I was cutting Glocks. I really wasn't, as a matter of fact you've got me interested in renting one at the Range to check them out. Me not going for a Glock doesn't have anything to do with me not liking them. I'm sure the reputation they have for reliability and accuracy isn't for nothing.
