Bored, so I took a pic - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

My plinker and XD. I just got myself one of those DSL-R cameras and thought I'd take a stab at one of these shots. If nothing other than cure my boredom, I hope this exemplifies the looks of the XD (as opposed to those ugly Glocks..). Critiques and comments welcome!

Nice pair. How reliable is the Walther?

Funny you ask. I just got this thing and haven't even shot it. No time in my life to enjoy my toys.... As far as reliability, I've heard some pretty bad things about them, but for some reason I went out and bought one anyway. But when I find out I'll let ya know!

I shot one before...really fun to shoot, but the .22 casings stovepiped an awful lot. Totally fun shooting; great double taps too.

do you have a round in the chamber of the xd in the pic?

**HPD SRT** · 08-01-2007, 12:10 AM

How much was the Walther?

you will love the p22! it is picky when it comes to ammo. the p22 dosn't like HP's very much and has a lot of feeding problems. GREAT PICTURE!!

p22 is a great gun with the remington brass plated value pack never jams but with federal ammo it jams almost every round

I was looking at the P22 for a little plinker gun. I see them all over this board for a cheap gun to shoot. I'm still holding out for the conversion kit for the XD.

What are the camera specs? I'm running a D50...

Mikey · 08-01-2007, 05:40 AM

I've been reading that these P22's are really choosey with ammo. At least any extra ammo I get from figuring out what the P22 doesn't like will get eaten up by my 10/22.

You must have noticed the pin indicator. I racked the slide back to check the chamber and didn't decock the gun for the picture.

I know CA has generally higher prices than other states. I got it on sale for $280. Normally I find them here for $330.

How do you like your Nikon? I was on the fence between a Nikon D80 and a Cannon Rebel. I ended up buying a Cannon EOS 350D (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos350d/) in a trip to Japan when I was there last May. It's an equivalent to a Rebel XT but for some reason Europe and Japan renamed it. I like it enough, but the lack of spot metering bugs me.
