Pics of James' work
I know that this isn't the picture area, so if it offends anyone they can move them. I just wanted to put some pics in here so people could see James' work. I polished the barrel myself and I had James duracoat it and install the sights. The barrel is a little dirty in the pic's so don't let it fool you. Normally it looks like you're looking in a mirror.

Nice. Looks like James does good work, contrary to some people's opinions.

He does great work, I had my xd duracoated and some night sights installed.

This was about a year ago, and its only now starting to show wear and its my daily carry. Hopefully in 5 years when its time to have it coated again, he will still be doing what he does so well.

Looks good.. One thing I cant understand about those sights.. I wonder why they didnt make them come farther back on the rear sight instead of stopping at the dovetail... They could have gained 1/4 in sight radius.... They still look great.. How are they compared to stock sights??

Haven't fired it yet. It's gotta be better than the factory sights were. Anything more than 10 rounds through it and I couldn't see out of my front sight before. I hope to have some range time with it sometime in the near future, but all 3 of my shooting buddies are deployed......

Congrats on a fine piece of equipment

James is the most knowledgeable person in the
US of A on the HS2K/XD.

Check out his web site in the forum sponsor
section. While there, please look at the historical
background on the 'Croatian Sensation'.
