So over the weekend I went down to a little store in Owensboro KY - Whittakers Guns to buy a CZ rifle... I picked that up but found a deal I couldn't refust. I purchased a SA XD 9mm Tactical for under $415! Seemed like a good deal to me... I have been looking to replace my Ruger P95 for a while, but hadn't made up my mind.

I have not really been a fan of the wondernine class of guns since I bought my first 1911 a year ago, but the XD seems to be a really well put together gun. The grip to me feels pretty instinctive like my 1911. I also like the 5" length due to a longer sight picture which typically leads to better accuracy. The frame to slide fit is also nice, somewhat comparable to a 1911. No disrespect to Glock, their is a reason they are the 800-pound gorilla, but I just don't find them very comfortable to handle.

Anyway... I have a couple questions for you guys...

First I want to add a light/laser to the picanty rail. What is the best one out there, the Streamlight M-6X? Is it worth the extra money for the power over the older 6? I heard Burris was coming out with one that looks pretty cool. Any info. on this? I would like to use this to hunt ***** and 'Skrats at night in KY (it is legal).

Also, anyone have the magwell and bump pads? I think I might be interested in this if people like them. I like them on my 1911.

Thanks from a new XD owner!

Got no answers on your questions. but someone will be along I am sure. Welcome to the forum, you will like that Tactical, I sure like mine.
I have a CZ-527 in 7.62x39. A excellent "plinker" for when I am not using a SKS or MAK90. What kind of CZ rifle did you get? oh yeah, mine has the set trigger. Excellent!

I got a cz american .22 LR... Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but it gets rave reveiws by other owners... I have to admit, the bolt feels like it is running over sandpaper, I might have to take my dremel to it... But it should be a fun gun... Ran 10 rounds through my XD last night not one malfunction. More than I can say for my Kimber Team Match which cost almost three times as much.

Whittakers is great! Look to Ajames and Old School for all you goodies!

Your Kimber won't fire 10 rounds without a problem? :shock:

My kimber runs great.... Now anyways... The problem with 1911's is that they require a break-in period (around 500 rounds). I had one FTE during my first magazine in my team match. After that I probably had half-a-dozen through the first 500 rounds... Since that I don't remember any failures. I love that gun, but have to admit from a reliability standpoint, the wondernines are probably better than 1911's, especially if you take into account the price.
