Another new toy..., 1 was not enough. Options

[Mynzeyes]

Well, as some of you know, or remember, I recently purchased a Springfield Armory XD-9 Service model handgun:


9mm. Full grip. 4" barrel. 16rd clip. Auto-loading semi-automatic. Only addition so far is the Hogue grip in the 2nd picture. The laser is no longer there.

Well, it was good, but a deal came along that I could not pass up. So, I recently aquired a new XD. A Springfield Armory XD-40 Sub-Compact:

.40cal. 2-finger grip. 3" barrel. 1 normal clip(pictured). 2 high capacity magazines(which give a full grip). Night sights. I've also already ordered a Pearce Grip Extension for the standard clip.

It is approximately a 650+ dollar handgun. Also with it, I got 50 hollow-tip/self-defense rounds (31 Sheer, 19 Federal), and approx 150 range rounds. That's at least another 50+ dollar value. All for 400 dollars. Totally worth it.

Here they are together:

Awwww.

Anyway, I'm stoked. Hopefully I'll have my carry license sometime soon, seeing as how that was the main reason for this purchase. To carry it. Hopefully someone will give me the money for the course for my birthday or christmas.

So. Any update on anyone else's arsenal? .

john, you're as bad as I am. I'll try and get pics up soon.

I just finished getting parts ordered for my mak90. I'll have it set up with a 3-12 scope and a dragunov composit stock set up.

Will look something like this


only with the barrel a bit shorter and a different front hand guard.

I am currently debating on what will be my next project... I am either going to get a mosin nagant(russian ww2) to set up with scope or a 8mm mauser (german ww2) with the same basic set up.

I hear the mauser is regarded as -the- bolt action rifle of the last century, but I dunno.
