I don't compete with most of my carry guns. I bought the G34 for competing, but also carry it from time to time. It functions like some of my others, so it's easy to transition between them.Quote:

I usually practice with my XD .40 about every other month with about 500-600 rounds but it's still not enough. If I can find steady employment I'd be able to practice more regularly and more often. Just remember to practice with the same holster and gun that you carry instead of one that is more comfortable at the range.
I use the same holsters for carry, range time and competition. :thumbup:
That's great! I'm currently trying out different holsters for my XD. It's kinda hard to find anything that works well. I either print, or I have it so concealed it's hard to get to. They don't make good holsters for XD'sQuote:

One thing I have noticed over the years, from open carrying and concealing both, is that not many people notice the gun. OCing sometimes people will notice, but not usually. CCing, even with a big gun or big holster, most people wouldn't think it's a gun. Unless they carry themselves and are looking for it. :D
+1 on that,use all of your guns that you might end up carrying, and grtting it out unoticed quickly, is sometimes better that an attempt at a quick grab....and aim quickly. Not too much to ask,HuH?Quote:

No ya didn't...no pictures, it didn't happen. Show us man!
I'm thinking that my next gun needs to be a 1911 or a variant thereof, or go for one of the smaller compact pistols like a Kel-tec or one of those Taurus hammerless revolvers. I have a hard time finding anything for my XD that isn't tactical and/or clunky. Probably, not the best idea to carry with a fat gun like that. lol. Oh well, if nothing else it's accurate and reliable and that's all I really ask for.
That just gives you another reason for another pistol. All kidding aside, the 1911 is like the AR-15, there are a gazillion parts to customize it to exactly what you want. There's a reason it's still around and going strong after 100 years...it works & works well.
