For the first time, I would buy something cheaper. My first pistol was a Keltec PF-9. I love that little bastard and still carry it just because it's so small.

My soon to be newest edition. 45ACP of course, but then again I hand load and haven't bought ammo in 7 years so ammo price wasn't even in the picture.

How do you guys with the ported barrels like them? Does the flash not temporarily blind you? I would think it would in a dark situation. Looks **** none the less!

Thats not a ported barrel, its a lightened slide. I believe that will be my next addition too.

Well I finally picked up my 5.25 xdm and I have to say that this thing is light. Even with a full mag. Now i'm just waiting for Saturday to see if the weight will be an issue.

Pay'd $750 with tax. I believe the three mag deal only goes until late november. Don't quote me on that though.

My newest addition. This thing shoots very smooth for a .45, at 15 yards it puts its first 13 rounds in the bullseye. Gonna get the PRP ultimate match trigger or drop in soon and its only gonna be better
