Reliable ( that is the KEY ) power generation requires massive steam driven generation plants – THAT requires coal or natural gas – let’s put this in perspective – if ALL energy needs were converted to natural gas – fuel cells for your house – LNG tanks for your vehicle – put the pipelines in place ( high pressure / high volume ) to supply the coal fired electricity generation plants and convert ALL of them to natural gas – Would we have enough?? With the easily accessible, PROVEN natural gas reserves – the simple answer is yes – for somewhere between 6 to 8 thousand years – and folks – natural gas burns clean – Hell’s Bells the state of the art coal burners are almost as good as natural gas – how are they planning on farming – processing the food – moving stuff to market – with wind and solar?? – their not – these commies are quite willing to let YOU starve to death – Do you ever wonder why the great goddess greta and her handler soros are not raising Hell about the pollution that china puts out daily?? – because china is already a communist country – paris climate accords my ass – france is a joke – after the commies ran them out of vietnam they were shipping arms into hiaphong harbor to the communists – if you wanted to bring your military career to a screeching halt just suggest bombing the crap out of hiaphong and its harbor facilities – can’t do that – we might damage or sink a french flagged vessels and since they are our nato allies that would be a bad thing – The Fuck You Say!!

Picked this little pistol up from Doug @ GGGPawn a couple of weeks back and finally got a chance to get a good look at it and even got to the range with it – Ready?
Complete in all its glory – box – cleaning brush – manual – 2 magazines ( including a super deadly High Capacity magazine – LMAO ) – and original lock / still in bag . . .
Springfield started with the XD line around 2002 – this particular pistol is a July 2005 manufacture date – in great shape for 15 years old . . . Springfield has gone through several “versions” of the XD line since its start – actually 5 or 6 I think – CLICK HERE TO GO TO WIKI and have at it or CLICK HERE TO GO TO SPRINGFIELD and check them out – not a bad run for what started out as an “ugly duckling” import – let’s take it apart and have a look see . . . And Yes I am going to remind you to check a firearm to assure that it is empty before handling – cleaning etc – however – if you are that stupid maybe we should let Darwin come into play here . . .
Lock the slide back
Rotate the locking lever up . . .
Release the slide – pull the trigger – if it goes bang you fucked up – take the slide off – comes apart just like almost every other striker fired pistol – and captured recoil springs are a good thing – it never ceases to amaze me just how far a guide rod can go when it gets away from my clutches . . .
And my favorite part – Trigger Time at The Range – Have YOU been to the range this week?? Upper left – upper right – lower left – lower right – center – a quick 25 rounds to function check the pistol and magazines more than anything else – about those two that climbed up and right out of the lower right five – trying to play with the reset when I fired the last three rounds – it is longer than you think – would take a few more rounds to dial it in – but overall a nice little shooter – 3 dot sights / nothing fancy – recoil very manageable / Either YOU manage recoil or recoil manages YOU!!
Nothing fancy – just sending them in the direction of the target – just point – sight / target picture – shoot . . .
Bath Time!! – No Greg – no Asian girls in bubble baths – just saying . . .
I did a cleaning post about a million years ago – I showed a S&W 642 getting a bath – if y’all want I can do one for a semi-auto . . . same basic steps – just different – revolver vs semi-auto – let me know . . . the only reason I hesitate is the fact that there are SO MANY gun “cleaning” videos out there . . .
All better now . . .
All cleaned up and ready to go – Ready for some random thoughts?? . . .
Smooth shooter – decent capacity with the short mag – grip texture works good / probably won’t add Talon Grips to it – despite appearances the bore axis is not as high as you think / very little muzzle flip – decent trigger break – LOOONG reset – three dot sights that are easy to pick up – been on the market long enough replacement sights / night sights / holsters etc. are all readily available – the grip safety really helps a lot of folks feel “comfortable” with the striker fired system – points good / I am not having to adjust grip or grip angle to “find” the sights – It is an ugly little duckling, isn’t it?
I picked up an XDM in .40 S&W from Doug back in May (?) – there is a review on it – just click on the firearms review “tag” at the bottom of the page – it’s there somewhere – with this XD it makes a grand total of 3 XD’s I’ve shot – I will say this – I wouldn’t hesitate carry any of them – in fact I’m thinking about . . .
From Springfield Armory
Springfield is now making a hammer fired pistol! – CHECK IT OUT HERE – I am going to snoop around and see what I can find on them – looks interesting – I knew Springfield made “stuff” besides 1911’s – I just never paid much attention to it . . . I mean after all – there are only 3 types of guns – 1911’s – S&W revolvers – and the rest!! – LMAO!!
Bottom Line?? The XD series pistols are decent shooters and out there at good prices – my suggestion is get to the range and rent one – give it a test drive – they are smooth little shooters . . .
And some free advice ( due to inflation free advice is currently $78.50 ) – but for you today it is free – if you have bought a firearm and a box of ammo and now you “think” – I’m ready – You’re not – please – if you’re new to this get a basic safety class – practice time – the firearm IS NOT a talisman that will somehow ward off evil – there are some truly evil fucks out there in the world and stopping their particular threat to your life may include poking holes in them until the threat stops . . .
Going to try to sneak out and see what is available – will let you know – probably in an early Saturday morning post – picking up an extra shift this weekend so live posting will be limited . . .

Chris @ Marksman TV pretty well sums it up in a calm fashion -PAY ATTENTION Folks – at about 15 minutes in he explains “slippery slope” – slope my ass – we are about to step off a fucking cliff – Why we can’t have nice things?? – Fucking Commie Cocksuckers – Antifa?? – Sounds like you’re saying commie cocksucker with a dick in your mouth!!
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
Thought I would just post out of an unsorted file – might be just about anything – Enjoy!
Note To SELF : Don’t schedule “stuff” to drop when half asleep and in a hurry – that’s why everybody is like “what the hell is this phantom legion shit – where’s the babes?? – I didn’t realize I had reversed the posts – OOPS!!
Just gonna drop these a couple of Wednesdays a month – got about 1200 pics to burn through – Enjoy!
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!
