Guest Blooger

I am one of ''T-Bolt's'' co-workers and he asked me to guest blog.  He has written about me before, but I don't know what nickname he gave me.

Why I chose the XD.  I wanted a pistol for some time and TBolt talking about was the push to get me to buy one.  At the time I knew I hated the Glock cuz the fanbois I read online were annoying, and everyone was complaining about the Smith and Wesson  M and P dropping mags.  And I never saw anyone complain about specific malfunctions with the XD in any of my online searches.  This was 3 years ago.  So XD got it by default this way.  Plus TBolt liked the ones he shot and recommended trying it as a rental.  I tried it and liked it and bought it.

I thought about a 1911, but they were way expensive.  At least among the brands I had heard about.  I didn't want to take a chance at a generic 1911.  So I got a full size gun in .45 that wasn't a Colt 1911 in the Springfield XD45.  When I got it I took it to the range every month or so to shoot it for about a year.  I need to go back and practice more.  It's a good pistol.  I think I'll get a shotgun next for home defense.
