Spring time is here, and I wanted to buy another hand gun, but didn't want to
spend a bundle. I stopped by the local shop, and undere the glass in the
used area was a Springfiueld XD Tactical in .40 cal. Most people prefer 9mm
or .45, but I got into .40 cal because a friend gave me all his brass he was
saving. He used to frequent a park that had a pistol range, and the rangers
would sweepe up the brass and sort it while on fire watch. He gave me close t
o 2000 spent .40 cases. I reload, so it's natural to use the free brass .
The pistol was barely used, showed little to no wear marks, and had
aftermarket tritium night sights. Not usre how old it is, or how much the
life is on the tritium paint. Anyways, the sights are good in the daylight.
The gun was priced for $299, which was hard to turn down. It came with a
nice case with a cleaning kit and two mags.
I stopped by the shop yesterday, and now there's a used full sized M&P 2.0 in
.40 in the case. I have a pre-2.0 but like the enhancements they made.
There's also an S&W SD 40 VE that looks lightly used, but maybe I'll wait
before going on a spending spree.
