    Sweet.

    Is that a laser on the rail? I've been thinking of getting one. how well do they work and when do they cost?

    I have the M6 on my handgun. The unit cost me about $250. IMO the laser kinda sucks bc it sits so far below the barrel. Mine is set for 5 yards. Anything closer or further from that and the thing aint worth crap. The light is bright as hell and I really do like that. I put a uni-max green laser on my CX4 and it seems to be a whole lot more accurate bc of how close it is to the barrel.

    I have to disagree. For a home defense gun you are not trying to shoot the center out of a paper target. If you put the laser on your targets center mass from any distance that you are going to be shooting inside a house or an inclosed space, the laser will be an effective tool.

    100% agreed, but thats it. I guess I was hoping to get more out of it bc I first put it on my CX4 and had multiple problems with it. Now that its on my handgun the laser is good for someone center mass standing across the room.

    should have got the sub compact it goes anywhere and can make 50yd center mass shots with ease. I used it in Florida to Hunt the skunk ape, but never go to fire on it.


    I like your style. I just like shinny things so much that I bucked up the extra $50 to get the bi-tone, there really is no difference, but at least it is shinny.

    I hope the Armed services adopt the new XD 45 tactical.

    50yd center mass with ease from a short barrel?! Sounds like your either one hell of a shot or you are using one hell of a large target. Don't get me wrong, I've seen match grade guns shoot well but never an out of the box short barrel do something like that with ease. What is a skunk ape?
     
    Yeah, you guys have it great over there, :lol2:
