Like  mentions about the Shield, I just figured I could use a carry gun for times I don't want to mess up a really nice gun. I looked at the Shield, too, but I prefer the trigger on the XDs, and besides, it's a .45 in the same size package the Shield uses to deliver 9mm or .40. I like .45s.
I'd include pics, but my Photobucket account seems to have gone insane. Besides, it's just one of those ugly, new-fangled, fanplastic wonderguns, right?
Range time to follow this weekend if the weather lets up.

Congrats on the XD"s". I love mine. For a small carry gun, it packs a wallop without being hard to manage on recoil. Springfiled got this one right.

No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson
