Painted a few things. Some PRP Ti parts. Trigger next.
friendly advice: the mods tend to not enjoy the facebook update type posts. They may lock or delete this.
Why did you choose the XD series?
That’s unfortunate. I didn’t realize sharing a new arrival isn’t a welcomed post.
But thanks for the update.
I was looking for a budget priced tactical pistol for non-carry.
The XD fits my grip better than most and it’s a workhorse. Not a hiccup in 500 rounds.
I added a PRP Ti Striker Kit indicator. Looking at triggers as the next upgrade as the reset is not to my liking but acceptable.
I just filled in the engravings that you see in the photo because I was bored with it. Just playing with it. Takes minutes to remove when I get annoyed with it.
Sick looking gun! You will love the PRP trigger on there. The rest will be leaps and bounds better. You will get your money’s worth.
this is honestly the best handgun i have ever seen… also great choice in caliber!!! solid choice allot industry professionals use this gun and recommend it and you will not be disappointed
Which industry professionals are you speaking of?
I think he was kidding. Most everyone that is anyone has moved away from 40 (or never went there to begin with).
What’s that saying, if you can’t say something nice…

The forums on M4C are of technical nature. So your post was a little out of line. With that said, tell us more about the PRP TI striker indicator. Neve heard of it. What does it do better than the factory part??

Can you expand on this comment? We know for example that the 96 was a mistake before certain revisions were made in the form of the 90 Two (interpretations may vary), but why the knock on the .40 in general?
Gotcha
All pistol calibers basically suck (less 10mm). So what is important is accurate, multiple hits. Which caliber best facilitates this? The 9mm.
From what we have seen HG’S chambered in the 40 tend to be the least reliable.
Last but not least is cost. Much cheaper to shoot the 9mm.

I get this part, may not necessarily agree but get it and will take note. That said, after all the documented cases of a 9 apparently failing to subdue a threat barring perfect shot placement (please don’t ask me to dig up all the old posts and articles), are we now stating that both the .40 and .45 are inferior?
I think that ALL pistol rounds are not effective man stoppers. A CNS hit or multiple well placed rounds to vital areas to spring a lot of leaks in the plumbing of a bad guy are the only ways to stop a bad guy quickly with handgun rounds.
The 40 had its day until bullet technology caught up and the 9MM bullets that are available now are far superior to what they used to be 10 years ago. Because of the better bullet technology, the performance of the 9MM and 40 are so close that the cost of ammo, wear and tare on internal parts and recoil make the 40s juice not worth the squeeze.
That being said, I’m not going to go sell all my 40s and all my stored ammo just because Delta ditched it and my department isn’t going to switch from the 40 anytime soon either.
C4IGrant, thank you for updating me on the nature. Next time I’ll follow the talk less, read more approach.
Polished striker made from heat treated (52-53 Rockwell) Chromalloy steel. The face of the striker has been micro polished using a proprietary vibratory process to give you a smooth crisp smooth trigger pull.
Titanium Striker Safety Kit. Making the safety out of titanium reduces the mass of the safety. This allows the use of a reduced power striker safety spring to reduce the trigger pull yet keeps the safety functioning properly. Works with the factory trigger.
ALL PISTOL CALIBERS SUCK.

How does advancements in bullet technology only improve the 9mm and not all other calibers?

Well hell then let’s invent a new one. I’ll start drawing something up. :fie:
Precisely.
The 40 only exists to please those who are confused about their caliber identity.
It is true that 9 is cheaper to shoot, however during the panic of 2008 and 2012 I could find .40 everywhere while 9mm and 45 were unavailable.
It does improve the other calibers. However, the 9MM performs so close to the 40 now that the 40 is no longer worth the problems that comes with it. More recoil, more wear on internal parts and in some cases, less reliable guns.
