Why not do your homework on the gun you are wanting instead of waiting for some jackleg at a sporting goods store telling you about the product, Heck a lot of off duty police work at the home town shops and I don't know bout other places but the one's I have talked to don't know a bit more than I do and most ot the times even less, Do Your Home Work !!!!!

snider, my FFL guy always tells his employees that I can educate them. Your suggestion about researching what you want to buy, holds true for everything. It doesn't matter if it's a vehicle, boat, RV, or a gun, the more information the purchaser has, the better off he is.

Snider makes a very good point. I bought my last gun from Bass Pro and the young guy didn't know much about guns. He was just trying to make a living. But I knew all about the gun and it's competitors from 6 months of research. All I did was walk in and say "I'll take that one". Done deal. And on another hand, you don't have to worry about him trying to tell you what he "thinks" you need. He can't do that with only a little bit of knowledge.
Ron, what caliber XDs did you get? would like to see them sometime.

It's a .45 acp and I should have it by the middle of Feb., since my guy had to order it and Elletts is backed up with outstanding orders.  As far as I know, all of the XDS are only available in black, so I won't have a match to my full sized XD which is in the coyote color.
