XD mod.2 9mm

 

Just bought it. Massive improvement on the grip ergonomics over my XDm.

I am familiar with Springfields XD & XDm pistols but what is "mod. 2"? Never heard of that before.

FN 509 Midsize. Great Glock 19-size pistol. I'll be ordering the holster for it this week.

I carry a Glock 19 with the NIB-X coated slide and a Glock 42. Once the Glock 43 hits my store I'll be picking one of those up as well.

It's just a revision of the current and standard XD pistol. Springfield should drop the original XD and stick to this newest design. Seems like a better design compared to the original.

Just picked up a S&W M&P 9mm 4.25" for my new EDC. I figure with all the crazy's out there I might want to have the capacity.

Depending on several variables, I will carry a Colt CCO in 45ACP, a 2.5" S&W 66-2 in 357 Mag or a S&W 640 Pro in 357 Mag.

Looks like a different grip and a front glow sight... buying an "old" XD competition 5.25 is much more attractive to me. Although I'd really like to try a pistol with a reflex sight.

I bought into the single stack 9mm concept once the Shield came out, been carrying a S&W Shield in 9mm since, its the one when I picked it up I was like, yea this fits good :) King Tuck Galco IWB holster. I am contemplating one of the following for pocket carry - Keltec P3AT, Kahr CW380, Ruger LCP.

If I need to, I CC a CZ RAMI or Kimber Crimson Ultra Carry.

How do you like the ultra carry? Ive had one for 6 years but Im finally getting my CHL. What holster do you use and do you carry extra magazines on you?

I like the Kimber, it's been very reliable. I use it when I am wearing a lighter jacket, like a sport coat as it prints less than the RAMI.

 

I have an OWB Model 1 pancake from Lobo Gun Leathers; Ray recently retired and sold the business to another family that's making the same models IIRC (lobogunleathers.com is the new site).

 

I generally carry 2 extra mags with me. If I can't get the job done in 3 mags, I've got bigger problems.

I hope the new owners will maintain the quality we have seen from Lobo. I carry my CCO in an Enhanced Avenger and it is probably my favorite OWB holster for any of my handguns. Worn strongside at about 4 o'clock it is well concealed under a light jacket or sport/suit coat and carries very comfortably all day long.

I hope so too. Ray was great to deal with and was always quick to answer questions.

I used to open carry my Springfield 4.5" XDM 40cal, now that I got my CCP I carry my XD Mod. 2 in 45ACP with the smaller 9 round mag and a pearce grip extension, ill get a pic up here soon. Im thinking because Im fat Im going to invest in either a Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9mm or stick with my tried and true Springfield XD series and go with a 9mm XDS

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
