Not nearly enough love for the XD. Both the XD and XDM are awesome, slightly better finish on the XDM but wouldn't trade my XD for anything. Nothing like putting a few through the same hole at 15 yards. 13+1 is a win too.

Nice pick up. Have you ever shot a S&W MP22? Holding off on any purchases for a bit, but a 22 handgun is next (unless a long range bolt action comes across the sites). On the fence between the two

Buds has been good to me. They have had it plastered all over their site that there will be delays in shipping. First, they had the present or no present icons they relied on for whether a firearm would ship by Christmas. Now its become the tortoise or the hare. If the delay is unacceptable, go for it and cancel, its not fair to say you weren't warned though. I understand the gun may have been in stock but doesn't mean much if they are processing over 1,000 orders every day. I'm a fan because they offer affordable firearms with generally very quick shipping.

Thanks for the info guys, I'll be sure to follow up with more questions when I pick up from my FFL!

Moto: What kind of work? The biggest thing holding me back is mag availability. If I got it in .223, any idea if it could be made to accept pmags?

Thanks for the responses. I'm looking for something compliant out of the box as I have a FFL dealer who basically does transfers for me as a favor for just NICS.

Came across this guy: http://www.k-var.com/shop/VPR-101.html Wondering if they are legal in NJ. Don't see why they wouldn't be but k-var is pretty clear they don't ship to NJ unless stated. The NJ compliant rifles are way out of budget if they are in stock. Any word? Thanks

In for at least 2 cases!

Or get a .45 an max out at 13+1 of serious stopping power and avoid needing to worry about pinning haha. I'm a HUGE fan of XDs. I haven't seen an XDM in person yet but hear the fit and finish is even better than the XD. I will be looking to the XDS if I ever want to go subcompact

I am relatively new to shooting (very new to gun ownership, just picked up my XD 45 today!) and have a question about surplus ammo. Along with the handgun, I have a shotgun on the way. Out of curiosity, I was browsing online and found Remington 700s are more affordable than I thought! I'd like to add a long gun to the mix but have to think about finances. Came across this .308 ammo that is VERY affordable. I know military surplus can have some duds and such, but is there anything else I should know? I can live with cleaning the firearm after each use, but not sure how easy or difficult that would be. Again, I have shot a decent amount of times (never a long rifle) but have never had to learn or worry about areas of gun ownership until now. http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/24770 Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. Meant to ask if an AR15 would be considered a long gun and thus could be kept in the trunk, unloaded. Not to hijack the thread, but if I have an audience here; from what I've read in the law it doesn't seem that there is any restriction on caliber of ammo? For instance, would a .22 AR15 be treated the same way as one with a lower that could accomodate 7.62 ammo? I've shot .22 out of a handgun before, but can't really imagine it out of a rifle.

Being new to the forum and firearms in general, can someone clear up what exactly qualifies as a long gun? Is it the same to say its OK to leave an unloaded AR in the trunk? Ammo and the firearm can be both kept in the trunk simultaneously? Again, forgive my ignorance as I am still doing my reading, but from what I've seen I thought they had to be separated. Also can someone direct me to where the "reasonable stop" is explained? Thank you
