Austin CHL'er with XD9 Subcompact?
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 6:43 pm
Hi folks. My middle daughter just got her CHL last month and we have been shopping around for a carry pistol for her. We have narrowed down to an XD9 Subcompact. She would like to get a bit more familiar with it before purchase. One of our options is to go to Red's in Pflugerville and rent one on Ladies' Day but they only have a 4". No big deal but she is also interested in how it would feel in an IWB holster. I have an IWB Comp-tac for my Glock 30 and could maybe adapt it "to work".
My thoughts are that if someone in the Austin area were so kindly inclined perhaps she could holster and fire one from someone who carries one regularly and perhaps discuss the pros and cons of that particular pistol.
I (we) would be happy to exchange a beverage, or a meal or a box of 9mm for the pleasure of your and your pistol's company for an hour or so.
Also, if you have one you wish to sell with all the gear etc, perhaps we could discuss that too. I guess that discussion would include WHY you want to sell.
She is familiar with pistols. I bought her a Glock 17 to learn on and it has been very good for that. I am going to buy it back from her for what I paid for it...gosh, did she see me coming or what. She drives a tough bargin.
On a side note, it is really nice to have a daughter who can and will qualify for a CHL. We did good on that one. Youngest daughter is close to getting hers and will probably want the same deal. SHEESH! it's gonna break me someday.
Thanks for your attention. and before you ask, NO, I won't make the same deal for you.
