[TriLUG] OT: Guns

[Jim Tuttle]

I talked to the people at Personal Defense & Handgun Safety Center, Inc.
and they have a .40 XD, which looks great.  Does anyone know if you have
to be a fundamentalist christian to go there?  I had hoped to avoid
whackjobs, but the place seems great otherwise.

Also, can anyone comment on the ported XD?  Less muzzle jump seems like
a nice idea.

Thanks everyone,
Jim
