A good vid... lots of stuff.

I am very proud to say that I have done some of the things in this video through my time in the Corps.

GO NAVY!

I'm guessing you were "captain of the buoy" at about the 4:00 minute left mark in the video

Thanks for sharing

SA XD 9mm 9x19... 19 + 1...just in case your not a real good shot ...lol

OD Green , the rack is NOT square like previous xds...has 3 (different size) backstraps so you can adjust the "size" of the grip...
"SHE is sweet" ! I have a XD45 13+1 also

Is that the mag release on the back of the grip? And two safeties? Jammin...
Is that a sub compact? Looks short...

Nice weapon... I'm a glock guy myself... I just like them. Better than the Beretta that we fire...

On the rear of the grip is the grip safety, similar to what is on a 1911.

19+1, that's a lot of rounds.

SORRY, YES THATS A GRIP SAFTY..."IF YOU AIN'T SQUEEZING YOU AIN'T FIREING!" AND THATS A GREAT thing...
I love 1911's but LOVE XDs also

1)Drop
2) run over with a John Deere
3) Pick it up and commence fireing

As a retired US Navy Chief Damage Controlman who served on carriers, guide missle frigates, mine sweepers, patrolcraft and even in a submarine squadron as a subsafe inspector I can relate to that video. Thanks, you kind of brought a tear into my eyes and restored my pride.
