In my family emergency plan, we have contingencies to shelter in place for some things and for a number of other types of disasters/incidents, we are leaving the area. When that is the case, i have 2 bags that will generally be grabbed: a BOB (bug out bag) and a medical bag.

I spend time sending emails to our legislature here in MD and our national reps regarding issues that come to my attention (which I suspect most on these forums do).
Also, I am in a unique position to train police; so I spend time teaching young officers about the 4th Amendment and the 2nd...
Decision
After long deliberation and much research, including some posts here, I have decided to keep my Glock 23 and pickup a SA XDM Compact in 9mm. I like the ergonomics and SA has impressed me with the accuracy of their XDM line. All that, AND my wife said she "loves" the Glock and wants...

I'm with you on the "high-stress situations lead to training induced actions". As a 12 year LEO, I practice with both duty and off-duty enough to be comfortable with both. Good point, though.:)
This is precisely what I've heard. Thanks for the info. I, too, am considering an XDM in .45 as an alternative to the SA UC. I have shot my buddy's and the ergonomics are as sweet as the accuracy.

I am possibly selling my Glock 23 to make the big jump up to a Springfield Ultra Compact .45. Does anyone have any experience with this weapon? I would be using it as an off-duty CC. My main concerns are the reported problems with compact 1911's FTF and FTE. Comments?
Correct Statement!
My wife works at the general assembly and she came home on several occasions to tell me that the debates over potentially "controversial" issues were quickly axed in favor of "good press" bills. It is common knowledge there that several of the democrats are a little...
After nearly a full year of badgering by Racinghoss, I caved in and quit looking over his shoulder for an account of my own- lol. Originally a Pennsylvanian, I now reside in Pasadena and work here in MD. I'm a strong believer in 2A rights and hunter's rights as well. I'm looking forwarding to...
