Hi All,
Brief summary of how I got here:
* Never owned a gun, but never objected to them either
* House broken into this summer (while the wife & I were home)
* Got some pistols, one with a 19rd magazine (wife and I feel a lot better)
* Would like to get a nice semi-automatic rifle, before they're unattainable legally
Other than introductions, the point of this post was that I was hoping to get some insight and advice about semi-auto 5.56mm rifles ...
I really like the short reset trigger on my P220, and both it and the XDM 9 have really grippy slides and handles, which was great inside a warm range when our hands started to sweat a bit. The fiber-optic/iron sight on the XDM is good when it's bright, but I like the 3-dot white outline tritium sights on the SIG better. Love the 19rd capacity on the XDM. <--- maybe these points can help narrow the field since there are more than a few 5.56mm semi-auto rifles out there.
Thanks in advance!
