Range report

[TDiddy]

Went to the range yesterday - shot my XD40 for the first time since modding it a little.

I replaced the stock stainless guide rod with a tungsten one and replaced the stock 16lb spring with a 22lb. spring. The added weight and stiffer spring helps with muzzle flip.

Guide rod from Canyon Creek Custom, http://www.canyoncreekcustom.com/Home_Page.html

Purchased from Pistol Gear, http://www.pistolgear.com/index.php

I put about 100 rounds through and was consistently pulling to the left. No fault of the mods, probably just my grip and/or too much trigger finger. I found a cool video on grips through the XDtalk forum:

Funny thing - there was one other older guy on the same range (there's 3 at this place) shooting a .45. I was about 1/2 way through my rounds and reloading a mag, and he came over to ask what I was shooting. I told him a .40 cal Springfield. He said "oh, I thought it might be a communist gun the way everything is pulling to the left." Man I walked right in to that one

Waht does your hand look like after you shoot?

That will tell me and others a little about your grip.

What part of you finger do you use on the trigger?
