GUN PORN www.fragoutmag.com I love this pistol. The only thing which irritates me in it is a low availability of the accessories, such as the holsters or pouches on our market. Even not mentioning the holsters for a pistol with tactical flashlight attached or the micro red dot rear sights which are getting more and more popular. For some time, here in Poland, we have had a greater and greater access to the shooters equipment manufactured by the Bladetech company from United States. However, I do not hide that it is not an equipment which meets my expectations, although it probably will find some supporters – as everything. I miss certain solutions from the internal holster like Raven Concealment, INCOG or the latest Safarilands. I am glad that this situation gradually changes, although without a support of the custom holster makers owing this pistol in the previous years was connected with a really limited access to the accessories. The pistol is not susceptible to mechanical damages, a coating does not wear off quicker than in the other designs, and a mechanism is dirt resistant. I try to clean the pistol every 500 rounds, but lately it has happened that I have shot away from it about two thousand rounds, including shooting in the rain once. It has been really dirty. But it has worked as it should. And in the near future I would like to change it for a smaller XDM 3.8 model for everyday carrying. sUmmaRy Advantages: • a compact design – 3.8" size, perfect for the concealed carrying; • accuracy; • a soft and smooth operation of the trigger; • well-designed manipulators, a clear and easy in handling slide release lever, a slid stop for disassembling a pistol perfectly plays a role of the thumb rest of the right hand; • a smooth characteristics of the firearm operation, it is easy to inspect, without any problems works with different ammunition (from 115 gr, 124 gr, 136 gr, FMJ / HP); • readable and clear sights, their shape enables reloading while using a holster or clothing; these manoeuvres may be impeded a loaded chamber indicator because it is a sharp edge – in this situation it can damage the clothing or holster.
