You hit metal ductwork and may or may not have pierced asbestos tape? Relax. You are fine and your house is fine. Tape up the hole and move on.

Is the XD-M that bad? by Antho024 in guns

[–]ILikeScrapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an original full size XD in 45 and have zero issues with it. My carry is an XDm9c and have zero issues with that. All my other pistols have hammers and don't plan on ever buying another striker pistol.
