I was at Cabela's tonight.....

I have a Springfield XD 40 and I love the thing.
GunFun:
I shot my cousin's 9mm Glock that was his police issue sidearm in Las Vegas years ago... it was very accurate for a pistol and I loved the feel of it.

Dry practice, grasshopper, dry practice. Then, you can visit the range to simply verify your practice without spending a fortune on ammo! This leads to sight picture/point shooting practice, trigger control practice and accuracy increases all while NOT instilling the flinch factor in new shooters while saving them money!

It would take one hell of lot of dryfire practice to condition Olive Oyl's wrists to the kind of recoil she's going to get out of an Airweight .357 ..... I'm going to go out an a limb and make the bold statement that even if a very determined Ms. Oyl superglued a pair of Airweights to her palms and went around clickclickclickclickclickclick18hoursaday6daysaweek, carpal tunnel will set in long before she can effectively handle that gun (put 2 rounds DA COM at 7 yards in 2 seconds) .... dry fire is great, but it does not help a whole lot as far as dealing w/ recoil.

... unless maybe you don't care about the gun much and have a buddy smack the muzzle with a 3 pound ball peen hammer every time time the gun goes "click" ;) .
