Soon to Carry in Asheville, NC
How refreshing it is to discover an on-topic, non-berating, no ALL-CAPS forum that could serve as my source for the accompanyment of like-minded persons that harbor the desire, need, and responsibility to carry, present, and utilize a concealed firearm. I am impressed with the lack of insignificant arguing that is so common on other forums, be it the credit of the members or the administrators of combatcarry.com. I welcome the advice and expertise of the varied members, and hope to eventually contribute usefull information myself. BTW, though I have several firearms, I am considering the Springfield XD-40 (in two-tone) as my ccw of choice and would consider the input of any member. It is slightly larger than the G36 , but is much more comfortable in my hand. I plan to carry in a holster between the hip and the small-of-back, as is most feasable and concealable given my dress and location. Comments?

Whereabouts in Asheville? I'm in Arden at the moment, hopefully moving to the Weaverville area soon.
I used to hang out at On Target a lot, but my rangetime had a signifigant decline when my girlfriend moved in. If you're a regular (or semi-regular) customer out there we've probably met.
Anyway, welcome to combatcarry:wave:

Welcome to the forum! You and I probably need to talk (via pm) as my wife and I are looking to retire to Asheville NC within the next five or so years and will probably be spending time there before then...like soon. So watch for a p.m. from me.
Your choice seems spot on to me. I personally don't like the XD's but before my bretheren here begin to ignite their flamethrowers, let me say it is NO DOUBT a fine firearm, I personally don't care for them. However, I will reserve a total rejection until I've fired one of the new 45acp pistols. Heck, I might love it. It's prolly a sign of advancing age that I'm so inflexible and rigid. LOL

deWalt - welcome :smilez:
I am imagining you packing a cordless drill :wink:
No doubt our very own Euclidean will say a word or three on the XD-40 as well as other members. Despite various ''fan clubs'' for specific platforms I do think overall we are pretty laid back about folk's choices and for most part are more likely to applaud others for taking up carry at all!

Zach, I am in the Leicester area. People around here tend to notice only the absence of gunfire, so I haven't much needed ranges. However, I've recently realized some value in them, so I will probably check out On Target when I get my new gun.
