(GunReports.com) — Recently, Gun Tests magazine received a letter urging us to test more deep-concealment guns, claiming that they are the most popular gun of the day. Checking with one of the larger distributors (www.camfour.com), confirmed that it is the subcompact and micro guns that are currently driving the market. In this test we didn’t evaluate a pocket gun, instead shooting a compact pistol that was just one step larger than the smallest model available from the manufacturer.The first test gun we chose was the $697 XDM 3.8 from Springfield Armory. Since the first XD pistol to hit our shores from Croatia was the Four-inch Service Model, we were tempted to refer to the XDM 3.8 as belonging to a ‘sub-service’ category.

Pressing the trigger on the XD series pistols tops off the compression of the striker spring and releases the trigger.

New York doesn’t need anymore laws governing legal guns. A better approach is to teach kids, at a very young age, to respect guns for the dangerous weapons they are, or better put, can be. At the risk of being cliche-ish, guns are only as bad or as dangerous as the person holding them.

New York gun owners are in for a rough ride with the new administration. The Paterson administration had so much dumped in its lap that radical gun control never got to priority status.
But governor elect Andrew Cuomo is a nationally renowned anti gun advocate and new Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was the primary mover and shaker of virtually all anti gun legislation in the state, including microstamping.

For many years, hunters wishing to travel by airline have been able to transport firearms and ammunition in secure, checked baggage when declared during the check in process something that is done every day at airports across our country. However, until two weeks ago, Amtrak passengers were not permitted to do likewise.
