So I just ordered a new Springfield Armory XD-S to be picked up when I get done with this deployment (it is oh so close).
Anyone have one of these and shot it yet?
Plan on using it to replace my Glock 27 as my everyday CCW weapon.

Ok so I know a lot of you transport your dogs in a dog box.
i was just going to have the dog ride with me up front in the cab of my truck. Is this not advised?
Why a dog box? Is it to keep your cab clean or is their more to it than that?
Thoughts?
