I'm kinda bumming.  I had to work last weekend, and this weekend brings holiday gatherings out of town.  No time for hitting the range for some target practice.  My husband bought me a new 9 mm XDM for Christmas, and I want to go play!  Of course, that doesn't stop me from dry-firing and practicing my aim.  He's been having fun with his Rock Island Tactical 1911 45 ACP  that I got him for Christmas.  When we went to the range after we got our new toys, I got to try his gun, and I found that I liked it a lot.  It shoots unlike the XDM, the recoil was different.  In a good way, though.  It's more of a hard push than a sharp snap.  I need to learn to not focus on controlling the recoil but controlling my aim.  T-Rex told me the best way to practice my aim was dry-firing at a point, and holding my gun as still as I could when I pulled the trigger.  I'm anxious to get back to the range to see if I have any improvement.
We've been researching holsters lately too, we both need a good one for our guns.  I'm hoping I can get used to IWB carry, because it's ideal for conceal carry.  I mean, right now I carry concealed off-person, but there are drawbacks to that.  I've got a full size XDM, so it's a little big, but I'm hoping with a good holster and some playing around, I can get it situated just right...otherwise, I'll probably get something a little smaller, and use the XDM for back-up.
I thought I should mention that I wish everyone a happy, healthy Thanksgiving, may you have many blessings to be thankful for.  I know I sure do.
