Hello,

I am looking at buying a used 10mm for a wood guns, I have the chance to buy either an XDM Elite 3.8” with some mild wear, barrel shows finish wear and there is some mild rust on the slide release or a Gen 3 Glock 29 that is like new.
They both feel about the same in my hands, I know I would get at least the +0 Pearce pinky plates for the 29 if I went that route.

Either one would cost just under $400.

My main concerns are holster availability with a light, overall reliability and how well the 29 does with larger magazines like the 15 mag or the 10rd extensions (I’ve read that some folks have issues with feeding)

I would appreciate any input!

Looking at an XDM Elite OSP Compact (3.8”) and am curious if this model is considered to be reliable? I know lots of 10mm have weird issues like M&P and their magazines and feeing issues.

Are these XDMs something you’d trust as a woods gun?

Looking at this early model of post Mossberg purchase Maverick 88 security, I noticed the bolt is not blued, the receiver is marked and the stock is different from current model 88 securitys.

Can anyone enlighten me on if these early models are that different internally? It is like a pre64 Winchester or JM stamped Marlin where the original production lines were changed post ownership change?

Thank you for your time!

I am looking at purchasing a model 94 from 1895 (serial in 26,000) range. Though it has a model 64 barrel and forend. It appears the forend has some sort of bedding done (is this normal?) and I’d like to remove the forend but there is this dovetail like piece under the forend cap between the barrel and magazine tube that I cannot seem to figure out how to remove. Also curious how to remove the front magazine tube band that dovetails into the barrel just before the magazine cap. I would love any input or resources on disassembly of this area.

Thank you!!

Hello,

I have a model 94 dated to 1895 (26,000 serial range) though the entire rifle forward of the receiver appears to be off a model 64, the mag tube, barrel (stamped 64 in 32 WS) and forend all appear to be from a model 64. My best guess is it was completely replaced at one point in history, would love any input on what or how this was done, most curious about the compatibility of the entire forend and magazine tube being compatible with a 94 receiver.

Thank you and would appreciate any comments!
