When it comes to home defense training, you have to train like you intend to fight.In 2013, I hunted with some American war fighters on the U.S. Army’s base in Hohenfels, Germany.

Editor’s Note: The author received a Springfield XD Mod.4 pistol on loan from the company for the purposes of writing this review.
