Time to go handgun shopping again.

[AmericanBob]

the time's finally here to go spend a little mad money. the problem is, i haven't figured out quite what to get yet. i've been planning for a while to get another beretta. but those smith and wesson m&p's just keep catching my eye. being as though i don't know a thing about the smiths (aside from fondling them at shows and shops) i'm asking for opinions. and, maybe the off chance a little trigger time before i decide.

I REALLY like my M&P9c....

Liked it so much that I bought a FS 9mm not too long ago. I've yet to shoot it, though. But I expect it to be flawless like my 9c.

There are plenty of M&P owners aboard; I'd say that chances are good to find someone in your neck of the woods who'd assist you in your quest for trigger time on one!

Depending on your intended usage, the S&W M&P's offer a lot of variety, plus they are fantastic. I was in your shoes about 1.5 months ago and I finally bought the M&P Pro 9mm a couple weeks ago. The only regret i have had is not making the decision sooner!!!

Great feel, very accurate, customizable backstraps, smooth, fast, and my wife says it's sexy...

It is offered in 9mm, .357, .40, .45, and now in .22. Lots of options. You won't regret a M&P, unless you wait too long.

What he said...

Get the Pro, even if you're not into competitive shooting...

 

[HogDaddy]

why not a springfield xd or glock or a fn tactical?

 

[M67]

Get something with some balls, a good large size caliber

Just sayin'

 

[LPMan59]

i've got a fullsize M&P .45 if you'e interested

 

[gglass]

You can't go wrong with an M&P.

FYI: Midwest Gun Exchange in Northern Indiana has the M&P9c on sale for $479 until Feb. 4th.

i had an xd9, didn't like it. just didn't feel right. traded it for my mini-30. i've never actually thought about an FN.

Smith & Wesson M&P45 45ACP 14+1 4.5" FS hands down! Fine piece worth a look.

 

[mrfjones]

Two threads going right now about the FNs, check them out while you are at it. Seems holsters are the only drawback.

 

[Hoosier45]

If you feel like a little road trip to Lafayette, I have M&Ps in 4 different flavors that you are welcome to try.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

I have shot a 9mm, 9mm pro, .40, and .40 compact. They are fantastic pistols.

 

[dondavis3]

I'd suggest you look at CZ 75

Or EAA Witness

or Sig P229

All different price ranges - all excellent guns IMHO

Getting my secret gun fund back up to spending levels(don't tell my wife) and am going to look for a good 1911. I had a springfield years ago and a lightweight commander years before that. I want another one bad.

Glad to know that im not the only one who has a secret gun fund.
Im not going to tell your wife if you dont tell mine.

I owned a glock 23, kimber pro carry, and now have a 92FS. I've heard and for a while believed everything about the drawback of the 9mm. with some of the new HP rounds, it will do the trick. I'm looking at a Ruger SR9c, and just got my buddy to buy one too. He loves it. Check it out. BTW, its big brother was 2010 Handgun of the Year.

I have the FS and the compact, both in .40. They have been 100% reliable for me. I put Apex sear and striker blocks on them both, and the trigger pulls are sweet. They are accurate, hold a lot of ammo, and fit my hand well. Point better for me than a block.

 

[DustyDawg48]

I'm a Glock guy first but if I had to pick one other than a Glock it would be the Smith and Wesson M&P line of pistols.
