I just could not Get a good grip on the 22. It moved around alot in my hand when firing. The gen 4 feels so much better. I even like the texture of the grip and usually hate rough texture on a pistol. And I shot the m&p 40 ,it felt like shooting a 9 mm. I know I am not recoil sensitive. I like shooting my father in laws 44 mag.If you found the G22 too snappy, you won't like the G23. I fired both at the range, as a buddy had both and I thought the G22 was much smoother and more like firing a 9mm.
It makes alot of sense going with the m&p. I have ammo and I like the gun. Just need to find one locally. Mark are you listening?
Not a real fan of pss. Never got treated well when I went there. It will have to be Bradis for me or I have to order it from buds. Thanks for the help guys.
personally not to a fan of the .40 S&W...but even I would jump all over that! GREAT deal!$329 for a g23 is a great deal. I would jump on that
the only reason I am avoiding 9 mm is it is not as available as 40 or 45 at the moment. I can go to Wal-Mart right now and buy the other two right now. This is the same reason why I won't buy a. 22 right now.It sounds like you're not looking to buy this week, so you get time to shop slowly. Here's a suggestion from the left field: would you consider 9mm? If you're looking to buy used guns, you can find more good deals in 9mm probably. Also, 9mm cost over the long term is less than .45 or .40.
I know you have .45 ammo, but if you act fast, you can probably find someone willing to take them off your hands for an acceptable price. Right now .45 still hasn't returned to the pre-panic prices.
From your three choices, I'd probably take the cheapest one if I think money will loosen up in a year or two, and I just need something to tide myself over. Who knows -- maybe you'll grow to like your gun. If I'm looking for a long-term investment, I'd probably splurge and get the one that I like best. If I'm hunting for a good deal, I may be open to more models. I'd also give some less commonly seen brands a good look -- Bersa, Turkish copies of CZ, etc. These guns handle just fine for me.
I like the M&P in .45. So I guess I second your vote. Never shot Glocks in .40, though I've done classes with Glocks in 9mm. I like the 1911 the best. All of them work.
Good luck!
M&P 45 4 inch.
pros: I have had one. I liked it a lot, only sold due to financial problems. I have 45 ammo. only thing needed for it is night sights and a holster. all around nice pistol.

Thank youThere are some enthusiastic Bersa owners on this forum. If you want to consider Bersa as well, make a separate thread and maybe some would be willing to meet up with you on the range.
It sounds like you want your M&P .45 back. You can't go wrong with it. Now you can start looking around for a good deal. Good luck!
I had an xd. I got rid of it because I feel the grip safety to be a huge mistake. It does not bother me as much when firing. It's when you can't rack the slide without it depressed. In a life or death situation, this could cost you alot.
