Default Proud M&P 40C PaPa

Howdy all,
I just started shooting regularly again for the first time since I was on a Navy pistol team back in '81. My company has started a pistol league...I joined, and after my first day back at the range I have in 2 weeks time purchased a new M&P 40c, Storm Lake 9mm barrel, mags, range bag full of goodies, and a Buckmark .22 for myself. Bought my wife a Beretta Neos .22 and a Walther PK 380. I still love my Model 624 stainless 44Special, but thoroughly enjoy the .40.

Hooked again,
Gary in Northwest Arkansas

Thanks, this is the first range shooting I've done in 25 years and its a blast. My wife had never fired a gun in her life until I bought her a Beretta Neos for our rimfire league. First day out I brought 500 rounds, which she thought was waaaay too much. A couple of hours later, ammo was gone and she was wanting more. Next day we brought 800...glad I didn't buy her a .40!
