Default My new to me 945-40

I decided that I needed another blaster, and the 945-40 was about to drop off Californias approved gun list. I frantically searched to get one in time, and came across a NIB one that was slightly more than I wanted to pay. I decided not to let a few bucks get in the way, so I bought it. Much to my suprise, S&W paid the fee to keep it listed, why on a 10 year old limited production gun I have no idea, but it is there for another year.

Anyway, took it to the range this evening and was pleased with how it shoots. It feels almost the same as my 945-1 except lighter, and has a very similar trigger pull and reset. If we ever get shall issue CCW, this will be my carry piece. I will use it occasionally in IDPA, although with the 7 round capacity it will be a disadvantage.

First pic is a few through it at 50 ft standing freestyle.

Second pic is the second magazine through it at 7 yards standing freestyle.

Third is a pic prior to shooting it for the first time.

I cant seem to load full size pics on this board no matter what I do. I always seem to get thumbs. Can anyone tell me in plain english how to do it? I have these pics hosted on another server.

Nice gun, huh?

If you are looking for another mag I think I have one around here. The gun is gone, but the mag isn't.

Enjoy,
Bob
