Model 410- First 40s&w

[martinfierro]

Hi folks - I just picked up a used but excellent condition 410. After a thorough cleaning and lube, I bought it to an indoor range, bought a box of ammo and checked it out. Wow! 40cal. seems a perfect round from a standpoint of power, recoil and accuracy, and the gun is more than adequate for it.
I've bought 5 S&W pistols in the last 3 months, because of the great comments about them on this and other sources. After my first purchase of a 39-2, a 3913,4506,4516-1 and now this 410 quickly followed. I,ve already forgotten the guns I sold to be able to buy them.
I now have enough of the Smiths, so I won't haunt the stores or sites that offer them(altho' I still have other guns I no longer use). And can you have enough of them? Hmmm...

Congratulations! I love my Model 410. It's one of only three all-black 3rd Gens I own (I collect "bright look" stainless steel almost exclusively), but I had to have it. I already had a 410S with the laser grip, but the 410 I found was like brand spanking new and it just spoke to me. And it doesn't hurt that I seem to shoot .40 better than 9mm in most cases for reasons I still don't fully understand.

Can you ever have enough of them? You'll have to ask Dparker or the Kaveman that question. I'm out for the foreseeable future as my collection is about where I want it to be and there are other pressing priorities I have to deal with right now in my loony anti-2A moonbat state.
