You guys are enablers...
...really good enablers, and I'm grateful.
I don't know how I overlooked S&W semi-autos for so long. Maybe it was because I used to work at a gun shop in the '70s and just didn't pay much attention to the 39s and 59s back then. That and the military just made me a 1911 snob though I did have a soft spot for Hi-Powers...A proper sidearm was chambered for .45 acp, or so I thought anyway, so I paid no attention to the Wonder Nines.
And then just poking around GunBroker one day I tripped over all the 915s coming on the market for what seemed like giveaway prices. 9mm was getting all this better press about being more effective these days, and I had the old, "Maybe the wife would like it and shoot it," rationale to fall back on. So I bought one about the time I found you guys.
This place is a wealth of information, I shot the 915 and fell in love with the thing, then I started scarfing up mags and spare parts, and reading this site religiously, next thing you know I had a 457 on the way, more mags, more springs, another holster...
...and more reading this place...
...then impure thoughts about a Shorty 45 until my good senses returned, at least until such time I win the lottery...
...and now a 4513 TSW (early model) on the way...
And its all your guys' fault with all the helpful information and great attitudes, so thanks! I had no idea what I was missing all these years. I'm a luddite, I don't do plastic, this place and those weapons are a blessing. Long live metal!

Enablers? Heck most here are carriers of a compulsion. Once caught you'll want every single variant they made.

Thanks for the welcome, fellas. HCH, we're back in Southern Maryland now down near the Bay, though before that we were out there in your neck of the woods in Central Ohio. I miss the fried bologna sandwiches in Waldo and the gun shows out there, well, that and shooting in the backyard.

Don't forget that pictures are required. We can't all drool unless you post pictures when you get a new gun.

A simple "Thank You" would have been enough!!!!!!!!
915 is a great start..... maybe a 4566 next for the .45 size hole..... and a 3913 for concealed carry!!!!!!!!
