I'll take it.

I agree. In fact I'm heading out tomorrow to do just that. Because I live in BFE it's pretty much a full days journey driving there and back. But, it's the only option I have. The closest M&P is about 170 miles away up and over the mountains. That's one of the reasons I'm really trying to narrow...

chuck s, I can certainly understand you opinion of buying a firearm (any firearm) because it appeals to you. the fact is though that I tend to keep my guns for a very long time. I enjoy the look and the feel of wood and steel. I am not looking for a "combat weapon" as I will likely not be...

Looking at pics of the M&P I can't help but wonder about that strange trigger. I've never owned a plastic gun and having a crazy looking trigger is not making it any easier to accept. I'm either buying an M&P 40 or a Beretta 96 in 40cal. The Beretta is a lot more traditional in appearance than...

I have a couple of questions regarding the Beretta if you still have it. Did you buy it new or used. Do you know about what model year it is. The finish looks pretty good in the pics. Does it look as good in real life? Any idea how many rounds have been put through it? Lastly, is this price from...

Thanks, I'll add them to my favorites. I was hoping to find factory Smith barrels (mostly because of price) but I will keep these guys in mind. Anybody here familiar with KKM barrels?

Searching a few of the bettter known suppliers everyone seems to be back ordered on replacement barrels for a full size 9mm. Is this an item that is usually available or has there been a problem finding them. I don't actually need one right now but I do plan on buying one and was just checking...

Numerich lists stripped full size 9mm slides for 99.95

Okay never mind. I checked buds again under their Law enforcement section and found "em.

When I checked Bud's the best price I found was $478 for the same model but with only 2 magazines. Is that price offered only to LEO's?

Thanks. That explains it.

I was in the market for a new full sized pistol in either 9mm or .40 cal (.40 preferrred) and was not even considering the M&P because I wanted an external hammer and the option of single action. However, I have run into what looks to me like a fantastic deal on one with less than a box of .40...

When you guys say "shoots to point of aim", what range are to talking. On a full size pistol I want my sights on at about 25 yards (plus or minus).

Thanks guys. that's what I thought but I wanted to know for sure before plunking down money for anything.

What do you guys think of the the factory adjustable rear sights found on the gen 3 auto's. I see them on line with fixed or adjustable. All things being equal I would lean toward adjustable (non ccw weapon) but would like to hear some opinions from owners. thanks
