I've shot the M&P45 before and liked it, but I was on the fence between it and a Glock 21. I like the way both of them shoot, the Glock had a better trigger (gasp) with better reset, the M&P was a little more svelte and I could shoot lead bullets in it without getting an aftermarket barrel. Tough decision....until....

I was at my FFL guy's store this morning and he had an M&P with the two barrels, one threaded for a suppressor. He's been trying to get me to buy a supressor, as that's a big part of his business and he wants everyone to have one I've never really felt a need to get one, go through the extra expense and hassle, until he convinced me to step out behind the shop and shoot his suppressed M&P45, the same model he had for sale. All it took was 8 shots and I was laughing like a little kid. Guess I'm an easy sell. So I started the paperwork and should have a suppressor to go along with this bad boy in a couple of months.

Here she is, unfired, which will change after tomorrow's range trip.
