I joined this forum several years ago to learn about the (then new) M&P15 I'd purchased. Since then, I've learned much about S&W guns in general, and admired how well this forun has kept civility and decorum at the forefront. I only belong to one other gun forum (I'll call it the "REAL" Ruger forum) and they too stress their admins to keep politics and religion out of the discussions. I've quit every other one that even started to drift to anything but why we are there - to discuss our hobby. Major admiration to our admins. Thank you for a civil place to discuss things!
