I'm a red spot on a blue dot in a red state taking on a purplish hue.

Previously an H&K man, though I still own a P30, and having owned and shot Glock and Sig Sauer primarily in the past, I have recently discovered Smith & Wesson autos. Specifically, it started with a Bodyguard .380 of all things. I wanted another pocket auto or something I could carry while jogging or dressing really light.

A 9mm Shield followed almost two weeks later.

I then found myself buying a 9mm M&P Pro - the 4.25" version - and it may be the best shooting full size I've owned and I've owned a P226, Glock 17, USP, and a few 1911s over the years.

I'm impressed with all three of these autos and can see myself owning, shooting, and carrying them for many years. M&P magazines are fetching crazy prices right now. I'm just going to have to be happy with the two that came with the Pro.

I hope to enhance my understanding and appreciation of S&W handguns hanging around here and contribute a little something along the way.

Being born and raised in Austin, I think I'm obliged to say hello.

As for your recent discovery S&W autos, congrats. Just be careful not to look into the old 3rd gens. A sickness awaits.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome.

This is not the first time I've heard of these "Gen 3" S&W autos. What gives?
 
Welcome from a fellow Texan FP2000H. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.
 
Hello from another Texan! I live between Georgetown and Liberty Hill on the South San Gabriel and when I move from here it will be to the "home".
