My workplace is at the 1/2 way point to the range. I had to work until noon today, so I thought I might as well go to the range.
As I packed my range bag, I just instinctively packed the M&P 9 and M&P 22. I paused. I never do that. I usually deliberate on what to bring to the range.
The range session was uneventful. In my hands the M&P holds a 2" group at 25ft. Because the M&P's are a perfect fit, shooting was instinctual and natural.
Up until about 4 hours ago, I was hesitant to sell my other 9mm's. One always did something better than the other. This day reinforced that the M&P is the semi-auto for me.
I just finished selling my other 9mm's to friends. Gone are:
I also sold a Ruger LCR .357. I like the little snubbie, but it doesn't fit any purpose for me. There's no advantage in it for me.
With a fist-full of cash, I went to the LGS. I figured I'd find something I want. I handled every semi-auto that was on my "list". None of them felt right compared to my M&P 9, so I walked out empty handed.
9mm is my preferred caliber. I now only have one semi-auto pistol chambered in 9mm. I have only one handgun I prefer to use for home defense. I have other semi-auto pistols: a few .22lr, a LCP, and a SR1911. I use these for range fun only.
I thought I'd feel bad about the sell off, but I don't. I actually feel better.
