It's Official...I'M SICK!!!

[NICKTHEFISH]

Yep! I got it bad! M&P-ITIS!!!

I got a the 40fs duo-tone range kit from the wifey for our 20th anniversary in may and noticed I was feeling a little weird.

I carry a Taurus PT145 as my conceal weapon but immediately fell in love with my new addition. I didn't carry the smith because I didn't have a holster and I like the idea of 45 cal anyways.

Well, today was the gun show in south Florida! I traded my Taurus + an Astra .357 4" magnum and some cash for a M&P 45fs and a holster. Guess what I'm gonna be carrying now

See my thread about the 40Compact here: http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/251835-why-i-feel-m-p40c-best-first-gun.html and yes you will buy more reliable guns I now have several mostly M&Ps...2 nine millimeters, three 40 calibers and two 45's plus a Glock G26 and a Smith and Wesson Model 59 15 round 9 millimeter as well as a compact 357 SIG and fullsize 357SIG!

You do mean the duo-tone 40 right? If so, it was a 20th anniversary present from wifey!
The receipt says $625.

It looks like Cabela's special two-tone dark earth and black -- N - I - C - E !

Smart move grabbing the 45fs, Resistance is Futile!

I bought my 1st pistol (M&P9fs) just over a month ago and am already thinking about a 9c or Shield for better conceal carry.

 

[GregoryJ]

I must be afflicted with the same disease. In less than one month, I have purchased two M&P 9MM guns, a compact and a Shield. I used the compact for the range portion of the CCL class a couple weeks ago. When I found a store that had a Shield in stock, I had no choice but to buy it.

YEP

THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE THE WIFE FOUND IT AND HAD IT SENT TO OUR LOCAL FFL FOR PICK UP!

VERY IMPRESSED! NOW I GOT 2 AND A 3RD ON THE WAY!!!

WHAT...

HAPPENING...

ME???

I think I may be exhibiting a few of the symptoms myself (by order of acquisition); Victory model, M&P9fs, M&P15-22, M&P9c Crimson Trace, M&P9LE.......

I'm going to go broke with this illness. I keep buying more pills to pop and at like 10.00/box it's getting pricy. I need cheaper hobbies. haha.

Yeah, cleaned out WalMart again! Unfortunately, two shooters in USPSA practcal shooting, and wifey in A Girl and A Gun means we go through it pretty fast. Fortunately we use .22's to shoot steels!

You could try fishing, rod and reel - $100-$300, full tackle box - $250-$1000, boat and trailer - $3000-$50000.

When my second wife complained about my gun habit, I always told her, you should be glad I don't fish.

 

[M&P Freak]

I used to race motorcycles. My wife loves my gun hobby, she remembers how expensive motorcycles are.

How about Golf!!!!

I have a M&P9 FS, an M&P22 and a M&P CO2 pistol. I was in my LGS yesterday and he had his pistols in the safe. There was a tag in the counter for a Shield40 for $420. I asked about it and he said he had gotten 2 and sold them on Gunbroker.com for $520.

Firearms (especally small handguns) are selling like crazy right now. Some are going to women who are new shooters and some are going to folks concerned the Government will soon crack down on handgun sales. I think I will sit back for a while and see if sanity finds it way back to handgun prices.

GOLF???
