It's Official: Now I Am A Real Smith And Wesson Forum Member-First Smith And Wesson!

[Nelson Kyle K]

I went to Streicher's in Plymouth Minnesota (LE STORE) this morning, and I bought a Smith And Wesson M&P 357 Sig with night sight,3 mags and grips (LE package) and defiantly loving it. I also ordered a 40 cal barrel from Midway USA on Thursday And got it on Saturday.
So now I got 2 guns in one, and the good thing I never had to pay a thing for it. My Father promised me that if I made it through th Police Academy and got my college degree (diploma) he would fork out the money for it; well he had to eat those words and he did=.
I was in charge of the paper work and he was in charge of the money which I like a lot.
Now I can say that I am now one of guys and not a wannabe. Now I want I mean need a 4006 in my next baby and like to start collecting S&W metal frame guns now. Revolvers I can always use my Fathers S&W and Colt wheel guns he said any time I wanted to barrow them I could.

Well how many handguns do I have now?
1. Smith And Wesson M&P 357 Sig with 40 barrel
2. Sig Sauer P 226 357 Sig and with a 40 barrel
3. Beretta 92FS 9mm
4. Glock 22 40.

Welcome brother !!! Welcome to the great world of S&W firearms. I've owned several models both revolver and semi-auto and they have all worked great without any failures of any kind. When I'm not carrying my newly acquired Ruger LCP then my gun of choice is an early '80s S&W 469. It's a great 9mm auto with 12 round pre-ban mags. A local police chief bought two of them back in the day, one for himself and one for his son. His son was not interested in it and it sat unused in the box all these years. I basically bought it new in box just a few months ago. I have also thought about getting a M&P 9mm to replace it, but it runs so perfectly I think I'll just keep things the way they are.
Anyway, give us a range report and let us know how you like your new piece. Congrats on your great accomplishments too !!! Shoo

Congratulations on your new gun and especially on your other accomplishments. And sounds like Dad is a pretty sharp customer, too.

Congratulations Kyle. If your Dad wants to adopt tell him I am available. Also, if you want to have some fun with your new guns you might want to check into some of the excellent USPSA and IDPA clubs in the Twin City area. It's a great way to improve your skills and meet both law enforcement and civilians who share the enthusiasm you obviously have . Welcome aboard !

Ahh... I fondly remember getting my first S&W......

[Spotteddog]

Congratulations to you and your Dad Kyle!
Thanks for all the hard work it took on your part. And using it to protect us.

My first S&W was a M-39 9m/m that I bought while in college way back in 1979. It was my first centerfire handgun and it was a beauty. Wish I still had it, I miss the autos with high polish bluing and Walnut grips!

 

[Nelson Kyle K]

A handgun is a great reward, but now I want wait a minute I got to start to say need need need not want more Smith And Wesson's.

 

[BigCityChief]

Good luck with your new pistol. I hope your law enforcement career is as rewarding as mine was!
