So I was just at the gun store and fiddled with a few handguns. I have a few couple shotguns to kill various animals including humans. I also have a couple J frames. I just wanted a semi handgun because I've never had one.

After holding a 1911 and a glock I don't see how anyone deals with the brick that is a 1911.

So I got a SW MP 40.

Questions? Comments?

I got one. The board says it's a terrible gun. But it ain't bad.

The weight? Cuz these are slim.

My first shots with a 40 were a pleasant surprise. Would love to shoot again.

I'd prefer the Glock 22, but the SW40 is a smooth shooting gun.

My sister shoots a SW .40 and loves it.











Seriously though, nothing wrong with a .40. Any gun will do if you will do.

It felt very slim. I just didn't like the feel. Held a glock and it felt real nice. Dude said "I wouldn't want that defending my family."

Again, that's what the shotgun is for.

But the 40 felt very nice. I'll shoot some crab traps and report back.

GTFO. This is not a platform debate. I just want to know if I threw $400 away.

Saw a deal the other night on the M&P LS. Made me rethink my future purchase.

What'd they say? They'll just keep trying or come back tomorrow? You sure you didn't fail the background check and next time they'll be the gestapo waiting for you?

I've been wondering this too.

I have an M&P40 that I absolutely love, but I wouldn't feel the same way about owning a Sigma in 40.

Is it an M&P or a Sigma? Pretty big difference. I own both, the Sigma stays in the truck exclusively.

I don't even know what this means. Do you mean call the Glock a brick? Because that would make sense, otherwise you might be the first person I have ever heard of that thinks a 1911 is less ergonomic than a Glock...

System was down. They wouldn't even let me fill out the paperwork.
