as I don't use it for CC like my BHP. Plus, I don't want to spend the money to get it set-up the way I would want it to be for concealed carry purposes (All .45s are kinda finicky and would benefit from a light workover by a competent pistolsmith to ensure everything is working they way it should be). I just don't see the point of having a gun that I'm not using much, I guess.
I'm thinking of picking up a S&W M&P compact 9mm with the money that I get for the Colt. My BHP with 13+1 rounds is a tad bit heavy, which is why I like the M&P: it's lightweight, reliable as hell and good to go out of the box, save for the trigger. Here's a pic of my CC BHP and the Colt:
Another thing I like about the M&P's are the built in light rails, which my BHP doesn't have. My Colt could be retrofitted with a Dawson light rail, but I don't feel like spending the money to get the Colt set up the way it should be.
I love my classic single action pistols, but with the new M&P's are just such a good bang for the buck, as they pretty much good to go outta the box, save for the trigger. I spent about $575 on my BHP to get it set up the way I needed to have it: relieved the hammer shank to eliminate hammer bite, better sights (Heine Straight Eight Slant Pros), stippling front and back, trigger job, de horn and new finish. With the M&P you just need a trigger job and you're ready to go.
Whaddya guys think?
