My dad went all out. He got Me, My Mother, and My Brother all identical

I know its not top line, but pretty cool for the old man to get them for us. And several boxes of hollowpoints too.

So im not complaining, I just have to get up and go fire a few mags and see whats up with it.

I think that is pretty cool.  The reviews on these new Smiths are very good, they have improved the line a whole bunch.  I would take one and shoot it for sure!

Keep it till the day you die.

Yep, it has now become the one gun you will never part with.  Good luck with it.

I used to have one, and liked it a lot.  

I did finally get out and and shot a couple of mags through it. Its pretty sweet, but its no target pistol.  Im fairly accurate at 25 yds but im getting probably 6-8" grouping, which is probably more my fault until i feel more comfortable with it. It would definately be adequate for defense purposes.

Right now its still petty heavy on trigger pull and i equate part of that to the groups.

But I think that its madatory that these guns were to have a higher trigger pull since they have the lack of a traditional safety, so to speak other than the double stage trigger.
(i guess thats how its described)


My understanding is that this will smooth out with time after a couple of hundred rounds through it.

So My only question is, Whats a good place to get cheap .40 cal ammo to plink with?

Guess Ill look at ammoman first. But any other reccomendations are appreciated.

Sweet, I got one almost  just like it.  14+1 capacity though.  Still waiting on it to come in though :(

Are you qualified to handle it?

They are "Pretty much like a Glock only cheaper" for a reason.

If you are a little better next year maybe Santa will bring you a .45 acp!

Im the only one in the family who isnt a CCW holder, I didnt like the idea of finger printing... MOM, Dad, Brother, all are.

But Im going to give in this year, I had decide already to acquire a suppressor and get my CCW so I guess ill get the ball rolling on that.

But yeah, Me thinks me can handle this one! It has a good feel to it.  
Kinda makes the 9mm seem weak.
