It's a mental thing.
I get some grief over mine...until they shoot it, lol.
Welcome tonow thats a good news.. nice thread.. ready to bang with 9mm..
If a Smith M&P is in the future, I would highly recommend the Pro Series because the trigger is excellent and worth every penny extra. The standard M&P pistol has a trigger that rivals a Keltec P3AT...pretty brutal.
If you like the 9 MM in a 1911 platform, don't overlook the Springfield "Loaded" Stainless 9 MM. It's more or less a Range Officer in Stainless Steel. The gun runs like a Rolex, and is very accurate. Don't listen to all of this, "If it's a 1911, it's got to be in .45", nonsense. I thought like that too....Until I actually shot one for an entire afternoon. I couldn't put the damn thing down. I took me a while to find one, but when I did I bought it immediately. With the price of ammo lately, you'll shoot it a lot more than the .45 models.
I agree wholeheartedly. Carry what you shoot best.Billt I am with you on that. Like John Mellencamp says; "Forget all that Macho $#!^ and learn how to play guitar". I am not the greatest shot but if I can shoot a 9mm 1911 better than a .45 auto 1911, why wouldn't I? Isn't the purpose of shooting to shoot well? Sure, I could download my .45 but then whats the point? I will admit that almost 1/2" hole in the barrel is impressive, but a tighter group with faster follow up shots is more impressive for me since I usually don't see the muzzle of the barrel anyway.
My experience with most people when they shoot mine is that they like it. Some like it so much, they go out and buy one. Mark my words you will be seeing more and more of them on the range and at the games. I have striker fired pistols and you can make them pretty decent, but I haven't found anything yet that is like the 1911 trigger.
