Looks like fun. I want to get an AR at some point. I shot a Colt 9mm SMG today at Targetmaster and it was an awesome gun.

motorvated 02-08-2010 10:43 AM

Nice looking gun, I'm sure the price tag was steep too. Why so many clips though?

11secdsm 02-12-2010 12:42 PM

I bought the entire setup from a customer of mine who's an avid collector. The deal was actually a barter for services at my shop (partial payment on his part). Why so many magazines? You can never have too many. :) Plus he gave them to me for free as part of the deal. Couldn't refuse.

Red94Celica 02-12-2010 01:02 PM

Just wondering haha. The built in laser is awesome, I just bought my first gun last week, a smith and wesson 9mm. Talked the guy down to $350 for it brand new, they wanted $390. It came with two magazines.

Red94 Celica - I have the same gun but I have the bi-tone model. I like the gun a lot except for the heavy trigger pull which S&W will fix for free if you like. Overall its not a bad gun for the price. I'm not sure where you went but Tanner's had it for 349.99 when I got mine. If you have any ?s feel free to PM me. I have prob about 1000-1200 rnds though mine with no problems at all

I'm glad to hear that you have that many rounds through it and no problems. I've yet to get to shoot mine, not a member at any gun clubs yet...even though theres one 1/2 mile from my house. What do you mean by the heavy trigger pull? I bought mine from a local gun barn about 15 minutes from my house.

Most guns have a 5-7 lbs trigger pull. This is how hard it is to pull the trigger. I believe on our guns its right around 10-11lbs. This is because there is no safety and S&W does not want anyone blowing thier foor off. I've read on a couple forums that S&W will lower the pull to about 5-6lbs for free if you send your gun in. Since I carry mine a lot I have not sent it in. No matter how light the trigger the gun will not fire unless you pull the trigger of course. I'm not sure how close you are to Bensalem, PA but I have a membership to Pistol People on State road if you ever wanted to go there.

Its a little over an hour to bensalem from my place, I was actually down there like 3 weeks ago to pick up parts for my jeep. I'm ok with the trigger being at 10-11lbs because I'll be carrying. Probably rarely though.

1988 Olds 02-12-2010 05:31 PM

Yeah in all honestly any glock has no external safety and a 6-7lb pull and they seem to be alright. Once you go to the range a few times you'll know what I mean. Just make sure you take care of it and you shouldn't have any problems with it. Only thing I don't like about the gun is there are not many acessories for it

It was my first gun purchase, and only really intend to target shoot with it. Carry on ocassion, and hope to god i never need it if I would be carrying. Bullets seem fairly cheap for the 9s, a box of 50 for 11.00

I'll just leave these here. My carry pieces. HK P2000 9mm in a Comptac MTAC holster and a Kimber Warrior in a Milt Sparks Versa Max II.

i just picked up a brand new Smith and Wesson M&P40C today.. put 100 rounds through it within an hour of signing the papers. i absolutely LOVE that gun. the trigger is super smooth and has a real crisp break. the trigger safety doesn't make it feel 'squishy' like i thought it would. i'd post up pics but it's nothing fancy, just a brand new gun lol. the crossbreed supertuck holster is on the way, can't wait!

WKderF 02-14-2010 02:04 AM

just thought id posit up here, but my friend and I are planning to head to classic pistol tomorrow to celebrate our anti-valentines day.

anyone else wanna join us?
