Help me choose my next pistol!

Buy a S&W M&P. Doesnt matter what caliber. They all blow Glocks out of the water. Or just keep saving and buy a Barrett.

If you don't have a 1911, that would be my recommendation, depending on your budget. If you want a sub-$500 polymer 45, I really dig my M&P45c.

He's one of the weirdos that have switched to M&P and then back to Glock.

As an M&P-toting former Glockist myself, I'll say that "They all blow Glocks out of the water" is quite an exaggeration. Both are boringly reliable and well designed/built self defense tools and I would and have trusted my life to either. For me the M&P just fit my hand better.

I'll give a G-42 the nod.. I thought a G-41 would be the ultimate and I just didn't care for it and I was sure I wouldn't like a 42 but after shooting one it's a really soft shooting small pistol..
Of course there's nothing wrong with a 1911. Personally I would try to pick a series I Kimber if I were looking in that market.
I don't think you would go wrong in either direction.

Forget the Aimpoint, because you don't even shoot the AR. Don't even go down the reliability path, because you will never reach a conclusion. Just get a 1911 and enjoy it.

Actually, I have been shooting my AR quite a bit. And I'll be going shooting again on Monday, with my 10lbs of H2.

Had a M&P. It was a piece of crap.

He's also a bit of a drama queen when it comes to his M&P experience.

Tuesday at Bubs, you're not allowed to sit at my table.

Sorry guys I really want to like my M&P. It has the looks, it has the feel, it runs great. Stupid thing just will not shoot accurate enough for me.

Good question. I think my next handgun will be a 1911 that actually works. (I know, good luck right) The Range Officer in 9mm seems to be calling my name, except for the fact that it doesn't have a ambi safety. Have been running my CZ P-07 a lot since it came back from CGW. Still nothing like the price, availability, and durability of Glock mags though.
I assume it is just a for the heck of it gun though.

You can add one real easy. Heck, the grips panels are already cut for ambi-safeties. FWIW, I love my RO in 9mm. I haven't shot my M&P since I got the RO. Once I figure out where I can shoot within reasonable driving distance from Bloomington, I'll be back at it. And hopefully next year when I am in a house and things have returned somewhat to normal I will be shooting steel challenges and IDPA with it. I use 10 round mags so I don't even have a handicap in IDPA!

Come to the Bub's in Bloomington and we will have an Elk burger and talk guns and mountain bikes. I should have my new mountain bike next Tuesday!

Neither will mine, but I still think it may be me. At the end of a class I took once, I shot one of the instructors Pro models and was ringing the steel real good. Then he shot mine and did the same. He thinks I just need more trigger time. Meh, maybe. Still considering adding the Apex FSS kit or selling it.

Ah, I see. Sounds like fun, but unfortunately I won't be able to make the drive up from Bloomington.

I know that was a GRAND statement and for all practical purposes they might as well be the same gun. But I too feel the M&P fits my hand better. I just like rattling the cage a bit.

In my opinion if all of your pistols are Glocks, buy something that isn't a Glock.

I love Glock as much as the next guy but variety is the spice of life. 1911, .22 target pistol, something.

<----- Or a nice revolver, like my avatar

Why would I want to sit a ginger table anyway??


Side-note: At the ACT shotgun class I was looking around the table for a ginger so I'd could introduce myself, but there weren't any.

Yeah, blame it on the gun.

The question is why WOULDNT you want to sit at the ginger table? I'm awesome.


I wasn't able to make the ACT class. I had to work
