My First Gun w/ Pics

[imp22b]

Today I purchased my first gun. It took me a long time to decide between the Springfield XDm .40 and the S&W M&P40. At first I was leaning toward the XDm but after shooting the M&P and feeling it in my hand it came out on top. Originally the Glock G22 was what I though I would end up with but the finger grooves didn't feel right to me.

I purchased my gun from Wulff's Gun Shop in Connersville, IN. After pricing around he had the best price by far. INGO members also receive an additional discount. Jim and Linda were both very friendly and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend them for your future gun purchases, even if you have to make a drive (nearly 2hrs round trip for me)

Cant wait for this Saturday when I can go shoot it. Depending on how that goes I might put in some Apex hardware.

(Please excuse the finger prints, I couldn't keep my hands off of it.)

I would like to hear any thoughts has on my new purchase.

I haven't shot a M&P before, but SMITH & WESSON make EXCELLENT guns

Congrats on the choice!!!!! I was the same way...I shot some Glocks, a Springfield, but when I picked up the MP, I knew that was the gun for me. And being a lefty, all the controls worked for me. (Took me 2 minutes to flip the mag release to other side).

I tried both the 9mm and the 9mm Pro....fell in love with the Pro trigger. So that is what I purchased.

It's a great gun.....I have 1200 rounds through mine now........and climbing


BTW....now you can buy the 9mm barrel and the .357 barrel and shoot whatever you want

Congrats on your first gun, and big congrats on which one you chose. You'll love the M&P, I've been a daily carrier of a 40c for a couple of years now and still love this gun. I've got 1000 or so flawless rounds thru mine and have plans on a 40pro in the near future. +1 to you.

I am in the same boat as HighStrung...carry the compact, but I also have the FS in .40 as well. Apex parts in both and XS sights as well. They both run flawless with everything I put through em. Feel perfect in my hands.

Great first purchase.
