Jumped into the fray!

[Potshot21]

Finally, after years of procrastination, I walked into SFRC with a newly minted RPAL and purchased my first pistol! I told myself I was holding off as I spent enough on long guns, but with political climates the way they are, I couldn't put it off any longer.

When the transfer goes through, I will be picking my very own Smith & Wesson M&P 9 2.0 range kit. Felt good in the hand and liked the controls and sights.

First of many I hope!

Kind of a silly post, but I had to share my excitement

Happy Shooting!!!

Good gun for your first pistol.

Congrats. Before you get to much into buying semi-autos make sure you try a revolver. I bought 3 semi-auto 9mm and then I tried a revolver, wished I'd been introduced to that first (of course a guy really needs several of both).

Good job man!

 

[Garaldtao]

excellent, potshot. Good choice on the M&P. Just a suggestion... I think your next restricted purchase should be an AR15.

Not silly at all.

Congrats and welcome to the club.

My thoughts exactly! Next purchase is an AR15 for sure as soon as I can free up some funds for it, hopefully before mid-October.

After that it's a toss up between good 357 revolver or a 1911. I've always had a thing for 1911s, but I am interested in trying out a revolver too to cover all the bases.

congratulations.
you should do a range report with pictures of dead paper when you get it sorted.

A nice 1911 and a 357mag revolver should be in everyone's stable.

Congrats on the M&P, great choice, I love the look of the 2.0! You are heading in the right direction with the AR, revolver and 1911 lol, keep up the good work

I wouldn't get too excited about about the 1911 unless you're big on the historical aspect. A S&W 686 or a Ruger GP100 (I have both) is pretty much the best thing you shoot. I have a .22 revolver (617) a .22 semi (Browning) many 9mm semis and a Redhawk in .44 and my .357s are the favorites. Don't buy anything until you try a .357 revolver.

Very nice!

My retired former Pastor has one; it is a great pistol, and it really does fit my hand. Nice Gun.

I bought a lower and built my own. That was a ton of fun, and it amortized out the cost... plus I have a very cool rifle that shoots great!

I had revolvers in the past, but am considering a 357 S & W for PPC to reduce the brass chasing. I have a Nork 1911. I had no intention of ever having a 1911, but it was sitting at a dealer in his used gun case, and was cheap; it needed a good clean up as the original owner never cleaned out the brown gunk, and the adjustable sight was way off. A little work and it turned out to be a real shooter. It's a keeper. I likely have put 3-4000 rounds through it, and it's still tight and amazingly accurate.
