Which one?

[PrimeTime]

Hey guys I am new to the sport and just starting out, I would like to stay in production and not get too crazy into spending a whole whack of money and came up with 2 types of guns just wanted to get a different opinion

1.) Smith & Wesson M&P .40

2.) Beretta PX4 Storm .40

Price range is good for me just for the gun I know everything else will be more

 

[7.62mm]

Why choose .40? Why not 9mm?

Other than that,toss a coin.....the only thing I don't like about the M&P is the Mag safety....other than that........

M&P, wider selection of holsters and parts on the market. There is a new M&P that comes from the factory without the mag safety.
The M&P is used in production division far more then the Storm

 

[John in B.C.]

The M&P is a good starter gun. Very easy to operate.

The mag safety is very easy to remove. Instructions are readily available online.

You may want to reconsider the .40 though. No advantage in PD as everyone is scored minor anyhow. The vast majority of PD shooters use 9mm as it is cheaper to shoot and brass is everwhere when you want to reload for it.

What about other classes with the 9 mm can I get into those also or do you have to get into different guns

You can shoot any division with any gun. Except revoler division. You will be scored as minor though. For major you will need to shoot .40, 38Super, or even 9mm major.

Why not go 45acp 1911, I have seen Beretta's jam.

?? why not get a water gun then, thats the only gun I haven't seen jam. Any gun can jam if its not taken care of or shot properly

M&P and in 9mm....but......if you can, try them both and see which you prefer.
