Default First Purchase: M&P 9mm

Hi all,

Just wanted to post a few pics of my first handgun purchase: a Smith & Wesson M&P chambered in 9mm. 17+1 rd capacity, no mag or internal lock safeties.

I tried to get pics of the major components of the gun. If anyone is interested in seeing other details of the gun, let me know and I'll try to post them.

Congrats CR! That thing is looking lovely!

Im sure you'll bring it to the next PAFOA shoot coming up..

now the question is...

can it out-shoot my XD?

By the way.. how does it feel to go from being a "Subject" to being a "Citizen"?

I doubt it will in my hands, at least not yet

Feels good. A weighty responsibility but one I gladly accept.

CR, congrats on your first handgun purchase. I think that it's a nice piece, and I hope that you really enjoy it. I also hope there aren't any major issues or things that need to get worked out since it's a new model. Let us know how it shoots.
