    Default Bought my first handgun

    After debating between a Glock and a Smith&Wesson MP9 I finallybought my first handgun. I went with the Smith&Wesson it just fit me better when I compared the 2 side by side. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.

    How boring would it be if we all liked and bought the same gun? Take it out and shoot the shit out of it. Enjoy.

    Yep. I made mistake and convinced myself that I wanted the Glock G17 Gen4.
    2 weeks later, I took the ass whooping and traded it for M&P9.

    Then another 2 weeks later, I bought M&P45 FDE as well...

    Both are now equipped with TFO

    I guess I'm a little bias, I have 3 M&P's. Choosing between Glock and M&P usually comes down to fit and feel, no wrong answer there.

    Welcome to PAFOA. You'll be fine, just don't use the word ''clip'' to describe mags.....lol.
    Enjoy that new pistol.

    Welcome to the "club". However, membership comes with a warning. Purchasing firearms are like opening a can of Pringles. Once you pop, you can't stop.

    I started with an FNS-40 about 2 years ago. My collection now numbers 11, and I am sure there are other people on the forum who have collections that are growing at a faster pace than mine.
