After getting my first pistol, a Ruger SR22, in January of this year and learning how to use it, breaking it down and all the safety rules, I finally feel comfortable enough to upgrade to a 9mm. I just purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P 9 M2.0 with 4.25" barrel. This is where I bought it from.
I'll be picking it up this coming Tuesday and I'm so excited. It felt good in my hands, very light weight and it's the same size as my SR22. And for the price tag of $349.99 with no tax and free shipping, I couldn't say no.
Great 1st choice.
I have several M&P's in different calibers.
Well the light thing has lots of pros and cons. We leave a light on that cant be turn off but on one switch. Keeps hallway nice and lit. Might look into the Thunder Ranch defense videos.
