Okay, several other of you guys are blameworthy as well, but I'm choosing to blame M4arc!
oops... where are those pics?

GLOCK PREFECTION
Ah, here we go...
I'm only so good at dealing with peer pressure, so without further delay, the new purchase:
I put 100 rnds (Winchester White Box) through it, and 2 buds added 50... 150 total, all on the 1st outing. No failures or problems of any kind.
I wasn't too impressed with the trigger when dry firing it at home, but it really does work pretty well in practice.
Size comparison with an ol' reliable:
From the first shot, I was hitting pretty well with this pistol. My friends (and a stranger I chatted with at the range) were pretty impressed with it as well.
I'll have to do something about those high-beams shining in my eyes while I'm shooting it (aka the white dot rear sight), but overall I'm very impressed.
Thanks guys for the peer pressure / recommendations. I guess I'll have to stop saying "nice Sigma" when I see an M&P now.
GLOCK PREFECTION
You could have made a worse choice!
I shot a pre prototype .45 about 15 months ago, and figured it would be wort a look.
I now have a 9x19 and a .45, and i'm liking them both. It is doubtful that it would ever replace any of my 1911's, but i can see a strong supplemental use for them.
I have carried the Glock (a G19) and while it does the job, the ergonomics (subjectively) suck. The M&P's don't seem to have this issue (again subjectively).
I'm looking forward to getting a lot of rounds downrange in both.
Good luck with yours Dr Mark.
I blame M4arc as well.
But I did tell you that you would fall. It was only a matter of time.
They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war...even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit - a magic blend of skill, faith and valor - that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.
HA!
You can blame me all you want
The simple truth is this; the more I shoot my M&P the more I like it and the less I shoot my Glocks. In fact, I'm thinking of selling off a couple of my Glocks so that I can finance an M&P45!
Thanks guys.
Pat - I agree re: the ergonomics of the M&P vice Glock. Maybe the rhyming of Glock and block affected Gaston's subconscious...
dport - You were right. I've been fondling M&Ps for a while, and knew I couldn't remain a virgin much longer.
M4arc - I understand your Glock point. My Glock 17 is great; I hit well with it and it's dead nuts reliable, including half of a 3-day 10-8 class. From the first shots, however, I was doing as well (subjectively) with the M&P as with the the G17.
I got this M&P9 at the last Richmond gun show, which I attended with my brother. He was this (holds finger quarter-inch apart) close to getting an M&P45, but finally declined since he had already bought 3 cases of rifle ammo.
Oh, and gotm4 is gonna cost me some money with this link: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=3553 Thanks gotm4, kinda.

GLOCK PREFECTION
You know, I have the hardest time getting across to people this very simple point:
Handguns are intensely personal weapons and no single size/design of handgun is ideally suited for everyone's anatomy.
Just as one size and style of shoe does not fit us all, one size/design of handgun isn't going to be ideal for us either.
...of course in some places when I say that I get a horde of troglodytes insisting that I need to learn how to shoot....
Personally I find my M&P in 9mm to be very easy to shoot well...almost as easy to shoot well as my 1911.
Marc, you had better jump on that deal.
