Hello Everyone,



I was very happy to find this forum!



One of the pistols I own is a 9mm Sigma which I really like, but I have been reading alot about the 9mm M&P which I like. The only problem is, as you know, they are very hard to find...



I live in Upstate NY, and nobody (dealer) has them yet. The M&P 40 finally arrived at Gander Mountain last week, but they have no clue when they will get the 9mm.

I'm glad you found the forum also... welcome...



BTW whats with all the 9mm popularity???

Thanks Jester.



I think the popularity has to do with this caliber combining a few important factors:



1 -- Big enough to provide adequate stopping power

2 -- Small enough to have high capacity magazines (17 rounds!)

3 -- Very inexpensive to shoot (~$11 per box of 50 target bullets)

4 -- Same rounds can be used in both rifles and handguns



There are others, but the above are the improtant ones for me...
