Sgt. Fred Scuttle Here!!!!!





I'm the long time owner of a Marlin Camp 45 and I've looked for an Auto Pistol over the years to double up my useage of the .45ACP.



I love the 1911's ( and who does not? ) - but their cost and my hand size ( a SMIDGE small for an adult male ) has put me off them.



Now - along comes the glorious M&P 45. Had a chance to fondle one a couple of times with the wife, along with the S&W 686 - which she seems to like.



This will be my first hand gun, and just got my Michigan Purchase Permit this AM.



Looking forward to getting it and putting some rounds down range this weekend at a local outdoor range.



Many - many n00bish questions to follow I'm sure.

HI and if you like the 1911 check out the Taurus its great priced and a very accurate weapon.

I will have to stand up and defend my 1911 sickness. Small hands......You could always alter the grips or get the Micro

8) There is always a way around grip size brother. But if you are considering another .45 your decision between the 2 are right on the money.



Welcome aboard brother 8)
