Hello, I'm live in the South Bay Area of Northern California, though hope to move to a more gun-friendly state someday. I jsut bought an M&P9 after much research. It was between the Walther p99 and the Smith--the price and feel of the Smith sold me.
The only other gun I own is a S&W 686P 4" barrel. It's a great gun even with a lock, but I felt I needed a semi-auto. In less than 10 days it should be in my hands. WEll it's good to be a part of the community.
Ciao,
Effy
P.S. I did rent several guns in my search. The Glock 19 beat the hell out of my hands for some reason. My .357 had better felt recoil, or maybe it my technique. ::Shrug:: The Ruger p95 peaked my interest due to the price, but I couldn't hit anything with it due to a rather large grip. The XD was nice enough, but interchangeable backstraps are a great feature IMO, so that left the Smith and Walther, and I shot those better. Well I hope i made a good decision.
