osanmike said:Hello all. I have been lurking around the forum for a while, so I thought I should sign up. I am currently in the Air Force doing my short tour (How a year away from your family is short I'll never know). I was researching a handgun to purchase when I get back to the states for concealed carry and I think I have decided on the M&P in .40. Although I have never seen or held one in person, all of the reviews I have found have been very positive. I have enjoyed the post on this forum and it has just reinforced my decision to get the M&P.
I was in the USAF active duty from 2-16-68 to 2-15-72 and spent 13 months at K-13 (Suwon AB), a detachment from Osan AB (I think I was in Korea from 1970-1971, without looking it up now). I have the M&P 40 and love it. I paid $579 for it, then they went on sale for $479 and now they have a sale going on for $399 for either the M&P 40 or M&P 9mm (plus they are throwing in a free 50-round box of Speer ammo). Problem is that I cannot afford to buy another gun now (have 9 now), but they are offering 6 months same as cash. Help me somebody, this is addictive! What am I gonna do? Can't afford to buy one, but can't turn down the great price now! Please help!!!
