Hello gentleman



Today I went out and bought my first pistol. I had a Taurus PT1911 on hold since Monday but have had the M&P on my mind since I left the shop. I went back today and I ended up leaving with the M&P. I put 100 rounds through it today with no problems. I seemed to be left with alot of my shots. The range was poorly lit I thought(indoor). Good light on target, just hard to see my sights at the line. I'm sure that was mostly shooter error. Being a first time handgunner I need to build that strength in the hands. Anyways, I hear thread are useless without pics, so here is a pic of mine.



Take Care

Cool Pic.! Congrats on an excellent first gun pick. I had a feeling when you expressed doubt about getting the 1911 you'd be coming over to the dark side very soon, just sooner then expected.

Yeah



I was torn between the two for sure. But the 1911 was a display model and it had a few scratches and stuff, that was the biggest turn off.



I'm a tactical medic for a local SRT. We carry Sig 226 in 40cal. However, we only shoot once a month and I wanted to get a little more involved in the shooting sports. Just another hobbie to dump money into, as if archery isn't enough!!!



Thanks for the welcome!!!

Congrats! The lighting on a lot of indoor ranges leaves a lot to be desired, and as you shoot the pistol you will become more familiar with the trigger, that should help you on your accuracy.

Great choice right out of the gate, your gunna love it, I was a dedicated 1911 guy until I shot the M&P40. Be safe.
