Hi everyone, been lurking the boards for about a week. Had been debating what my first firearm should be. I've shot a variety of .22 & 9mm(s) at the range before, but never owned my own gun. I was leaning toward the Glock 17 until I stumbled across the M&P. It was like love at first sight! This board is filled with lots of great info. good discussions and interesting point of views. Hopefully I will have my M&P 9mm within a week. So stay tuned...
