Well, I finally jumped in...
I did post an intro when I joined, but since then I've just lurked. I'm 58, and was looking for my first handgun. Pretty much every question I had, I was able to search a thread that answered it (bet that makes the mods happy :mrgreen:). I had gone to the local range that has a decent selection of rentals, and my son has a Glock 19. So I knew I wanted a 9mm, small enough for CCW, and had pretty much narrowed it down to an XD or SR9. I was talking to the guy at the shop, and just wanted to feel a compact with extended an mag. I held an XD9 and liked the extended. Then he pulls out a consignment that just came in, an M&P 9c with a Trijicon front sight, an Apex DCAEK trigger job and 4 mags. Only about 200 rounds through it, and they only wanted $400. So I guess I'll be in the S&W part of the forum for a while. :rolleyes: I tried to attach pics, but I guess I haven't posted enough, it says I don't have the permissions or some such. At least I can give you a link.

Congrats! Sounds like a great deal, I really like the looks of the M&P line!
I'm new on here but I agree that you can find the answers to most questions on here! Enjoy!
