Finally made up my mind!!!!
Had a hard time deciding between the S.A. XD or the S & W MP. Then what caliber? The 9mm, light, fast, efficient, economical. The 357 sig, plenty of power but expensive to shoot, unproven popularity & not out in S & W MP yet. The 40 caliber, fast, powerful & gaining popularity therefore not too expensive as a range or concealed carry piece.
Finally made a decision. My next pistol will be the S & W MP 40 caliber. Looking for best price now. 8) I know you XD fans disagree but I own 4 S & W's ( 5 if you count the PPK/S ) & like them all.
There are many great guns out there and I will own all of them as soon as I win the lottery! :lol:

I shot the S&W MP sw40 and it really didn't do anything for me. For some reason I liked the XD better. I think it was the feel and balance and weight. Once you have a Walther P99 in your hand everything else doesn't matter.
debating between a ruger 10/22T or a Kel tec SU16CA or Ruger PC40
one is cheap to shot and can shot in all the ranges, the SU16 will be funner to shoot but can only shoot in One indoor range and not many outdoor stuff around here. The carbine I can shoot anywhere since it uses 40SW like my XD40.
WAS thinking of getting a 9mm barrel fpr my XD40 but ammo prices aren't as big of a difference than I thought. I'm getting 100rnd of 40SW 165 blazer brass for $15, bought 100 rnd of WWB 9mm for $12 (renting a G19 tomorrow's guys night out). It would take 66 boxes of 100rnds to pay for the barrel and mags. I'd rather just get a rifle and enjoy my XD40 :smt068

I'm now looking for a Walther p99 DA in 9 mm full or compact (Shipwreck has infulance this one). I don't think they make them anymore because all they have is the QA on there website. I might have to get the SW99 only if they have it in DA. I have the QA and the decocker seems to be a waste but still love the gun.

I don't know - they just don't do it for me. Looking at it up close, I am not very impressed with the way it feels in my hand. And, I also don't care very much for the stock sights.Dragon said:
Also, when I shot it, it didn't really feel special. Plus, the one I shot was shooting several inches low. The guy who owned it shot about 2k thru it, and then finally sent it to someone to have it worked on. He told me before hand that itw as shooting low, but this was also his very first handgun. I therefore assumed it was him making the gun shoot low. Well, low and behold, it was the gun.
I made my next gun purchase today. Just out of curiosity, I stopped by Sportsman's Warehouse in **** Rapids, MN and was scoping out their handguns. I've been looking for something more concealable than a full size. I had looked at a Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro at another place and all of the feedback was pretty positive for a Taurus. They were asking $399.00 for it. The salesman at Sportsman's Warehouse showed me a 9MM and I said I wasn't interested and that I was looking for something in 40 cal or larger. He said they just got one in, a 45ACP, but he had to check. He came back, saying, yes, they had one and that it was $295.99. I'm like, "are you sure on that price??" I then told him, "If that's what it's priced, consider it sold". He double checked and sure enough, he was correct. I saved just over $100 on a gun that I had been wanting !! :-D

When I got my Walther P22 I said I have to get one of these in 9 or 40. 30 days la8er I'm a proud father of a P99 40 S&W. The P22 is so much fun to shoot. I'm on a hunt for the P99 DA.Dragon said:

As horrible as it is to say, I think I have all the guns I need. I'm spending money on ammo and training instead.
