So far it's highest and best use is as a box opener. Guess i'm lucky for it.

Haha same. Opens them quite well though.

I carry a leatherman everyday, I am amazed at how often I use it.

I have added a couple of new S&W revolvers to the safe, (one just shipped, so it won't be in my hands for a while).

S&W now has the lead in my collection.

Anyone here a fan of Crossbreed holsters?

Ditto!

I just ordered an M&P 9c for conceal and carry.
They're fantastic guns

Nice, I'm on a wait list for a 9mm m&p shield.

Do you have much m&p experience? I've put a couple boxes through my m&p40 and I find it to be consistently low, glocks are spot on, for me. It does feel great inmy hand.

I've been running one for over a year now. IMO, the holster is superior for all-day carry as your belt and trousers carry, support and spread the weight of your rig. Very comfortable, highly recommended.

I sold my old P229R this past summer to fund my Ed Brown but the fact of the matter was that I missed having at least one Sig.

Well, with all the arm twisting you did, i picked up a P30 in 9mm today.

I never thought i'd sell my Glock 23, but it seems as that might happen since it's the odd caliber now. I don't know, maybe i keep it with a limited amount of ammo.

Along with a S&W M&P 15-22, which should be a ton of fun to shoot. On the cheap too!!

I got one of these as well... what is "on the cheap?" I didn't get a steal but didn't get gouged either..

Haha you chose wisely! Throw up a pic. And glad to hear you were able to find that 15-22! Wish I had one.

Don't sell the Glock 23 man. I have sold quite a few pistols in my day (and I regret selling most of them) but my Gen3 G23 is untouchable. There's just something about it. I just picked up a few spare recoil spring assemblies for it because I A) shoot it a lot and B) plan on keeping it until I'm dead.

Not that the rifle was cheap. I think they are just about the same where ever you go. I mean shooting it is super cheap.

My local gun shop is pretty slick. Everything that is now rare (AR15) due to high demand is now very expensive. Everything that is not rare (15-22) they only keep a limited amount on the showroom floor. Last friday they told me those were the last 5 they would have for a while. Today they had 10 out on display. At least they aren't raising the prices on them. I'm just happy to have a .22 plinker that reportedly doesn't jam! The fact that it functions just like an AR is a bonus.

Looking forward to shooting them both soon!!

I'll probably keep the G23. I don't even know what gen it is. I bought it in 1997. I'll probably make that my bedroom PDW. I keep a decent amount of ammo for each caliber i have, so with PD being it's only duty, i'll only need a box or two of rounds.

If I find an S&W 15/22 its mine, some local stores still have the HK 416 .22 available, but I have read that the S&W is better.

MisterSkiMask · 12-28-2012, 04:58 PM

I have decided to go through and clean my collection, some that have not been fired in probably 9 or 10 years.

I disassembled and cleaned my Browning Hi-Power and my new M&P 40 back to back. I was struck by the quality feel of the Hi-Power compared to the polymer framed M&P. The Hi-Power feels so smooth and like something that will last forever where the polymer gun (Glocks included) feel like disposable toys in comparison.

Make no mistake, I like my polymer guns, and have no doubt that they are at least as accurate and reliable as Hi-Power or a good 1911 (which is a similar design for those who are new to hand guns), but the contrast in feel when you take them down and manipulate them is striking.

I also know that they are antiquated and blah blah blah, but it is hard to fault the looks and function of a high quality revolver.

I encourage anyone to get their hands on a good steel gun, 1911 or wheel gun, if you have the chance. They feel so solid.

I don't even own a .22 at the moment (much to my chagrin). I used to have a Ruger 10/22 but I sold it to fund something else.

And regarding the Glock - If you snap a picture of it I'll be able to tell you what generation it is.

If it is rail-less and lacks finger grooves on the grip of the frame it is most likely a Gen2.

Yeah I handled the HK 416 .22 and wasn't very impressed by it (sadly). Go for the S&W for sure.

Yeah it's a really nice Wilson. Not mine though. I'm trying to track one down.

Just took this recent purchase out today for the first time. Loving the short reset trigger!

My addiction is worse then I previously thought. I thought my collection was pretty complete, but now I find myself lusting after a Colt SAA, a S&W model 41, and a series 70 Colt 1911.

For better or worse none of these are available locally. The bad part about that is bidding on gunbroker after a couple of drinks...
