Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Arrggghhh. Plastic Pistols

I own both, dislike both for different reasons. I can rely on a Mak though.

But what about when the hobo threw you out of his tent in the morning?

what sort of competitions did you participate in?

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

During the '80s and '90s, Louisville had two, sometimes three, IPSC clubs, and a local indoor range held Monday and Wednesday night league shoots, so I was pretty busy with those entities, and on the "off" weekends, I'd drive to Evansville IN or Brownstown IN, which would have IPSC-like shoots. I was working at that indoor range, and part of my pay package was getting components "at cost". I took full advantage of that .

I got pretty good, at one time, I was only a 1/2 % out of "A" class, at the upper tier of "B". I didn't have a real sponsorship, though, and it was all I could do to maintain a real job AND shoot a lot.

Like I said, though, it wasn't much of a life, no balance to it, and that had to change. My hands got beat up pretty good, too, and I just had to do other things, to get some balance back.

Damn I had fun, though.

M&P's are great guns & I have a couple; a full size & a Compact.
They've both been trouble free.

My wife usually carries the Compact & uses them more than me as Glocks seem to fit my hand a bit better.

I doubt you'll be sorry you picked it up..............nice snag.

I took the new-to-me Smith to the range today, and it went fine. Shot 100 rounds of 115 ball ammo, and it shot a fuzz high, but well within center of mass.

I expected no different, of course, and it did exactly like it was supposed to. It was smooth, and recoil was light, just like it was supposed to be. The trigger will take some getting used to, as I'm used to 1911 triggers, BHP triggers, etc.
Nothing new there, it's new to me, and will take a little practice getting it squared away to my trigger finger. It did shoot a fuzz high, but that's alright, I think it'll be easy to hit with, at 100 yards, if so desired. The trigger wasn't bad, just different.

I also shot the M&P 22C, but it's got a hitch in its trigger that makes it harder to shoot well, and it weighs 17 oz empty, so it's hard to shoot anyway. Coarse sights on the 22 made it harder to shoot, as well. Adjustable or not, it's harder to shoot well. No matter, I have a 4.5" SR-22 Ruger that's easy to shoot well.
Just gotta learn these new triggers, and all will be dandy.
