Picking up S&W M&P .45 tell me no?

[srt-4_i_swear]

think we finally decided to replace the ruger with the M&P .45 since S&W is offering a rebate and 2 extra mags free.

[Dawkins]

You'll shoot your eye out kid!

[srt-4_i_swear]

damn forgot about that. Don't tell my mom hahah

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

How much is the rebate?

[srt-4_i_swear]

50 dollars and they will mail you the two extra mags.

NO
Buy a Sig P229 instead. LOL

Actually, I looked at the M&P's before I bought my Sig. They are nice, but decided to go with a P229 instead.

What are those things going for now days?

[srt-4_i_swear]

500 for 9 and 40 550 for 45 at academy

[GT98SVO]

M&P is excellent polymer gun.

Springfield 45 holds 13.

[BottleRocket]

Shot an M&P .40 at the bullet trap today, was very impressed. I heard they were at the gun show for $409

[sanddragger28]

no

[srt-4_i_swear]

any justification?

Yep, my mother-in-law and brother in law both picked up M&P Compact 9s for right at $400/ea @ the Gun show this past weekend...
Saw the same ones at a local store for $500~

The $50 rebate is also a plus, and the 2 free mags, seems like a pretty good deal.

[srt-4_i_swear]

i would think the compact is a bit cheaper than the full sized

[PooterWS6]

i would think the compact is a bit cheaper than the full sized
It was still $100 cheaper at the gunshow that it was at any local shop;)


Oh, and typically the subcompacts are the same price, and in some cases more than the full size models.

[srt-4_i_swear]

Gun show prices < academy but too late for that i guess. I want to be ready to stop a bear at the lease this weekend if necessary

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

If I were worried about bear, I'd take a .44 Magnum.

[srt-4_i_swear]

40 miles west of FT worth not sure about the bear issue. Mainly just Mountain Lion or Hogs neither of which would be much of an issue

[Billyb0b81]

haha i wouldn't worry about bear this close to Ft. Worth. But if you need some power you can borrow my lil' pea shooter!!

[srt-4_i_swear]

i did get to pull the trigger on one of those it was an amazing experience. My dad has a lil ole 357 mag id the 45 isn't enough or the 12ga with turkey or buckshot

[Billyb0b81]

yea, it is pretty crazy to shoot :D

[srt-4_i_swear]

little difficult for concealed carry though....

[BottleRocket]

little difficult for concealed carry though....

afraid the bear might see it?

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

little difficult for concealed carry though....Are you looking for something for concealed carry, or something to stop bear/mountain lion/hogs?

[srt-4_i_swear]

basically a paper killing gun that could hold its own at the deer lease

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

I'm not sure how well .45 ACP would do against hogs, mountain lions, bears, or anything else you might run into at a deer lease, but I know that you wouldn't have any trouble stopping them with a .44 Magnum. I would take a .44 Magnum.

[srt-4_i_swear]

as much fun as it would be too expensive to take to the range very often
