Just got back from the range after trying out the Wife's new M&P .40C. She wanted a 9 at first, but I talked her into the .40 and after she held it and saw how well it fit her hand she agreed. She has been shooting 135gr bullets loaded to 1300fps and absolutely loves the gun. When she was shooting a Taurus 85 I was lucky to get her there once a year, now she's talking about going every week!
I'm thinking of trading in my Glock 27 to get one, they feel just so darn good in the hand. Mags are a bit pricey right now but should come down, and I feel good buying American. As I survey my collection I realize that it is overwhelmingly S&W. That's my brand.
