Was there around 5:00 this afternoon, no brass 9mm left. Had plenty of zinc plated and steel 9mm left though. Grabbed a couple boxes of zinc plated to get me through through the range this weekend.

Check out armslist as MrVvvroom recommended above. There were some there last month when I was looking. I picked up a used M&P as my first handgun for under $450 used and I really like it. I also went to Bill's and shot a few different guns, that's how I decided on the M&P. Good luck.

OK, you guys convinced me. Bought MrVvrroomm's wife's M&P this afternoon. Really great guy to deal with. He even brought me into Burnsville Pistol Range and let me shoot with him and gave me a lot of great advice and pointers. Thanks Bruce!

What I ask is "why are you selling it", "what is the round count", "are you the original owner", "have you done any work on this or had someone else do work on this?" Anyway, sorry for the manifesto, good luck, ask other people questions, shoot a bunch at bil...

It wouldn't hurt to mention here what you're thinking of getting. Looking at picking up this S&W M&P 9mm: http://www.armslist.com/posts/196124/minnesota-handguns-for-sale--smith-and-wesson-mp9--9mm Hopefully they are a member and will chime in. I've already exchanged emails with...

New to handguns so I'm just wondering what I should be aware of or questions to ask when purchasing a used handgun from a private party?

Thanks

Stop, back up, and look at a good .22 like a ruger or a buckmark. there its 20 bucks for 500 rounds, and that means a lot more shooting. sure, its not a cool or macho as a big gun, but it will teach you more about shooting faster than any other option. :shock: After ALL that work to get him to 9mm,...

Thanks to everyone and I took all of you advice. I went to Bill's today and shot the M&P 9, Glock 19 and XDm 9. I'm amazed at how fast you can go through the ammo. Of the three the M&P felt the best and had the best results. Now to find a good deal on a used one...

I guess I was swayed from all the talk that the 9mm was not a good round for self defense. I can't see myself ever needing it for self defense but you never know. I did briefly look at the price difference between the 9mm and 40 S&W and it was about $10 per box of 100. I did see Fleet Farm has t...

Hey everyone. Decided a few weeks ago to get into shooting. Been lurking here reading through the posts. Just got my permit to purchase in the mail today so I'm officially looking for a handgun now. Right now I'm looking at the following: Ruger SR40 Springfield XD 45 S&W M&P Might head up to...
