You can get the same effect with a H-D and it fits in the garage.C-dub wrote:C'mon, go big if you're going to do it. F350mojo84 wrote:Too many reasons to list.

If I do anything with the SO I use a 9. Though that gets more and more rare the busier work becomes.mojo84 wrote:gigag, Do you carry a 9mm for duty?
All I know, is that I wouldn't want to get shot with any caliber.
I just couldn't do it; I tried, but I just couldn't!! I now have a hi-cap handgun on my hip and I still have a 1911 .45ACP on my hip. I forgot about a gun I haven't shot in at least 15 to 20 years. It's a Paraordnance frame, Caspian slide, Wilson barrel (wouldn't do that again), Bomar sights and Brown parts. I had it built when I was shooting IPSC and Paraordnance was only making frames. It's a bit on the heavy side, but I was surprised that the felt weight isn't much if any heavier than my 5" Government Model. Life is good!Charles L.

I've been seriously considering switching to an M&P 9 for daily carry because of the greatly increased firepower. (17+1 with 1 or 2 more mags.) I've never worried about the ammo load until the ISIS issue came up. However, the extra ammo could play a role in "ordinary" shootings since it seems thugs have realized that there are more effective with multiple attackers.
My wife carries a Kimber Ultra Carry in .45ACP and she may switch to an M&P 9 Compact. She'd be doing it more because the reduced felt recoil would be easier on her hands. Arthritis is making it somewhat painful to shoot her Kimber.

I went through the same soul searching and came up with a different solution - more .45 ACP magazines!Charles L. Cotton wrote:I just couldn't do it; I tried, but I just couldn't!!

Excellent solution. Hmmm, wonder where I can carry that third spare mag.Excaliber wrote:I went through the same soul searching and came up with a different solution - more .45 ACP magazines!Charles L.
