Not to be an ***, but just to be technically correct:

A clip is just that... a clip. A magazine is a spring-loaded container full of lead.

can I just use the "stopping power" perk and be done with it?

^ This. There are a lot of gun ranges around me that do rentals. They have a wide array of used handguns behind the counter, you rent them for like $5 on top of their usual range fees and you can go try them out. I'm a huge fan of Glock's pistol design just on technical merits (mostly reliability and simplicity), but I know a few guys who won't shoot them just because they're a horrible fit for their hands, so they shoot HK, Sig, what-have-you.

I really wanted to get a Springfield XD9SC but when I actually went to check it out I found that I hated it. I went home with a Glock 26 instead.

eh....whatever the case is. I am going to get the M&P even though I didn't try it. It is quite a rare kit. Plus, it is like being issued a weapon. You have to get used to it and count on it to save your life. Shitty beretta :p

Although, I am definitely going to look into the XDM40 since I want that too.

The gunshop that is holding the M&P kit has an indoor range and rents guns for $10 while I use my free range usage for buying a "gat" lol

I am looking at spending about $1500 for 3 guns for now...hahaha..I have a M&P MOE AR15 being made with our unit logo.

:happydance:

The sr9c is what I have. I love it, it fits good in my hand. I have a few pics I'd it up in my albums. And $450 brand new with 2 clips I thought was a good deal. I will say that cocking the gun is hard at first till it gets broken in. I'm still trying to get mine to slide more easily. I think it's going to take a few more trips to the shooting range before it loosens up.

Was it $450 OTD? did you buy it locally or online?

hmmm...not bad. So it must've been about $490 OTD. You should check out budsgunshop. Their prices are the best online with free shipping. I have debated about getting it online or local. The shop I am getting it at offers military discount. It might be about a savings of about $10-$30 per gun from getting it online, but at least i'll be able to hold it and I immediately get it. The prices I am offered before tax and other fees are cheaper than online, but TN tax is about 10% yowza! :tiphat:

The Ruger should definitely loosen up a bit once you put more rounds through it.

wow your sales tax is high.. pa is only 6%. i think the gun with tax here was about $477 but i bought a bunch of other stuff so my total bill was more. i would get it wherever you can get the best deal.. a saving of $10 is extra gas money, any money saved is worth it... thats cool that they do military discount, im not sure if the shops out here give that.. but i do agree i like to hold what i buy once i pay for it, so im not sure if i would buy off line unless it was a crazy deal.

i hope it does, it is very hard to slide, but it has only been fired 1 time. i will be going to the range more now that the weather is starting to get better..

I would make sure you can put several hundred rounds through it without failure before you rely on it to carry. That's just me. A lot of guns need a break in period before you can really count on them to perform.

eh, does seem high but the cost of living is low. Plus, I hardly buy stuff locally. I am in afghanistan and it is for guns, so i'll spend the extra $10! Plus, I am driving about an hour to and from my town to get the guns, since the kit is sold out everywhere! So I figure to make the trip worthwhile, i'll get more guns! Yeah I was surprised they did do military discounts. They actually have some good price. The bodyguard 380 I was looking at online is about $399. They sell it for $359 with tax and background. So it is about the same. I am just going there for the S&W M&P9. Alhtough for other guns, I am going to look around other shops

yeah the guys at the gun shop told me that too. they said to go to the range and just pump rounds threw it to not only get used to firing it but to break it in and see if there is anything wrong with it.. they did give me a lifetime warrenty with the gun for free so im glad for that.. they give a free warrenty for all the brand new guns they sell..

oh yes. I will definitely go to the range a lot to release some stress. I am not going to take the gun out of the box and start carrying it! :bowrofl:

I wanna shop where you guys do... our prices are high up here...
