Best Handgun Forum What's the "LS1tech" of handguns? Trying to get some feedback on a Smith and Wesson M&P 45. Seems like a good gun and S&W put a lifetime warranty on them, plus they are california compliant.

I'm looking into a gun aswell just can't make up my mind. I want a Springfield 1911 but don't really want to spend 800 dollars on a handgun right now. I found a Taurus 24/7 Pro in a 40 or 45 for roughly 400 dollars so I'm thinking of going that route. I just want to go to the range first and try a few out.

You can't really go wrong with any 1911 model, I mean the design is about 100 yrs old and it's still one of the best. I like the M&P because it comes with 3 different grips to fit your hand, and it has a life time warranty. Smith and Wesson even pays shipping both ways on warranty stuff. Only thing I don't like is the magazine safety, which completely defeats the purpose of a tactical reload. Plus at $570 new, and 4 magazines, its a pretty good deal.

the S&W 45 is a good gun ... I have shot it a few times, a friend of my dad has one and they are pretty good, able to shoot in real tight groups. I prefer the Springfield XD myself. Its along the same type of platform, the M&P, and it fits my hands a little better.

I have a Ruger 9mm decocker. No safety to fool with, just pick it up and start blasting. When you are finished, depress the decocker lever and it goes into safe mode. Nice and simple. I use 115gr hollow points in it.

If you're looking for info, get on AR15.com and take a look around. They have a huge handgun section and most people there know exactually what they are talking about. S&W are great guns, but what caliber, style, and brand depends on what you will be using it for. Goodluck!

I ended up getting a glock 22 rtf2, in .40 cal. cant really beat the original polymer gun, and I like the new rough frame. The magazine safety is stupid so I decided against the M&P.
