dgstinner 11 Posted April 25, 2013 I put in for three permits about a month ago and still haven't narrowed down what to get. Some of the items on my wishlist are: S&W500 M&P Shield 38 revolver or 380 pistol 1911 Right now, I'm leaning towards the 500, Shield and either the 38 or 380. I may hold off on the 1911 for a bit. I already have a 22lr Ruger and a S&W SD9. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laabci 0 Posted April 26, 2013 Never shot the S&W500 but it seems like a lot of gun. If you're OK with it good for you. I'm not having much luck finding 357 revolvers or the M&Ps - at least locally. 1911 is always a nice choice. Whatever you decide on - good luck finding it.

Soju 153 Posted April 26, 2013 Get a 1911. I can't believe you would hold off on that over a .380 and single stack 9mm in a state where you can't carry! 1. 1911 2. Revolver 3. Your choice. Of those listed, personally I'd go with the M&P. But you are not me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scohen2002 0 Posted April 26, 2013 I have an S&w 500 and I love it. But it's not for everyone. 9 out of 10 people I let shoot it never want to fire it again. I'd recommend something else unless your collection already has the other major bases covered. Keep in mind the 500 is 2 or 3 dollars or more every time you pull the trigger. I'd recommend a 1911 or other .45 semi over the 500 unless you already have those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted April 26, 2013 M&P Shield. I do have a hookup if you want one. Let me know - it's out of state but can be shipped in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
