Let me just say this up front:
I'm from Boston, born and raised, Dorchester to be exact. That's never gonna change and I'm not planning on moving. I understand there are some with strong views about Boston with regards to licensing, about Dorchester with regards to violence, about Mass gun law in general, etc...my response is, it is what it is. Like I said, I don't plan on moving, so that's that.
Now, I just got my LTC A. Restricted, obviously, to home defense and target/range. Been thinking long and hard about what weapon to buy. This will be my first weapon and I am a homeowner. So since I can't carry it concealed, my primary outlook is trying to find the optimum home defense weapon. My main criteria are:
1. Inexpensive yet reliable
2. Easy to train (and hopefully enjoyable)
I'm open to suggestions. That being said, I've been leaning toward the M&P9 Full, Range and Carry Kit, for a few reasons:
1. Got a $25 coupon for Four Seasons which, from what I've seen, has the best price on the range kit
2. Extra mag with the range kit, plus holsters
3. 9mm ammo is not too expensive
Now there are other things I liked about the full M&P, like the look and feel, etc. but I won't get into that. Just want some favorable comparisons that I can stack the M&P against before finalizing what I should buy so, I figured I'd bring it to the experts.
So tell me, what are your thoughts?
