New Gun? You Gotta New Gun?
« on: August 10, 2025, 11:44:22 AM »
Well yes.  M&P FPC in 10MM for my birthday.  I probably would have gotten the 9MM since it is good for +P ammo and the 10MM is not.  Also it's heavy at just under 5-3/4 pounds for the 10MM whereas the 9mm comes in just a shave (3/100's) above 5 lbs.  I am finding out in my advanced age that 1/2 a pound makes a difference...dadgummit.  They have one in 22LR that comes in at just over 4 pounds and 1 ounce. 

I haven't shot it yet.  All I can find is Doubletap ammo which is definitely NOT the standard downloaded 10MM ammo.  Doubletap has been good to me throughout the years.  When they first broke on the scene some years ago the owner asked what gun I was running...a Kimber Eclipse II.  He sent me a new heavier recoil spring for free without asking.  He said he did not want me to wear out my gun and explained how 10MM had been downloaded from it's original specs.   I just had to say that...I really appreciated him.

So...do you gotta new gun?

Congrats.  Never go into 10mm, though briefly had an XD40 (.40Short and Weak).

Well...she's the one who bought it for me.  Mostly used her cash...some my CC.
