Well since i shoot guns all day for work i decided to buy myself a new pistol. Have shot a few of these and really like them. Plus im a big fan on the 357 Sig caliber.

Here it is: Smith and Wesson M&P 357Sig Compact

Looks like a nice choice Billy. Question is, can you hit a F-150 with it before it hits you though?

I ordered myself a new toy as well on Friday and already went and got 2 more sets of fingerprints for it.

Nice choice in caliber, I have a 357sig myself for one of my carry guns. It's a Glock 33 and it's very accurate and reliable, also throws out a nice little fireball:goodidea:. Don't have any experiance with the M&P's but here they are nice guns.

Thanks, I have shot a few at the lab and looked up the ballistics on the federal website. Travels faster and hits with more energy at 25 ft than a 9mm, 40 S&W or 45 ACP. Just lacks the bullet weight 125gr compared to a 40 of 180gr or a 45 of 230gr.

My old college roomate is a secret service uniformed officer and they carry 357 sigs.

Also due to the bottle neck cartridge design the reliability is better than the above mentioned.
