My fiance let me go pick out one of my birthday gifts.

Bad move, I spent way too much :)

Smith&Wesson SW9VE (9mm). Something easy to carry and fun/cheap to shoot.
I have three 16 round mags. It can hold 17 with one in the chamber.

16 in the clip and one in the hole
nate dog is about to make some bodies turn cold

at least you didn't get a motorcycle? w00t for guns

nice pickup...does it have a visible hammer though? and just out of thought why did you go with a 9mm, why not .40 or .45 for some more knockdown power?

nice concealed weapon though, how long is the barrel

The MP5 shoots 9mm ammo as well.

No hammer on the back, barrel is 4 inches.

I went in looking for a .45 but decided to go for a 9mm or .40 so I would have a smaller gun that's easier to carry.

The 9mm and .40 were the same price but the ammo is cheaper for the 9mm. I will be doing lots of recreational shooting as well as carrying, so this is an all around nice piece for what I want to do with it and it's cheap to shoot.

The only drawback to the new S&W Sigmas is the 8 to 10lb trigger. I can fix that by changing out some springs or taking it to a smith though. I'll get used to the trigger, but if it becomes a problem it's nice to know that can be changed.

The gun retails for $419, I paid $280, I get a $30 MIR, and they gave me two more mags that they had on the shelf marked as $39 a piece.

BY the way, I don't know how true this is...but the guy at the gun store said the S&W Sigma 9mm has been known to out penetrate a .45 with the right kind of ammo. My buddy has quite a few hand guns, one being a .45, we are shooting next weekend so I'll tell you how it goes, but I think he will like my S&W

nice Warren G reference, i thought the same thing.

nothing wrong with 9mm

shot placement is key

a well trained marksman with a .22 is deadlier than an untrained man with a .45 ACP

I paid 6 bucks for a box of 50 rounds.

Indeed.

This is true, but .22 is prefered because the bulled doesn't exit the body and can do more internal damage, whereas a .45 has more tendency to leave a gaping exit wound. But, there is nothing wrong with a 9mm, I personally don't like the hop of a 9mm compared to a .40, but that's a matter of personal preference..

As for the gun, it looks to be a great gun for concealed carry, I traded my Ruger p89 in as a deposit on an order for a .40 XD sub compact, due to the shorter barrel.. but ended up with an AK, so I'm back in the market for a handgun.. EXCEPT, I bought a motorcycle instead of the handgun.. haha. Congrat's on the purchase.

Oh.. one more thing I like about 9mm is that you get more capacity.. which is a big plus for self defense.

Not bad. Still doesn't beat a box of 22's; 525 for $11.

If only you can get 525 bullets in all sizes for $11...

Watch out, Tony's gonna shoot up a college now cause he owns a gun!!!

Eric don't tell on me!!!

Just start working on your NBC tape....something with some good editing at least.


*edit* I was gonna make a joke earlier, but then I thought to myself "too soon?"....thanks Aken for opening that door!!

If you're in Columbus make sure you visit the football practice field. I wouldn't mind few bullets through the legs of a couple of those OSU players...

*notice I said legs, not head or chest*

Someone delete this thread.

Go Irish!

Yea...apparently Jimmy Clausen is sucking it up right now from what I hear? At least he will be able to put up some numbers against their yearly hard schedule of Army, Navy, Air Force.

Have you played with your new toy yet TRogers?

1. It's early

2. He's a true freshman

Redshirt him and he'll get better in the next few years, guaranteed. I'm not expecting a bowl game this year. I just love watching them play.

Do you really think they will red shirt him though? Analysts were calling him a 10 year prospect. Able to do "10 years" of what quarterbacks can do in 4. Anywho, I was accepted as a Fighting Irish, but scholarships placed me @ UF.

Yeah, well I grew up in Columbus then moved to Chillicothe/Circleville Area to finish up High school and go to College. Then I moved back, but to Pickerington. I think next on my list is Upper Arlington. That will come in like 2 or 3 years hopefully.

Saturday! My friend and I are going down to my old place in the country (middle of nowhere) and unloading about 600 rounds or so between 3 or 4 different handguns.
