Wasn't sure of the best category for this, figure the mods can move it if needed.
Picked up a new gun Saturday. Got the M&P 9mm full size with the "Carry and Range Kit". It came with the pistol with a Flat Dark Earth frame, Blade Tech holster and double mag carrier, 3 mags with FDE base plates, and LULA mag loader, all for only $495. Spent about a half hour dry firing on Sunday, then cleaned an lubed it for the 2000 round challenge. Took it to the range yesterday and started off by shooting Tom Jones Bullseye 1000 drill and finished with a score of 810 :(. By way of comparison, I shot the same drill last month with my old Colt Commander and scored 870. Most of the difference was on the weak hand stages, the trigger is just different enough to throw me off weak hand. The pistol itself is very accurate and shot nice tight groups at 25 yards freestyle.
I am going to do regular dry fire to work on press outs and get used to the trigger and then I will try the FAST drill next week. I will be using this pistol in the AFHF class in Salt Lake City this October and hoping I can beat my FAST time from last years class. I don't have any pics to post of the new gun, but I figure everyone here knows what a stock M&P looks like ;).
Just a quick question for any of you that have switched guns. How long did it take you to get used to a new type of trigger when you made the transition? I can shoot it very accurately slow fire, but trying to shoot it fast is a struggle. I know I have only shot it once, but I am impatient.
