However, M&P 2.0’s pop up around $350 and I have seen G22.4’s and G23.4’s going for under $300. Hell even HK has a deal on the P2000 in 40 at $500 with $200 worth of extra mags. At this point I am willing to pay prices commensurate with Ruger and Taurus to scratch this itch.
This would be a fun gun, woods gun, and maybe see some EDC. I know that the M&P was designed to handle 40 from the ground up and as such I feel it would have no issue handling the extra toll 40 would add. However, IIRC the Gen 4 Glocks went to the dual recoil spring to address their inherent issues. My gut says M&P 2.0 since I already have a 2.0 9 compact and holsters would be the same. It’s not that big of a difference, $60, but the Glock with 4 mags and night sights under $300 is really hard to say no to.
Thoughts?
P.S. I know that conventional wisdom says just buy more 9mm but since when has P-F been about not causing irrational spending.
