I have been toying with the idea for a while now of adding another .45 to my collection. I love my 1911's, but even more so my 45's. I started looking into polymer guns, having shot a couple in the past. I was fairly certain I was going to either go the XD, XDm, or M&P route after handling several. Sorry Glock guys, the only one I liked was the G36 and made my hand feel cramped.
This morning I drove to Bradis to haven another look. Everything from before was confirmed. Liked what I saw, except prices. Not that they were bad, just more than I was wanting to spend.
So I decided to head to Elmore's on my way home. They had a couple M&P's that caught my attention. .45 compact with thumb safety (Not needed, but I'm used to a 1911 so it couldn't hurt to have). Then they gentleman helping me pulled out a used one from the case. Looks to have maybe 50 rounds down the pipe! And 200 less than a new one... He asked if I was gonna pay cash or card, I asked back if there was an incentive for cash. Knocked another 50 bucks off for cash. "See ya again in ten minutes, gotta head to bank!" So this little fella followed me home for a price I couldn't pass up! +1 again for Elmore's!
