I purchased an M&P 40 first for an all around gun and for home protection. Next I purchased the 22 for cheap practice and fun. Then I got an itch to get a revolver and put a low bid on the 686 on gunbroker and won. I shot the ruger and the 686 well and the M&P not as good. After a few probs with the M&P I decided to replace it. So I rented an XD and a Glock in 9mm. The nine ammo is cheaper, and out of the M&P, XD, and glock I shot the Glock the best and liked it's trigger the best. I sold the M&P and bought the g17 used.
