Since I couldn't find a Miata that was well priced locally, I decided I would buying something else to enjoy. Stopped by the Dixie show here in Charlotte, NC. Walked out with:

S&W M&P .45
S&W M&P 9mm

And a new AR-15 (Ecotec with 3x mag, S&W lower), bought it from Randy's Guns. Partly because they use a local NC company to manufacture the uppers. American made AND good quality, can't beat that.

I am thinking about making the .45 my new carry. I absolutely LOVE the way the M&P feels in my hand.

Good stuff! Looks like the .45 is on the right...

Those guns are amazing and now you have a great range gun with the 9 that is cheap to shoot and a .45 you can OC everywhere and never worry about the misnomer called "stopping power."

That reminds me, about time to get the brakes checked on the car. :banana:

Took them to the range today. Had an absolute BLAST (No pun intended). .45 really is an awesome round. Got the AR sighted in. Really impressed with the M&P - dead on accurate. I really like the sights. Now to find good holsters.
