While I'm partial to SIGs and Browning HPs, you never go wrong with a Smith. Good luck in BT.

yea, being used to shooting my dads colt .45 government combat edition this feels like a .22

The polymer frame makes it light, but the gun doesn't come oiled from the factory. Aftersoaking the mechanical parts and barrelwith some good ole'ballistol it feels like butter.

Pretty accurate, no jams, trigger is stiff but 300 rounds later it feels as if it is breaking in just fine!

Thank you for the support. Counting down the days!!
