If it's anything like mine, you will LOVE it!

Never spent one with my weedeater before.   Weird.

SR9c. I ain't a 40 guy, though, so... I do love my SR9c. Really easy daily carry, and a great, accurate shooter.

Great idea! Where does one find this paint?

I would have to say my initial impression is that the American feels a bit better in the hand; the trigger is DEFINITELY an improvement. Not that I don't like the SR45 trigger... but this is a lot smoother. More like the new LC9s.

They're really close. The .45 is just a tad bigger.

Sold every 45 we had today. The trigger sells it immediately. This is gonna be one hot ticket.

If a gun of this quality sold for $290, any company offering it would go out of business.

I have one in my hand right now. Guys, it is truly an excellent offering. The trigger is similar (but better) to the new XD Mod 2. Definitely worthy of consideration.

Well, it's NOT "hideous." Looks like it has a takedown lever ala SIG instead of the pushout pin of the current SR series; I kinda like that idea. Of course, the ad copy is stellar, lol. We'll see. I'd like to try one sometime.

I don't do the IDPA shoots on Wednesday, we go to church, so I don't know what the different guys are running there.   And I'm not talking about the SR1911's. I think we can all agree that those are really good ones.   I have sold many SR9's and 45's to a lot of folks coming in looking for either Glocks or M&P's. Yes, price point helps. I had a guy in last week, wearing a Glock hat, shirt, and the "I'm ALL about Glock" attitude. He wanted a 43 BAD. I showed it to him, and he did all the inspection and said he'd take it. I said, "Before we do that, let me just show you one more thing." I handed him an LC9s. I explained it held one more round than the 43, and I wanted him to just try the trigger. He did the fondling, pulled the trigger, looked at me wide eyed, looked at the price tag, and said, "Uh... uh... I'll take that instead!"   There's nothing wrong with M&P's or Glocks or XD's OR Rugers. All are fine guns. I've never understood the outright hatred some folks exhibit for anything that isn't THEIR favorite brand. Some people are just "label ho's," as my wife says, lol, and they never look past the brand. Sometimes something outside of your favorite brand just might be a better fit for you; you just may never know it until someone takes the time to show you.   One of MY favorite 9's? Lol... my Canik TP9sa. Absolutely LOVE the way it fits ME.

Well said, Musicman! Yes, we all have our personal opinions and biases. That's why there isn't just ONE gun for everyone. I think your thoughts hit the nail on the head.

Wow. Really? From what personal experience are you making this statement? My SR's are some of the finest handguns I've ever owned; accurate, reliable, slim, easy to conceal, and WAY better than ANY M&P handgun I've ever seen. And I've seen plenty, every day. The SR's outsell the M&P's by a huge margin in the shop. I've never had a problem talking a customer out of an M&P and into an SR series gun. Once they feel the grip and the trigger, it's pretty much over.

I really like the 1911-ish lines of the current SR45; not sure I care much for this angular beast. IMHO, they should have worked on an SR45 Compact instead of another full size .45...   EDIT: Now, IF these have the improved trigger similar to the LC9s... THAT might be worth looking at...

Pretty good rain in Gallatin.

Unless your boss is on TGO... lol

That a tornado, or a condom? :rofl:

Hope I don't get anything severed tomorrow! ;)

As long as small and medium exist, I believe my boy is good, at least...

Ahhh... thank you so much. I will pass along this info to him...

My son (currently stationed in Greece) is wanting a P320. One of our customers bought one, and it says "Compact Medium" on the frame. What the heck...? Is there a "Small" and a "Large?" I know about Full, Carry, Compact, and Sub Compact... but what the heck is "Medium?"

If you ever get up Gallatin, you're welcome to try mine. A range session will convince you...

Have you handled an SR45 yet? VERY 1911-ish in the grip...

Not impossible, but that's not much over cost. Shop couldn't keep a light on at that price. It is a great gun. But, the OP was looking for a .45, so that HUGE FNX 45 might be a possibility; if he has really big hands...
