Hi all,

[RedSuinit]

My name is Luke, 21, and I live in Chattanooga. My wife and I just purchased a S&W M&P9c. Haven't had a chance to take her to a range yet, but plan to do so very soon. Main reason I bought the gun is for home, and self defense.

Long story short, my wife and I had our home broken into and some stuff was stolen. We installed some good safety doors on the house, and really didn't think anymore about it until two nights ago. Two nights ago, the motion sensor in our den went off, and scared the living daylight out of us. We were defenseless, and thought someone was in our house. After that experience, we decided it was time to enable ourselves to be able to defend ourselves. I am familiar with handguns, and am a pretty decent shot too. I am actually really excited about dragging my wife out to the range in order to get some good practice in, and show her how to use the weapon properly.

Welcome. It's always fun seeing a guy with his wife or girlfriend at the range. Get her out there, soon.

Hello! If your wife likes shooting, be prepared to lose your new gun. It's kind of like the favorite t-shirt theory. They tend to become ours.

HAHAHA! We plan on getting a second gun in the very near future, so if she ends up loving this one, I'll get myself a .40 in the same model, or get myself an XD in either a .40 or a 9mm.

I've not tried the XD 9mm, but the .40 is wonderful. Absolutely loved shooting it. I had planned on trying the rental 9mm last week at the range, but they informed me it was out of commission.

Where outside of Memphis do you live? My wife's family live in the Bartlett area.

Ok, so you're out near arlington, nice area, a little farther out from memphis than my wife's family.

Welcome! My wife practically stole my XD-m 9mm so I just had to buy something else to keep her occupied! But she still puts more rounds through it than me from time to time.
