First post, so be kind... I have been trolling the boards for a short time and have been very impressed with the knowlege and insights in these forums.
I currently own and love my S&W 1911 .45 and also have a Sig mosquito .22 for plinking (and getting my wife used to shooting- although she now prefers the 1911 as well and is pretty darned good with it!) . I have also seen that the latter is not a favorite among members -oh well...
I am looking at getting a S&W J frame revolver for a CCW and have recently considered the S&W 9mm M&P compact as well. I love the way this 9mm feels and shoots. I have heard some say they need a manual safety on a carry weapon and others say that you don't want to have to worry about the extra step of removing the safety. The DA trigger on the revolver precludes this concern but I figured I would defer to the experience/ opinions of the THR community regarding carrying a (holstered) 9mm with a round in the chamber and no safety.
Any opinions/ advice/ experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance; I am honored to be a member of such a community!
