Looking at purchasing my first pistol. I was at mc tonight touching and feeling numerous guns. I really like the smith and wesson sd40 ve. And the price is right at $340.
But I also liked the smith and wesson m&p 40. But it was $520. I wanted to stay around 500. I felt a couple glocks and liked the 23. And the ease of breaking it down was nice. But didnt feel as good as the s&w's.

Springfield 389xxx, Nov 41 receiver, lockbar sight, milled trigger guard, SA 52 barrel, reproduction BM59 muzzle brake, Smith Enterprises tritium front sight, Dupage stock set and new repro stock metal. Originally bought at the north store as a CMP field grade. Sent to Shuff's Parkerizing for Mini-G conversion, trigger job, muzzle brake and repark. The finish is outstanding and the workmanship is excellent. I'm not much of a photographer, but my wife owns a nice camera.

That is beautiful. I wish I bought one when I was still shooting Highpower. IIRC they were still around $500 through CMP back then. No clue what they are now, I probably don't want to know.

Service Grade's are $625. I think the price is going to go up a hundy next year. The new CEO is much more profit oriented than the previous one. I think he's doing what's best for being able to continue to provide the services that they do though.
I handpicked a field grade because I knew what I was going to do with it. I tell everyone that's considering mail order to buy at least a service grade, otherwise you might be disappointed with trying to save a hundred bucks. If you're going to buy a field grade you really need to touch it and break it down before you take it home.
^ 100% correct.
field grades are hit and miss, there were some real ratty ones.
service grade is guaranteed to be functional and be decent.
fill out your paperwork and mail order one, sooner rather than later. They're gonna run out of parts to build rifles in the future, and that's a lot closer than it was ten years ago.
Gonna be a sad day when the CMP runs out of M1 parts.
I love mine. You can keep your AKs and ARs, when the SHTF I'm carrying an M1 with black tips.

I laugh when people start talking about assault rifles.
M1 flies under that radar. Wood, no pistol grip or evil flash hider.
