Want to sell my Glock 22. I want to upgrade and get another .40 cal. I'm loving the Smith and Wesson M&P. Any other opinions? | ||

I run the XDM 40 with a 5" barrel as my zombie backup. I daily carry a Taurus PT140 My backup up is a Daewoo (kimber parts) rides in the safe. | ||

I rock the M&P .40 Only complaint with mine is the finish on the slide isn't as good as I would expect from S&W, however in their defense, I think mine is a rare rare case. It's gone bang with every pull of the trigger regardless of ammo. I also have the sub model for ccw. Ultimately, between the glock, xd, S&W, H&k models, it comes down to which one feels best for you. The firearms those companies make these days will outlast most of their owners  | ||

walther PPQ feel really good in my hand, and the trigger is pleasnatly short and crisp. ... but this is a motorcycle forum, not a handgun/firearm one. i'd reccomend to go try and shoot as many of them as you can before you make your decision. at least hold them in your hands and see how it feels. any big gun shops close to you with a firing range? look up when the next gun show is, and pay the $6 at the door. it'll be worth it if you find a nice semi-auto. | ||

+1 on the XDm. | ||

I have a Ruger P94dc. Been very reliable, but its very inaccurate. Everyone that has shot it has been all over the board. But to its credit, its very solid, built very nice and decent price. | ||

My car weapon for economy and reliability: S+W Sigma 40 My favorite is my Beretta Px4 in 40 cal. Very smooth in hand before, during and after the trigger is pulled Accurate and reliable too! You need to try one..... | ||

99 try winchester silver tips they have a long ogive and work better in Rugers The p85 shoots them very well regular 9mm not so good | ||

XDM with a bit of trigger work. Berry berry nice...... | ||

Is it for daily carry (open or concealed) or for fun? My daily open carry is a Glock 22 RTF, it isn't pretty but it takes a beating and i'm confident it will fire when i need it to! For any other purpose it wouldn't be my first choice though! | ||

The weapon would be used for home security and fun. I'm not that into weapons as to own... I only need one (budget minded). Love my Glock in all aspects, just want a bit more style along with the reliability and accuracy. | ||

Very happy with my XDm .40 so far. Looking at maybe picking up a Ruger SR22 pistol for plinking. Home defense is covered as far as the zombies go.  Paired that up with this and I'm good to go.  | ||

I have the Walther PPQ, fits the hand very nicely. Also have the XDM 3.8" barrel. Both guns are outstanding. The PPQ is a little lighter and fits the hand a little nicer. But the XDM was my first handgun and it has about 1000 rounds through it without a single problem. The PPQ was just received last week and have only 2 mag's through it. Will keep both of them for a very long time. | ||

All I have to say is wow. Is that a real Hornady campaign? Are we really selling ammo for "zombies"?? No wonder the anti's think gun owners are nutz............ On topic to the OP, one I did not see mentioned and just to add to your list. Sig P229 in .40 does a nice job, well made reliable gun. | ||
| Nukeblue |
the m&p 40 is an outstanding pistol. i've had the kimber, glock, xd, taurus, you name it. nothing fits my hand like the m&p. and i've never in thousands of rounds had a single malfunction of any kind. it's next to the bed | ||
| Kyrocket |
Ulyranger beat me to it. My Sig has never missed a beat. | ||
| Nillaice |
a bit nutz ... maybe. at least we are informed ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospNRk2uM3U and i think Hornaday has a great marketing advert going with their ZOMBIE stuff. it worked on me... while i didn't buy the zombie stuff, i got some of thier critical defense and i load it in my magazines for every day carry. Tula/federal for range/target | ||
| Tbolt98 |
I believe the Zombie Max is the same as the critical defense but with a green core instead of red! | ||
| Boney95 |
I went with the XDM 3.8 40 cal. Pick her up on Thursday. Great looking gun! | ||
| Reepicheep |
If they read the book they would know the zombie ammo should actually be a phosphorous core round. Burns red. Maybe they will get it right in the movie... | ||
| Azxb9r |
My favorite .40 cal is the H&K USP. | ||

There are Glock upgrades... The Glock is a solid weapon. It's a tool. It may not be pretty, but it's solid, works and works some more. I like to not have to think about my tools and when it works, I don't think about it. | ||

I think you will like the XDm. Mine has over 2K rounds through it and the only hiccups was a fail to feed during the first 50 rounds and a couple of cases that didn't clear the ejection port using some light reloads. Those are an issue with the light load not fully cycling the slide and will not happen with factory ammo. | ||

So....you can only kill zombies with a head shot? . . . and is it absolutely necessary to do the Rambo yell as you are shooting a zombie? | ||
| Sifo |
I'm kind of hoping it will work just as well screaming like a little girl. | ||

That Hornady campaign is just plain ridiculous and certainly dishonors a quality company in my eyes. The kind of ammo buyer those adds would attract I'd rather avoid thank you..... Sure doesn't help any reasonable argument in favor of good firearm legislation that's for sure. Congrats on the SA XDM Boney, fine weapon. (Message edited by ulyranger on February 07, 2012) | ||

Actually, silent kills are better. If they don't hear or smell you, you're much better off. Use one of these instead. I had to touch it up a little, it's seen it's fair share of abuse. Crowbar, Gordon Freeman edition.  | ||

That Hornady ad has an interesting disclaimer saying it's for use on zombies only, not humans. I can see some lawyer trying to use this against a crime victim who has rightfully defended themselves. That may sound ridiculous, but it's enough for me to never buy any ammo with that disclaimer. Sure it's just advertising that plays off of a popular horror movie genre, but if fails miserably when you then need that sort of legal disclaimer. |
