Can you actually get your thumb on that hammer?

It's Double Action Only (DAO). Not sure if I'll like that or not. Will have to check it out at the range soon.

Glad to see you beat DK to it.
Nice pistol. And a .40 to boot, I'm partial to .40's. DAO, welcome to my world. Every semi-auto I have, with 1 exception, is DAO. It's not that bad after you get used to the trigger pull. 2 of mine have no safety (not really need with DAO) so the DAO is nice when I carry them.

Good score, Rick. Welcome to the semi-auto club

Hey, I missed that one!!!! Must have been asleep at the keyboard

Nice score, Rick. Glad you picked it up. I was contemplating a DAO .45 but went with the 1911 because of the trigger pull. You can't go wrong with a Smith.

Ok, I read somewhere here that you took the .40 to the range. How did it do for ya??

It was great - I really enjoyed it. 25 yards is a bit tough - I might have to figure out something in the 10 to 15 yard range to take with me next time. I really like the .40 though. I also need to get a speedloader. After loading only 4 and a half magazines, my thumb was hurting a bit. What a wuss, huh

The UpLULA mag loader is just what you need, Rick.

Here, this place sells them and they even have some in stock.

After filling 50 or so mags you'll be able to do it all day and never be bothered by it.
