I had no idea i was going to do this. We went up to Bass and Bucks in Wabash Friday. I was looking for a more concealable EDC, like a Bodyguard or a small single stack 9mm. While there, the guy behind the counter said "i don't know what your price range is, but this is one of my favorites." I saw the price tag and figured i'd better not get too interested. But it felt real good in my hand. Surprisingly, I was not getting the "look" from hubby. I knew it would be sweet to shoot, but it wasn't as concealable as i wanted. No worse than my Glock 26 though, which i then traded toward it to keep peace in the family! (kinda felt bad about the Glock, but guess i don't need it) The Springfield is a very sweet shooter, very mild recoil, and pretty darn accurate for me. I did have some problems with the slide not locking back after the last round fired. Hopefully that will work out on it's own, if not, I'll have to send it in. Hope not though. I think we're going to be great friends.
