The M&P .22 compact is an excellent starter pistol. Also can be carried on the property as well as SD for a new shooter. Once competent and comfortable can always move up in caliber and can easily transition to other M&P handguns. Plenty of choices.

Section 2 of the amended statute (TCA § 39-17-1351(b)) now states: The law also amends Section 39-17-1351(x)(1) by replacing “twenty-one (21)” with “eighteen (18).” This ensures consistency throughout the code regarding age eligibility. The bill took immediate effect upon signing, with the legislature citing “the public welfare requiring it.” Of course none of this changes Federal Law/ FFL still cannot sell to this age group. Private sell and gifts are still legal.....but real or imagined there may be some legal risk if 'Murphy" shows up.

majority of time, dressed casually, I carry appendix. MP 1.0 shield in DeSantis holster. Sometimes Whole Gun holster with a 1.0 MP compact with RomeoX RD. Sometimes either gun IWB at 4 oclock.........always concealed.

and sometimes it is just an inconvience to go 'heavy' strapped, a quick pocket gun is better than no gun at all.

One, carry and shoot what you are comfortable with. Meaning size, weight, manipulation and accuracy. Your example leaves out some important details; such as were all 5 shots in the torso? Abdominal shots may be survivable vs. 5 rounds in the high central chest area. Were some of the hits in an extremity? Again placement is key. If you can carry and shoot a larger caliber that would be my preference, but if not, be proficient with the one you carry.

Been an ongoing issue since the pistol came out. Several lawsuits have been successful, most dismissed. Sig issued a recall. Bad trigger made worse. Now they changed owner’s manual to carry with unloaded chamber. Several trainers forbid 320 use in class.

No excuse, aggravated assault- felony- goodbye.

This is right up there with the same question as 9 mm versus 45. Always keep several new magazine springs for the guns I used most frequently. When you clean your magazines, just simply lay one magazine spring next to a new one and see if there’s any significant shortening. If so, swap them out, it’s cheap maintenance. As a matter of habit as far as Springs go, I always relieve my trigger spring by dry fire before extended storage in the gun safe.

I use and recommend the Ameriglo Haven. Owned by Trijicon and I know of at least 6 others in use beside the two I own. Should be less than $200.

I prefer Apex triggers. Have done at least a dozen for myself and friends on M&Ps

Couple of points regarding Israeli carry. It is primarily used as a safety issue for the untrained. Also the handgun is essentially a backup gun for Israeli soldiers as they are normally carrying rifles. Not really transferable to civilian situations. It also in use is much more likely to induce a malfunction/misfeed when you are forced to save your life or that of a loved one. It also assumes one has both hands available to work the action of the firearm. How many times is one hand occupied holding a child, carrying an object, holding a phone, etc. Much slower and less optimal if one chooses to carry a handgun.

There is enough concern that several high profile trainers will not allow students with 320s to take their classes.

Both a really nice guns. As mentioned, shoot the echelon and make the choice. Or, do like most of us, own both.

Private sale to 18-20 yo legal. FFL =no sale/ illegal.
