The BEARD, a work buddy, is thinking on another gun purchase. Last time he bought a Mossberg. He had a Mark III already. He is thinking pistol.
A .45 M&P or the small Ruger 9mm are on the top of his list, but he's not married to them. He doesn't want to CCW, even if Maryland went all Vermont-Carry tomorrow, so a compact Ruger might not be the best choice, I told him. That said, I recommended he get off his butt and rent a buncha plastic .45s and any 9mm he wants to try to see what fell comfy and what he shot best. It's not ideal advice, but the best at hand. Ideal advice is 2 weeks of 8 hour day training with a really good professional instructor on a variety of platforms. But he's not going to be doing that.
But I think he has teased me with this wish list before... Yes, he had!
He is keeping relatively consistent from last spring. Which means he may still be on the LCP .380 for his '9mm' or the LC9. Both fine for what they are, but I don't know as I'd advise him to go that way next.
He has a range trip planned with a separate buddy to Hap Baker, where he will try an S&W M&P .40. Good good. Decide how how he likes the feel of the M&P.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
