Smith and Wesson M&P Pistols are quite popular among law enforcement and civilian CCW’ers. The Army is also considering M&P pistols to be issued to troops. Ben Branam recently took an M&P Armorers course taught by Smith and Wesson. I interviewed him on this subject and it’s quite interesting.

Since ammunition is so hard to find and so expensive, I decided to record some thoughts about ammo buying. Did you know about the proposed “ammunition background check Act of 2013?” I also include some information about what handguns to consider purchasing. Other topics include why we probably have the ammo crisis and how anti gun politicians are going after ammo too. I also cover some listener voice mails including a Glock 27 review.
