I bought a 24/7 last fall, not really knowing what I was doing. It's not a very good gun, and definitely not the right gun for competition. If I shoot Production, I will get a M&P 9 (probably wait for the 9L, as long as it comes out in the next month or two.) I went to my local range and rented a Glock 17, SD & the M&P. But I wasn't as accurate with any of them as I am my 1911. I'm sure putting 50 rounds through a range gun isn't a fair assessment of how accurate I would be given practice time with a new gun, but I guess I'm a 1911 snob wannabe. I just like the single stack gun.
