My finances are under control now (meaning Christmas has been paid for), so I finally bought an MK-40 last Tuesday.
My model has the regular sights, not the night sights; its finish is brushed stainless steel. I paid $539 for it at a local gun shop. Some of you may remember a previous post of mine where I said the MK-40 was going for $600. As it turned out, I was wrong about that. I was looking at the price tag of the gun next to it, a K-40 (thanks to all of you who gave me several leads as to where to buy an MK-40 more cheaply).
I haven't fired it yet--my wrist is still sore from a fracture--but I hope to be able to by month's end. Until then, I'll buy several different brands of ammo to test when I do shoot it. I'll let you all know how we fair.
Once again, thanks to Morgan for allowing me to shoot his MK-40; it really helped me to decide.
