I’m kinda wishing I waited, but I think I will just be happy with the one I have…for now.

Same but ya never know.

I guess comp's are the "it" thing now. S&W came out with a whole new line of M&Ps with comp'd barrels. I've never shot one before.
I like his set up.

if you had waited and got this then something new would have come along and you'd have wished you'd waited... again. that's the problem with this game. shoot what you got and shoot it well.

yup, new flavor of the week = comps
I think they're cool but I don't think it's worth getting another echelon.
If this were a full time competition pistol for me (which it isn't) then maybe I'd do it to get every advantage I could in a stage but for a self defense / training pistol I don't have to have it.

now, my next pistol will be a Prodigy and on that, I think I'll get the comp just for fun.
