Took a trip down to Bud's in Lexington today. Talked to salesman for about 30 minutes. He said this one would be a good one to learn the platform for the amount of money I wanted to spend.They had an Anderson Arms, DPMS Oracle, and the Sport 2 all for near same price. Got the last one of these they had on the floor. But they had plenty of AR's in stock new and used.

So far I like it pretty well except the grip.Don't care much for the raised place between my fingers. Hope to get it out Friday and put the 200 rounds I bought thru it.

You couldn't have picked a better time to buy while prices are still low. Congrats on your AR15.

Nice!
I build my own, but I think the M&Ps are one of the best bangs for your buck out there.

Welcome to the AR addiction!

I am down to eight. At one time I had 14, they are like rabbits.

Or spend a few more dollars and get a really nice grip. I am not a fan of the MOE.

I would suggest a Bravo Company grip. I really like the Mod 3

If you don't roll your own you should look for some ammunition.

When I was there a few weeks ago, the guy told me those were flying off the shelves.

I think the A2 grips are great, but I guess I'm more or less alone in that boat. Even if you don't plan on putting on a sight, you should pick up an A2 carry handle. Shooting Irons with an A2 sight is really the only way to learn the AR IMO. Your mileage may vary.

My $.02 would be for an ERGO grip, especially if you have large hands.
