Way better looking than the first gen.. these 2025 model slides are much better looking with the glock style sights and wider serrations. Plus easier to rack. Frame is identical to the first release but the new slide looks better on it. The coating seems tougher as well. Buds sent this out quick as usual. Excellent firearm. To me, better than shield plus it replaces. I've owned 2 max 9s before and always liked the feel vs the shield or even the sig p365

Inexpensive shells that simply get the job done ✅

I have purchased many firearms, ammunitions, holsters, and accessories from Buds Gun Shop over the years. I am a retired Chief Deputy of The New Hanover County Sheriff's Department. I've always found Bud's Gun Shop to offer great prices, wide selections, and quick shipping. I just completed an order for a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield .45 a few minutes ago and look forward to doing more business with Bud's Gun Shop in the future.

Had the L5 .357 for a few weeks now took it to the range twice. Haven't had a problem yet fired over 200 rounds of American Eagle. My wife fired a few rounds as well and also fell in love with the L5. Got the .357 because it holds 9 rounds, one more then the 44 mag and two more then the 50AE. From what I've seen in reviews so far it's doing a lot better the expected would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to buy one.

I've been looking for an all around rifle from elk to whitetails, from all reports the 7mm PRC seemed to fit the bill. Being retired I don't have alot of extra cash and for sure not going into debt for a new rifle. The Mossberg combo hit all the marks and as usual Buds had a good price and good service. Loaded up some 150 grain Hornady soft points with a reduced load of H1000 for deer hunting....shot 5 groups, the smallest just at one inch the largest just under a inch and a half, for me more than adequate. Unlike todays generation of bigmouths, showoffs and bragger's....I'm old school and don't take shots at 600,700,800 yds.

Beautiful gun. Great price and fast shipping. Even came with a holster and an extra magazine. I highly recommend Bud's!

Love this stock fits my henry 357 super good. Very easy to install takes about a minute. Will be getting Midwest industries forend next. Easy to do business with Buds. To Hip gotta go

An absolutely incredible gun. It's smooth, crisp, shoots flat, and looks amazing. It has a nice weight, but doesn't feel bulky. The trigger is nice and crisp. The slide action is smooth as butter. It's also incredibly controllable. It also looks absolutely incredible, a mixture of futuristic and John Wick. If I could only pick one pistol to shoot for the rest of my life, this would be it hands down.
