Got to fire my M&P 40, Bodygaurd .380, M1a standard and for the 1st time my buddy's brand new, unfired, Socom 16. I was surprised at how much nicer the recoil was on the Socom vs. the standard, I was able to get back on to target quicker. Up until this bad boy the nicest rifle I have shot is my brothers Daniels Defense DDMLE. If anyone hasn't fired one I would certainly recommend it.
