S&w m&p9
Okay, I've finally made up my mind about what my next pistol is going to be after I handled a CZ-75 a little whil back and notice the slide is hard to use if you have shovel-hands like me. That same day I handled an M&P and immediately fell in love with it (plus it won't cost me too much more than the CZ). If I can't find one for a reasonable price, then fuck it- I'll get a 5906

I'd just get the 5906. I handled an M&P 40 not too long ago and didn't like the feel of the grip angle. I also think it's ugly (which is how I feel about a lot of new handguns these days, but the M&P especially).

I already have a 4506 though, so it would almost like buying the same pistol twice. I sort of want the M&P so that I will own at least one "new" pistol (all my other ones are used except the High Standard, which I am trying to sell) and a 9mm

Buying a "new" pistol for the sake of having one just seems kinda superfluous. I tend to buy used, older-model pistols instead of their newer counterparts, and I think it's sensible to do so because in my experience, a lot of guns made today are crap compared to their older counterparts. |

The problem with getting a 5906 is that there aren't any for sale around here, and if you can find one it isn't usually in that great of condition. I'll probably just end up getting the M&P because it's easy to get, within my price range and I like how it feels

I agree with Matt, but on top of all that, the 5906 will be cheaper a little easier to maintain, and in my opinion, it's a better gun. Having it's big brother, the 4506, shouldn't deter you from getting it at all, especially if you like it and the way it works. It's more or less the same reason I got a Hi-Power after using a 1911 for so long.
I also wouldn't give up on the CZ so soon if you really need a "new" gun. The slide is a bit hard to actuate, but that's about all that's "wrong" with it, and over time I'm sure you'll get used to it. More than likely it'll be cheaper than an M&P too (even in stainless steel) and again, is the better gun in my opinion. Guess I'm not a "new" gun or M&P fan either. |
