Any insight on those compared to the Glocks? As I am going to pursue my CCL I would like to qualify on the weapon that I am ultimately going to carry.

Also I am having a hard time getting around the lack of a manual safety since I "came up" on the 1911 in the military and it has two integrated manual safeties plus the sear disconnect. Am having a hard time getting over old habit so that is why the S&W appeals to me, you can get it with a thumb safety. At the end of the day is that really a big of a deal for those who use these weapons day in and day out?

I picked up a S&W M&P 9c back in the summer for another CCW (exactly the same as the .40c, only difference is the barrel). It's a nice gun and shoots well. Good for concealed carry. I have had no issues with it. It has the manual safety as well. I have always been partial to Colt 1911's and I just like the safety like that. Try one out at the range if you get a chance. You may like it.
I recently picked up a S&W Bodyguard .380 for a pocket gun. Great little gun.
Built in laser is cool. I am becoming a fan of these S&W M&P's.
