If this M&P goes well I may consider its compact brother for carry duty. I see them at the local gun shop from time to time with reasonable price tags.

FWIW, the Smith is +P rated. Well at the very least Smith & Wesson doesn't object against it in their manual, only +P+. The EMP wasn't rated for it due to its aluminum frame last I read.

I suppose that having one handgun on hand, and it being a low round, expensive, small, darn near show piece just wasn't cutting it for me. I needed something all purpose. I think she'll do well It will fit right in with my best friends Glock and our other buddies XD, lol.

Sounds like you made the right choice for your needs. Wish I could be more like that and keep only the guns I need, I always wind up keeping the ones I need and the ones I just like, probably why some just hang out in the safe so much of the time.
