All I can say is try to borrow/rent as many handguns as you can prior to buying. That advice has been echoed on this board by many and is sound. Once I had the field narrowed down to 3 I put 100 rounds through them back to back to make my final decision. I expect this M&P to be my one and only handgun...well it and a 686...honest...

I love it...honest...
Seriously though, everyone needs a .22, cheap practice, and .22's don't really count. Plus a grizzly defense handgun just in case you ever go fishing out West. And a Hi Power, or maybe a 70 Series Gold Cup, you know, for an investment. And what about some cowboy action shooting...
