I chose my S&W 9mm for several reasons. I was able to acquire the firearm easily, the mfg has a great reputation for reliability and service (whatever you may personally think of the co, S&W firearms have done their duty on the street), the caliber is sufficient for SD, the ammo is cheap enough that I can practice very regularly, I (as a result of the practice) am very proficient with the firearm to the point I can say I will hit my target with the full magazine even if my heart is hammering and my BP is over the moon from adrenaline while I have very little fine motor control left because of the stress, and I like the compact package of my 6906.

I am, however, looking at a Colt 1991 with lust in my heart.
