I have a S&W 915 and it easily one of the best handling and most balanced 9mm pistols I own, and I have many.

My late production 5906 is super reliable and a very good gun.

I won't repeat what has been said above, every gun maker has gone to polymer for their semi-auto's and S&W has to stay competitive. They aren't going to stay tooled up to make 5906's to sell them to a niche market when they are selling M&P's hand over fist. Even Beretta has gone to poly frame guns with the Storm and the short-lived 90-Two series. They still make the 92fs and the 92A1 but alloy frame autos are being phased out.

Poly frame guns last longer, are just as light and are easier to make.

As for me, give me an all steel 5906 any day
