Unfortunately, those of us infected with 3rd Genitis are a distinct minority. You only have to look at the directory when you sign on to see where the majority of the interest lies. The M&P Forum usually has twice as many people viewing. I've got nothing against M&P's, I own two, but I just prefer 3rd Gens. It would be fantastic if S&W were to offer something close to the 3900, 5900, 6900, 4000, 4500 & 1000 series pistols we all know & love, but for most of the reasons mentioned here, I don't see it happening.
