And if you like your Shield -- and I am enjoying my new one, and thinking about how I can use it, to the point of maybe leaving my 642 on the shelf except for the quickest trips to the ATM -- you might buy another S&W pistol!

3d Gen prices are more interesting -- they bounce around. After a lot of 5906's hit the used police market over the past couple of years, bringing prices down into the low $300's, I think they are starting to go up in price - despite the general market conditions. Condition is everything, though.
