@OP,
There is a lot of great advice here, but there is also a lot of opinions being expressed that are a bit jaded. Chances are very good that you will get another M&P semi, because that is what you are most familiar with. Just remember to practice!
When you transition into a revolver, it will teach you to be humble, it will show you that you weren't as good a shot as you thought. I thought I was a proficient rifleman, then I picked up an O3A3 Springfield and it taught me how to shoot. I started with a 1911, but a 6" K38 Masterpiece showed me how to shoot a handgun.
Get your M&P and save for a revolver, either a 4" or 6", be it a Model 10, 14, or 15, save your brass and start reloading. Look for a used (but not abused) revolver for your first one. You can find a good condition Combat Masterpiece for under $400. Make sure the revolver has a hammer, then start shooting single action. That revolver will build your confidence and increase the range that you will be competent at.
