+1. My thoughts exactly. This gun will work for you or your wife.
A home defense gun must fit both of you. Even if she doesn't care for guns. I have an M&P 9 on my nightstand. I would rather have a high cap 40 or 45 but I want something my wife can handle in case she beats me to the gun or I'm incapacitated.
I would NOT buy any newly designed gun from S&W or any other gunmaker. Smith has a history of problems with new designs. You've seen proof of this on this very forum.
The M&P as well as the XD series of guns have proven to be equal to or better than any other polymer gun.
At home, you have nowhere to run to except maybe a bedroom or a saferoom if your fortunate to have one. In this situation I want what I believe is the best choice for me and my family.
Choose wisely buddy.
Oh, and we won't bash you for another karma!
