Yep, you pegged it. Actually we had both the 4566 as well as the CS45. I had both, the CS while a Detective and eventually went to the 4566 in my last few years in uniform. I did not want to recieve the CS upon retirement and preferred the 4566.
I did get the opportunity to help test/eval the M&P while they were considering it for the new duty weapon. I was impressed with it's performance.
BTW - after S&W stopped normal production of the 4566, they continued to offer the model for sale to agencies such as ours - but the real problem became price. A large agency such as ours would be paying over $700 per copy. Just doesn't make sense to continue it after awhile, especially when approached with a real 'deal' to move on to a newer, less expensive model.
