All - I have done a lot of research lately on which handgun I would like to purchase. This will be my first personal handgun purchase. I have narrowed my search down to the M&P 9mm Compact or the Beretta PX4 compact. I realize this is a S&W forum and I might receive some biased advice but I'm assuming there are a lot of people out here with several different makes of handguns. I want the handgun for home protection and a little C&C on trips/vacations. I don't plan on it being a daily carry. Thanks.
