I like the 6906 because it has a relatively high capacity yet still conceals well. I prefer semi-automatics that are true double action designs, like this one. The 6906 is economical to buy and shoot (for the moment) with police trade-ins showing up regularly and lots of 9mm ammo out there. Another plus, it came in several different iterations over the production run (squared and round trigger guard, standard and Novak fixed sights, etc.) so you have a lot to choose from. Not everyone likes the 9mm cartridge, but this is a great package for what it does deliver.
