I agree the 9c is a pussycat. Part of my great deal on the 40c was trijicon night sights. They are actually a bit harder to see at the range than the standard sights but I still shoot a bit better with it. Maybe it is a confidence thing. I will be working with the 9c more and more due to cost of ammo. I bought a 9FS also, and haven't quite decided how it fits in my rotation. An M&P 45 is coming at some point in the future. I fired one at the range and was surprised how good it felt. I have to figure out some magazine feed problems with the 40c before I invest more money in the M&P line.
