Once upon a time I purchased a 6904 from a member here but never carried it. I don't have any good reason other than I do not prefer 9mm.
For a few years I was carrying my Frankengun 4506 (lower) with a 4516 (upper). Technically that makes a 4596. I prefer .45 ACP and this combination gave me a 8+1 configuration. I still own it and it is probably the best-shooting .45 3rd Gen I own, although I no longer carry it.
For the past few years I have gone over to the CS45. I own two - a stainless CS45D and a blued CS45 - again both purchased from forum members. I have wood grips on both, which make them the most comfortable .45 CCW pistols to conceal that I own. Stock they are 6+1 and I could use a higher capacity magazine but I don't really feel the need. They also conceal VERY well, even for a larger guy like me.

FWIW in .45 I've gone from a 4516 to a Sig 245.
Generally either a pre rail 3913TSW or a CS9S. I have a number of other options including a 457, but those first two are the main EDC guns.

I carried a 5906 back in 1988. Today we have better options but YMMV.

Glock 19 is a great choice, JMHO. But people who are not gun savvy is better off with a DAO or DA/SA pistol.

Daily carry is my 6906. My Glock 19 and 26 printed too much and I have some hand injuries that hinder my grip on my single stack Glock 43. I had the same problem with my 3953. The 6906 is the perfect fit for me. It's accurate with 13 rnds on board and it's been very reliable with defensive ammunition.

My 3913 in cool weather, 6906 when I wear a heavier coat. The grips are hard to tuck in, but I love shooting them. Some of Smith's best.
