In the middle 1990s my current agency's issue service pistol was the S&W Model 6906. The thinking was the Model 6906 could be carried as a duty and off duty weapon. The agency was having a number of OIS and the "Perks" shot was living. Then the agency was Model 4506s. I don't recall anyone carrying the Model 4506 off duty.

Well, the OP said he was stuck in New Jersey. Maybe he was unable to escape to a Free State. Very sad.
Those Jersey Turnpike tolls are brutal.n
Or as we used to call it when our son lived there "The Tollbooth State."
My wife used to joke that we should put together a "Scenic Toll Booths of New Jersey" calendar. At least I think it was a joke.

First get the right Beretta 92! The 92 Compact is now a 15+1 gun with Mec-gar mags. The Centurion is 17/18+1 full size frame matted to a Compact
4.25" slide/barrel....... 3/4"shorter than the M-9
Just carried my PC-Shorty-9 [6906] this morning in a Milt Sparks Executive Companion 12+1 with spare 15rd mag w/+2 adopter 17/20 rd Mec-gar mags available.
The 92 Compact and the 69xx guns are IMO both "small duty size guns" not really "compact guns"; but both can easily be carried concealed.
Post 2000 Beretta's have radiused backstraps, short triggers are available, G/decocker kits are available and they can take ultra thin G-10 grips
Both are great guns and will serve one well for decades!!

I've had both since the late 80s.

I liked RetCapt's story about his 469 (I presume) and 6906. I always had a hard time with my 6906 but never had access to anyone who could tune it, so I blame the crunchy action. 
Can't say I could ever see much use for the 92FS, but back in its hey day we shot them a lot. My experience with mine was generally disappointing. It shot better with .357" jacketed bullets than with regular 9mm bullets.
