Is there a M&P model that anyone would recommend for concealed carry?

So many great comments above . . . great wisdom. One small addition: THINK THINK THINK THINK THINK and then THINK SOME MORE - carrying a firearm does not negate thinking about where we are and what is going on around us. Going for the gun should be the LAST option, and not the first. I have an acquaintence who states, "I just go and do what I want without thinking about it because I have a gun." WRONG! When I am walking in a parking lot of a business at dusk, I am not "turning my brain off" because I am carrying. I am vigilent, watchful, and am prepared for evasive action that may - or may not - include drawing my weapon.

If and when you meet the "woman of your dreams," you may want to think twice before fixing this dish for her . . .

As a very rough idea, the 2007 Gun Digest Book of Guns & Prices lists: New in Box -$ 400 Excellent - $325 Very Good - $300 Good - $250 Fair - $200 Poor - $150

The Model 27 was carried by General George S. Patton, Jr. and he called it his "killing gun."

Subject: FBI Job Opening The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists; two men and a woman. For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. 'We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair . . . Kill her!!' The man said, 'You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife.' The agent said, 'Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home.' The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, 'I tried, but I can't kill my wife.' The agent said, 'You don't have what it takes. Take your wife home.' Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping the sweat from her brow. 'This gun is loaded with blanks' she said. 'I had to beat him to death with the chair.' MORAL: Women are crazy. Don't mess with them

Whew . . . for a minute there I thought KahrMan was going to recommend a Glock

Be sure to go see Oprah while you are there . . .

I am continually amazed at the thoughtful knowledge that this site always offers me. Thanks to all!

What are the pros and cons of SA vs. DAO? Also, being a old time "wheelgunner" - the only semi-autos I own are a Browning Challeger .22 and a Browning Hi-Power - please educate me about the difference in "striker" fired guns and non-striker fired. I am totally unknowledgable about this.
