Need a new Handgun

I've been contemplating the purchase of a new handgun for months. Right now my main full size is a Ruger P89, love it. Built like a tank and will eat anything. My EDC is a Ruger LC9. Great little gun and accurate enough. Eats everything I've put through it so far. Bought a S&W SD40 VE last fall and have been trying to like the 40cal, but just haven't fell in love with it yet. Since my wife doesn't like shooting the 40, I'm looking for a strike fired 9. I've debated several guns and am now down to the S&W M&P 9 or a Glock. I hate online reviews because people skew them to their own likes and dislikes. I'm torn now as to whether it's time to just get a Glock and not look back, or get the S&W. If anyone has either a Glock or S&W M&P 9, I'd like to hear your thoughts. I don't know much about the Glocks and the different flavors they offer. Thanks.

I did not see in your post the purpose of this one? You have a main full size P89 and a carry LC9 and is this to replace one of those? Just be an extra? I'm not sure of your intent.

Right now I have a P85/89 and 95 all of which I like a great deal. I just wish their 15/17 round magazines were not so darned expensive because, as you said, they eat it all and never quit. There was a thread here about Beretta's last week I think, the 92's. I had one issued to me once and liked it fine but I'm going to stick wtih the P series and my 1911's.

Conversion to 22LR is also quite valuable. I understand a number of 9mm's can do this, a few Glock models, Sig Models, the Berretta 92 has a 22 conversion kit and my favorite the 1911. The 1911 conversions won't work on 9mm models without a lot of work (expensive) but its a good reason to have a 45 :)
