Thanks a bunch, LadySmith. That's great feedback!! Finally, if I told you that I am going to eventually (soon, I hope) get the M&P 45 (which is a great gun -- at 25 yards I took the middle red of the target completely out with no other piercing off of it), would you then advice me to get rid of the 386, keep the 686 for hunting and the M&P for all purpose carry? In other words, would the 386 then be too much to have?
