I have been enchanted with S&W 3rd-generation autos for several years now. I have owned five of them, if memory serves me correctly. Unfortunately, I have never shot any of them as well as my other centerfire pistols (mainly a Glock 19 and Kahr K9). I believe it is the DA/SA trigger that does this to me.
Whatever the case, I have arranged to part company with my current S&W 5906, which is the last of my 3rd-generation S&W autos. I'm getting a very good trade-in against a new Springfield Armory XD9. I've coveted these for a while, too, so I'm looking forward to a new pistol to break in.
I have no remorse in getting rid of the 5906. It's just peculiar that I can like a pistol so much (enough to try five specimens!) but not be able to shoot it well, despite best efforts. Has anyone else here experienced this? Do you have a type of pistol that you like but cannot shoot as well as other options?
