Thank you all for your input on my inquiry! Extremely helpful. I went ahead and bought myself a S&W 6906 in mint condition. I held a roughed up one at a local gun shop and loved its DA/SA trigger! Held a new CZ 75 P-01 and fell in love with its grip ergonomics. Not so much with its DA trigger and reset. I also loved the P229, but I'll wait until I can find an Elite out there.
For now, the 6906 will do the trick.
Thanks again to all!
