+1 on EOD.
Third gens especially, will be more numerous, more reliable, and have a better trigger.
Still love my 469 (compact double-stack, 2nd gen) but the accuracy is... Well, let's hope it's true that most SD occurrences are under 7 yards.
Mine, and I have no reason to think a 3rd gen would be able different, was reliable as a hammer. Bone dry and full of lint and sand--worked. FMJ, hollowpoint, weird bullets of all kinds. The only things it wouldn't feed were empty brass and Winchester's bonded (not the new Black Talon) Rangers.
