I think I am going to purchase an M&P in 9mm, 4.25" barrel.

But with all the options on the S&W website, I'm left confused and I ask your opinions.

First, are they all DAO? only a few of the models are listed as Double Action Only.

Second, thumb safety or no thumb safety? My 1911 has a thumb safety so I do not see it as a hinderance, but what are the pros and cons?

Third, magazine safety or not? What are the pros and cons of this?

Fourth, Pro Series, VTAC, or basic? I am leaning not...I kinda like the "Range Kit" with the holster and spare mags, but is the pro worth it? I did not want to hijack anothers thread with extra questions.

Thoughts? Comments? Smarmy remarks? Clarifications?

No, not .40, .45, or .357 sig.
9mm
