The good news is there are lots of very good options out there. What do you think you’ll use the wedge between your 56° and PW for? Full swings or more touch shots around the green?
What Wedges Should I add To My Bag?

C3i wedge....I love it for short sand shot and flop

Probably full swings for a 52*, more half swings closer to the green with maybe a 58* or 60*.
I’d really give the CBX2 a solid look. Especially since you’ll be using it as an iron, why not get a little forgiveness in there?
The OG was one of my all time favorite wedges, and everything I’ve seen from this iteration points to them being even better. For a 58°/60° I love the full face High toe wedges, especially the PM Grinds. very solid, and very versatile in my experience.

Full disclosure, going 50/54/58 (maybe 60 grind/bounce dependent)

Wedges are very personal. I like having a versatile 60 that I can open up and play different shots. I also typically use the 60 from our firm sands. For gap wedge I would put a lot of stock into keeping a reasonable full swing distance range from the PW. If you are still playing the 585 irons and use them stock loft, that's a 44*. Something in the 48-50* might be the right ball park. For sand wedge, the tweener, I am thinking more about adding a club with more bounce for softer conditions where I want to let the bounce help me get the ball on the face. I get less worried about full swings with sand or lob wedges. I hit them, no doubt, but can also hit a lot of distances with a gap wedge.
T20 are sexy and feel great to me. Others don't think they play soft enough. Jaws are solid and versatile. I think those can fit pretty much anyone. I also like the Glide3 wedges. They don't look like wedges I would like but hit like wedges I would like to play. So many good wedges. I want to find some time with the Taylormade wedges. In hand they have a very balanced feel. But hitting them has not been an option.

Nice, don’t see a 48* PW very often. Which irons are you gaming that have a 48* PW?
What did they put you in at the full bag fitting? Shouldn't that have basically answered this question?
hmm, don't know why, but i didn't realized the 919 forged had a gap wedge option. That might be something I should add.
This is pretty much my set up. I’m doing away with the 56 because I can do most the same shots with my 52. Adding a 60 and I carry an Apex SW for fairway shots.

Ok, I look up the degree loft on my PW and it is not 48*, it is 44*. My bad!!! ?

Would thing a GW of 48* or 50* would provide a good gapping between your PW and 56*.

Since I'm looking to get the same Accra shafts on any other wedges that I get I've made an appointment with Alex at CC for next Monday for a wedge fitting. I'll get my wedge gapping sorted out there and let Alex do the work. Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. You rock!
I had the Srixon Z545 irons and the PW in that set was 44*, so I went 48/52/58
So assuming you stay with the 56*, I would maybe go 48/52 to gap between your PW and 56, and if you have another space available in the bag then you could maybe add a 60 as well?
