Hello all, first-time M&P9 owner and loving it. Was recently searching for a CC 9mm and kept bouncing between the 9c and the Walther PPS. Now that I've seen the Shield, it will be a toss-up between it and the 9c. If they offer the Shield without the thumb safety, I'll be all over it. Was also looking at bar-and-dot tritium sights for my full-size 9. Found a good looking set from AmeriGlo. Now I will definitely have to get both the 9c AND the Shield - with AmeriGlo sights for all. And then prepare myself for the laying-into the wife is going to give me over it.
