I took the pics out of this response, but the Hornady FTX 165 grain .40S&W list 3" barrel ballistics (using an XDSC as a test gun) show pretty impressive results:
1055 FPS Muzzle Velocity WITH 408 Ft. Lbs of energy again at the muzzle. That's a mighty big wallop from such a small CCW.
I'd love to see someone with a chronograph review this thing with various SD ammo.

I sold my Compacts ONLY for those reasons, and think that the Shield in 9mm
will suit my carry requirements perfectly.
IF I was to opt for the .40 caliber version, I wonder if it would be
best with this:
