In the end both the 9 & 40 are just pistol rounds lacking anything close to the immediate effectiveness of a rifle or shotgun. Quibbling between the effectiveness of the 9 vs 40 really is pointless when you put it in that light. Keep the 9mm version and fill it with some good short-barrel 9mm defensive ammo.
I'm a believer in the "my caliber has to start with a 4" concept, but with the smaller guns you have to also think about the already limited magazine capacity and recoil recovery for the next shot. I think we can all agree the 9 beats the 40 in both of these areas in the small Shield platform.
Just a thought... And here I sit with a non +P 5-shot 38 Special J-frame snubby on my side! Talk about less thump and fewer rounds...
