I have both, the Shield and Compact c in 9mm. The compact I use the x-grip extended mag for the extra mag and the compact has the Crimson Trace Laser. I carry both handguns concealed even at work and use the "Smart Carry" appendix holster. Neither weapons prints with the Smart Carry. I carry the Compact late in the day at at night when off duty because of the Laser for low light situations. The compact has more heft to it and the recoil is less. I also carry the 380 Body Guard as a back up weapon. With the Body Guard I use Buffalo Bore flat nose +P which gives it about the same punch as a 38 Special. Both M& P's I use Federal LE 147 gr HST Hollow Points. Less recoil, low flash and subsonic. That is what we use in our duty weapons in the 9 mm .
