I carried a Glock 19 for six years, then my son talked me into buying an XD40 subcompact--hence my signature. I loved the XD and preferred the .40 cal round over the 9 mm, but as I got older (I'm now 70) I found the XD a little heavy and bulky to carry. I ordered a Shield 40 and was just notified yesterday that it was being shipped.
Caliber is a matter of personal preference. My wife also has a concealed-carry permit. When she got it I tried to put her into a 9 mm but she preferred the XD40 to any 9 mm she tried. She still carries it. I have friends who swear by their 9 mm pistols. Diff'rnt strokes.
