I've been debating getting a Shield 9 or M&P 9c. I use a J-frame Airweight for my pocket carry and EDC and don't see that changing. SO, would the Shield serve that same purpose?

Would I be better off getting the M&P9c for something that may be a bit more than a pocket gun and have a higher capacity (I know there's a lot of arguments for and against the need for extra rounds, but just want to get something that won't fill the same role as my current J frame).
