I bought a M&P Shield Performance Center 40. Replaced the sights with Combat Night sights and love the way it shoots. Prefer hanging 2 liter Pepsi bottles at 5/7 yards and blowing them away. Statistically You are looking at much closer ranges probably contact distance self defense shooting. Spending to try to hit distance targets sort of defeats the reason for the Shield. It is your last hope for survival statistically.
