I'm a S&W revolver / 1911 type guy. I used to carry a m60 J frame .357 loaded with short barrel 135 gr gold dots.
About a year ago I purchased a 9mm S&W Shield. Easier to carry than the J frame ,, flatter maybe easier to conceal ,, 8 round magazine with a spare magazine ( or two ). Talon rubber grip tape.
I've even shot it in a couple local steel challenge type matches and have done quite well with it.. One time even better than I usually do with my full size match firearm.
I'm not trying to be a S&W shield commercial ,, but I really like mine..
