Love my 40 PC Shield. My 1st gun was an M&P40FS. I carried for almost 2 years. I own all of the Shields, 9,40,45. I like carrying the 45 for the larger round, but like Rich said above, lots of variables with loads. It's lighter to carry than my 45, more rounds, and plenty of stopping power.. Love my 40's!!!
