I don't have a photo to show you, but the Shield (with 7 round mag), is much smaller/lighter. If you put the 8 round mag in the Shield, the height of the frame between the Shield and Compact is negligible, but the 3.6"c barrel is still longer, the gun (even more so when loaded) is heavier, and the width is significant when comparing the two. They are different beasts. IMHO, the Shield and the 4" compact offer the best two new CCW options depending on your dress and need for concealment. I actually prefer my 1.0 compact over the Shield AND the 2.0c for CCW ... It's not much bigger than the Shield, but offers a better grip and more rounds. YMMV.
