Hi
I had a full size M&P 40 chopped at the grip to accept the compact 10 round mags. Feel's real nice, balanced very very well and is easy to conceal. Carried that for about 3 weeks when I decided to carry my Shield 9, which also carries real nice and is very accurate. BUT just didnt have the warm and fuzzy with the shield 9 that i have when i carry the chopped 40. The shield 9 has over 1,000 documented rounds without a SINGLE malfunction so reliability was not the issue.
I just like the hi cap ability of the 40, and the ability to used a 15 round mag if needed. But thats just me probably next week i will decided to carry one of my Glocks.
