Given the dimensions of the M&P 40 Shield are similar to the 9 Shield, why do I carry the Shield -vs- 40c? Because I can't handle the extra 1.3" length, .3" width/height or an additional 7 oz? I understand S&W is going after a very popular CCW market right now but does this mean that the 9c & 40c is going to slowly die off? What am i missing here?
I see no jeopardy for the M&P compacts (especially since carry capacity is a big issue for a lot of people), and I see the Shield as S&W simply offering people another choice in their product line.
