Tell me all about it please. I would use this for CCW but not pocket carry, have an M&P 340 for that.

Tom, waiting a year is good advise. At first flush, I think S&W has hit a home run with this single stack, striker fired beauty. I plan to wait that year and then replace my Ruger LC9 with one. In the meantime, I'd recommend you spend that year with a Kel Tec PF9. Size wise it's very very close and the trigger, though not as good as the Shield's 5.5 lbs striker, is still a very nice double action. Not to mention they are inexpensive to buy and easy to sell - or keep as a backup.
