Here's a true confession of an S&W revolver lover. I looked closely at the Shield when it came out but didn't see any advantage over the Kahr K9, P9, and PM9s that I own and carried. When the P365 came out I saw definitive advantages in that it holds 10 or 12 rounds and I shoot them (I now have 2 P365s) better. The P365 also fits the Kahr K9 holster and I've had no problems. Sorry S&W. I do wish Springfield had come out with it.
