How do you figure? I love my Shield .40 and shoot quite well with it. I love the .40 round and have 3 handguns chambered for it.
Do you have weak wrists and have trouble with anything over 9mm?
I have the M&P Pro .40 with 5" barrel, Streamlight TLR-1S, and TruGlo TFO sights. It's dominant. Love the way the TLR-1S and the end of the barrel/slide are completely even with one another.
What's the logic behind using FMJ in a self defense handgun? You need both penetration AND expansion to damage body tissue. Clean pass throughs won't do as much damage.
