I carried my wife's Shield 9mm, because my Compact 9 always poked me in the ribs when carrying and the Shield felt a lot more comfortable. Plus, I could pocket carry it too if I wanted. When my wife wanted to carry it, at the same time I wanted it, I decided it was time for a change. Yesterday I traded in the Compact for a Walther PPS M2 9mm. I had given the Shield a Burwell trigger job and it breaks crisply, at 5 lbs and the Walther also breaks crisply at 5 lbs.
I took both to the club and did a 25 yard test off of a pistol rest, using 147 grain American Eagle FMJ flat point. The Shield averaged 5-6" groups, which is acceptable, considering the size of the gun and the type of sights. The Walther PPS averaged 3" groups. I was very impressed. I like the ergonomics on the Walther better. It feels really good in my hand. It's a vast improvement over the previous version of the PPS, which felt like holding a block of wood.
