M&P 9 Shield -vs- M&P9c

I think Smith has been listening to all the Glock owners asking for a single stack 9/40 from Glock. I think they have found themselves a nice market that Glock has been ignoring for too many years. Glock 26 to M&P 9c convert here!

I'd sell my 9c and get a Shield if I could, but I'd lose money on the 9c. Looks like I'm stuck with it!
Have both
ya, I just found a C. I waited for the shield for 4-5 months and finally got it in Dec. I like it quit a bit. I loved my friends Compact...and couldn't justify getting another 9 until all this gun stuff going on. I have a Taurus pt92 with 3 15 round mags....but really like this MP series. I've never shot better than with the compact out of the box....so I just found one for about 510 total with paperwork and shipping and took awhile to hit the BUY button....but did it. But can't find them anywhere for awhile. Other than on in a local shop for like 600-650. Oh well, sure I can get money back out of it if I need to. But with the potential/possible band on High Cap mags, I decided to get it with it's 2 12 round mags. wouldn't mind a 17 rounder like my friend but hey it's still more. It will be a great shooter, light and something to carry with a few more rounds if I really desire to do it, probably in winter time in worst type neighborhoods. still hurts to spend the doe.

I carry a M&P 40c for daily carry, I like that you have 10 rounds of high power ammo, to drop a perportrator if you need to, God forbid. If the shield was more available I would have one of them as well. I carry .380 often. I know shots have to be placed with this pistol well. But the .380 shoots very accuate with little effort. Do I feel comfortable shooting .380, yes I do. But it carries very well. Three or four pops to the chest with a .380 will give me the chance to get out of a situation, if not stop the perp totally. Put one in the head, day is over. Shoot and carry what feels best to you.
