Hey guys just wanted to introduced myself...I just picked up an M&P 40C yesterday for a really good price I think ($395) and I love it so far! I went with it over the shield mainly because of the price but I held both and with the pinky rest on the mag on the 40C it felt a lot better in my hands. I talked to S&W and I got them to send me an extra frame tool and the pinky rest for the flat mag...they were very nice and easy to deal with. All I gotta do is shoot it now haha. I'll report back.
