Ordered M&P Shield, but having second thoughts

If the self defense situation isn't resolved by the time you empty the Shield, you may need a Tommy Gun. I'm betting you are going to really like the Shield.

I am sticking with the Shield. Just don't know what the future holds for me lc9

Keeping a gun that will never be used is 100% loss in my view. Better to sell it at a loss for something you want. My guess is Ruger will be upgrading the LC9 to compete with the Shield making it worth less as time goes by.

I say bring the gun you intend to carry to the training course. Put your ego aside and learn something about the gun you carry. If you intend to carry the shield, bring that. You'll either get good with it or learn that this gun is not worth carrying.
 
I have both the 9c and a Shield. To me the 9c is more comfortable in hand and is easy to conceal. Shooting the two side by side the 9c is a little more controlable due to the slightly wider grip. Accuracy wise they a nearly equal with the edge again going to the 9c. The Shield with it's thin grip is very susceptable to how much or how little trigger finger you use. The main advantage for the Shield is ease of carry, especially in warm weather. I like my Shield and after a couple range sessions with it feel comfortable carrying it. If I had to choose one it would be the 9c but I'm happy owning both.
