I agree with regard to the 9c vs. the Shield. If the Shield were small enough to pocket carry, I might see the advantage, but unfortunately, it isn't.
Actually I pocket carry my Shield or my 40c without any problem.

I pocket carry my Shield also on quick trips -- it just makes it. But that is ok.
However, it is somewhat heavy to be slinging around all day in a pocket. That is what my 642 is for.
