Whats Your S&W EDC

On duty it is my G31 or M&P 357sig
I have a few models for etc depending on how I feel but I seem to favor my Shield .45 2.0
 
Usually I carry a Gen 5 Glock 19, but when I am not carrying that, then it is a S&W Shield 9mm ("1.0" version). The Shield has Ameriglo Hackathorn sights (all black rear and orange front sight with tritium). I also installed an Apex Duty/Carry Kit (stock hinged trigger) and rubber grip decals. I usually carry that when visiting my in-laws in NJ (I'm covered by LEOSA).

Edit to add: The spare mag I carry has a HYVE Technologies +3 base pad for the 7 round mag.

Currently I'm carrying a Sig P229 in .40 S&W, but in warmer months I often carry something in stainless, like my 6960, or something like a Shield 45, because I'm a profuse sweater. When I carry my 66-1 snub, only the grip screw gets rusty.

The Sig P229 is a very easy carry, and I'm considering getting a .357 sig barrel for it. I carry the 9mm at times, but "new advances in the 9mm ammo's performance" or not, I like a larger bullet. (as in 40 or 45)

No modifications beyond a change in grips, so far.

My Smith carry is a 45 Shield with FO night sights.
But everyday is a 1994 Sig 229 in 357 Sig.
Go and get a 357 Sig barrel for your 229, it is an excellent cartridge. And when the 9mm +P+ people spout, you can laugh at them.
 
340PD no-lock or the LCPII depending on circumstances & mode of dress. In either case I always carry one reload w/me. The only modification to the 340PD is a grip change to factory wood magnas w/a grip adapter. My LCP has the front sight painted red but aside from those things I don't change any internals on a carry weapon. I believe the company engineers know a lot more than I do and learn to use them they way they come out of the box.

My 66-2. Only modification was adding Mr. Grashorns pre-war elk stocks.
This one did a two month National Park tour covering 11,300 miles, Maine to the left coast and back. And No, I didn't ask permission of the Communist states for permission to travel through.

I typically pocket carry and normally that is with my M&P 380 with Talon grips and a Magguts + 1 follower, all in a Remora holster. Sometimes I use my Performance Center 642 Talo instead. The PC has taken care of its updates with its enhanced action, aesthetics and cut for moon clips. I also have an M&P40C, but it doesn't get carried much now that I have "that really small double-stack" that holds 10 - 12+1 rounds of 9mm:-).

Lately, it's been my CZ 75 D Compact PCR.

Sometimes it's a snubbie - either M36 or M60.

Other days, I'll opt for my Gen. 1 Shield9 or my *gasp* Taurus PT111.



Edit: Other than Tyler T-Grips on the snubbies, I keep my carry guns bone stock.

Has anyone shot a M&P 45 M2.0 Sub Compact yet?

Has anyone shot a M&P 45 M2.0 Sub Compact yet? I am particularly curious about how it measures up to the Compact as well as the Shield 45. I have carry pistols in .380, 9mm, 40, and .357 SIG, but I don't have a .45 yet, so I was thinking about one of these options and was curious how they compare. I have all the specs for each gun, so I'm mostly curious about the shooting characteristics if anyone has an opinion yet.
