I assume you carry both. In order to be certain at least one will function.
Naaahh...Get a G26!
M&P Shields are everything these guns are not: cheap, reliable, and common.
They're tools for a job. I'd feel bad if I had to use my Colt defender for a SD reason and give it up to the local PD for months or years of "safekeeping". A $249 Shield? One of those I may just let them keep it until they 'lose' it and then raise hellMy other concealed carry. Not a huge fan of them, but for the price it's hard to argue with.
Yep. Price may be the only Great thing about it, but there's nothing bad.M&P Shields are everything these guns are not: cheap, reliable, and common.
I remember when I used to carry an Officers Model 1911 and thought it was small and lightweight. For the time it was.Tell me, how do you like carrying a brick?
Those are some heavy guns....
Seems to help keep the muzzle down pretty well for the wife. She likes the grip safety as well.Tell me, how do you like carrying a brick?

Sounds like my old girl friend...Went with my cousin to PSA last December, he bought 3 for less than $900. We paid that much for "reliable" in 1975..for 1.cheap, reliable, and common.
I didn’t know that SIG discontinued the P290RS so now I can say I have a collectible LOLBest small 9 I've carried and shot is the Sig P290RS and of course it's not made anymore. I've had the Rugers and the Glocks. I still have a SA EMP4 CC that is a superb firearm but I dont think it qualifies as a mini or compact. Ive gone all 45acp for my PD guns because they dont make a 46acp. I keep the Sig as a BUG gun and the EMP4 becuase it's just so damn sweet and arthritis will eventually cure me of shooting 45's.
Here’s my choices, have at it.
I think you are confused. A xd9s is not heavy at all
Heck, even 10 years ago it was either a Khar or Keltec PF-9 it seems. I remember when the Shield came out and people went nuts.This is an awesome discussion. I hope we never take for granted all the options we have now.
Thirty years ago this would have been a much shorter conversation.
