I"ve read a lot of favorable reviews on the M&P Shield. I played with one today a my LGS and if I was going to carry a small single stack this would probabally be it. It has great ergo's and points very well,people with small to medium hands will find they wont have to drop their pinkie under...

My gal bought me a P3AT for christmas on saterday,I think she is feeling guilty about stealing my PM9 nah. Ive never been a fan of the 380 for a primary but as a bug or for the 1/2 dozen times a year when I should carry some thing smaller than my commander or glock its nice to have options. It...
