    Don't know if it's already been posted but here's a picture with the specs...

    Some may find it appropriate. From my perspective bitching about a name is evidence of misplaced priorities.

    Some names lend themselves to being ridiculed, e.g. "Spec-Ops" or "Naval Special Warfare Edition" or "buy this gun if you want to pretend to be a badass" but "Shield" seems fairly anodyne.

    Really, who cares about the name? I thought M4C was all about function and stuff like that, not petty name shit.

    Had a talk with a guy the other day who works there and he says they are way too busy trying to keep up with the normal M&P production to add a 10mm to the lineup... It is not even on the schedule to be talked about for the rest of 2012.

    I'll pick one up for a back up gun. I carry one on my ankle. It needs to be as narrow as possible to go over my boots and still fit under my pants. I carry an LCP now, but only because I was waiting for one of these in .40. If I'm going for my back up, it's because I'm rolling on the ground with someone. I won't be needing 11 shots to hit someone that close.

    Honestly I hope so. The stock trigger isn't that bad and the Apex tigger upgrades are great. This is the first compact I've been actually excited about.
