New M&P Shield in 9mm & 40S&W

[chapperjoe]

It's probably large for pocket carry, so if it has no value to you on the belt, it is what it is.

Other people do see an advantage in thinner guns for on-the-belt carry. This gun is a good thing for them.

+1.

I'm in formal wear 6 days a week, the mp9c doesn't cut it then in terms of concealability. All other times - yes. when eyes are on me in a fitted suit - no. I've got the cm-9 now since I can wear it in that role, as well as when I jog and in cargo shorts,I can just barely pocket it. I'd trade it in for this newfangled thing if it can be pocketted in cargo shorts....

Nothing is wrong with it (5 groove rifling) if it works...

Just curious. Using 5 groove rifling isn't all that unusual or weird.

Looks like it's the neatest compact 9mm S&W has come out with since the 3913 Ladysmith

Since S&W doesn't see it as an issue, I doubt very much things have changed at all from the FS.

Ahhh, you're right..in order to fix a problem, you first have to admit that you have one...

Dupe, sorry,

If you don't see the point, don't get it. Width matters to some people. A PPS is easier to carry for me than the G26. I expect the same to be true for the Shield.


Normal capacity on the 239 is 8+1 by the way. I don't really see the point of a 239 when compared to a G19 but that's just me.

With a "Plus One" extension available from Top Gun Supply the 239 now becomes a 9+1. I agree with the comment about the 239 vs. G19 but I am so heavily invested in the 239 it would cost me a fortune to switch.

Have you tried offering him money?
