Considering a new sidearm

[good2eat]

The s&w m&p shield is a good sized carry gun Imo. This is my current carry gun.

Mine too, in 40 cal. Thin and light for carry but wide enough to hold well and stay on target. I swapped out the sights for night sights and wrapped the frzme with a talon grip. Nice little carry gun.

Just got the Shield in 9mm. My first carry gun, and first semi-auto. I really like it.

Like others have said, go to a range and rent a bunch of guns. Pick one that you think will work for its purpose and most importantly, is easy to shoot, manipulate, and accurate for you.

Not to get off topic, but to those who have the Shields, are they shooting straight for you? Mine shoots to the right but I plan on putting night sights on it once I get over the mental block of carrying a 9.

Mine shoots good but not as good as my glock 19.

I started with a Taurus Titanium Tracker in 41 mag, moved to a G20 and now have a G29. I have used the 29 now for 5 years and love it. I shot a black bear with it at about 5 feet in the chest. The blackie didn't like it.... I will say the 20 is much easier to shoot accurately than the 29.

Same here, grizz country carry g20sf 16 rounds! , everywhere else g29. Cool thing is hi cap g20 mags fit into the g29 as well, just in case you have to re load.... lol I also like the 29 cause it fits in my fly fishing pack.
