Hello Folks... On a whim I picked up a M&P Shield recently.. I wasn't really expecting anything spectacular, it was just one of those "spur of the moment" purchases. I took it straight from the gun counter to the range and ran a box of Blazer Brass through it at 7-15-25 yards. That little thing is just about perfect in size to power ratio and man does it shoot. I also bought a DeSantis mini scabbard they had there and I've been carrying it every since. Over the next week I added a set of XS Express (BigDot) sights and fired a hundred more FMJ. I couldn't get the feel for the sights so the following week I ran another hundred FMJ and started to get the hang of them. Since then I've ran about 500 FMJ and 250 carry ammo through it and it's really sweet. It has a great balance, feel in the hand and really carry's well. If you're looking for something in that size, check out the M&P Shield.. JMO.. Ron
