I'm going to sell a pistol to put in my "pay for school" fund. I've got a Shield 9 as a smaller carry peice when it's needed.

The two to choose between keeping for a full size carry/HD pistol are an M&P9 with Warren Tactical sights and a polymer Apex trigger ( trigger only, nothing else APEX) and an M&P 9 Performance Center Ported. Both guns are 4.25".

I shoot the PC gun a bit better, maybe 10% if I had to quantify it.

Which should I keep as a carry HD gun?

Get rid of the ported. I see no reason to have a ported gun for HD.

Like @NWS said, shoot it from retention and tell us what you think.

I've been in the situation before, and I always treat it this way: if the worst happens - social collapse, gun control, whatever - which one would I want to be stuck with?

Which one you going to sell to me the cheapest? That's the one you should go with!

I personally would go with the one that yields the best performance for you. Which one do you feel more comfortable with. I know they are basically the same gun, but they have their own characteristic.

The PC....its a little lighter on paper but it is noticeable in the nose of the gun when handling.

I hate it when I have to pick which one will go and which one will stay... it's like trying to decide which kid stays and which one goes. Although some days the kid thing would be easy to decide.

Personally, I'd keep the one I liked the best. Or just list everything and see what goes first- the rest can stay.

Been there done that brother...just sell whatever helps pay for school. Had to sell an AK and one of my favorites, CZ PCR. It stung but, I always looked at as I'll be able to afford more guns once school is done....
