M&p shield 40 s&w or 9mm?
Im pretty sure I want a shield. I know the pros and cons but I'm just looking for opinions. I am familiar with both 40 and 9 in a recoil sense, I have a gun chambered in both.
But is there any benefit carrying a 40? I've never shot anyone so i don't know. Seems to work for the police as they kill more people then they maim, at least in my city.

The Shield is the smaller concealed carry pistol, correct?
I've shot the .40 in a full sized Glock and it was a little too snappy for me even then. I sure wouldn't want to shoot it in a smaller lighter pistol.
I'd opt for the 9mm.

Its really a distinction without a difference. Sure there are differences, but I would not waste your time thinking about it too much. I would just go with the 9 because of the cheaper ammo and more capacitance. You could even use +P rounds if you are worried about muzzle energy.
