For IWB I go with the Kel-Tec PF9, OWB it's the SR9c.
WAYNO said:The biggest difference to me, and what causes the Shield to be my favorite, is the very nice ergonomics. But, that could very well apply only to me. Although the Shield is still a small gun, when I'm holding and shooting it, it just feels like a bigger gun.
WAYNO.
the SR9c is indeed the same width as the full size SR9 and, in fact, accepts the SR9's full length magazines with a sleeve to cover the part that extends beyond the shorter grip.osirhc said:I think the SR9c would do well with concealment even though it's still a double stack, I personally enjoy the width of my SR9 (I'm assuming they are close to the same width if not the same) and honestly, I carry my SR9 concealed, and depending what you're doing (walking, driving, sitting, etc) it's not all that bad. I would think the 9c would be even better carrying concealed.

...the M&P Shield.
The SR9C had a snappy trigger. I started shooting multiple shots, but that quieted down as I got used to it. However, my grouping was much better with the Shield. I really liked the PPS, but not for an extra $140.00.
Thanks to everyone for their input!
osirhc said:A buddy of mine has an M&P Shield in 9mm and I honestly did not like it nearly as much as my SR9. I did not like the trigger on it at all and it seemed almost too small for my hands (although I'm a bigger dude at 6'1 180). A grip would certainly be needed for me, and something to improve that trigger. It just was not smooth at all. Conversely, the Shield would make for a great concealed carry firearm being that it's a reasonable size and it's a single stack.
I love my SR9 and have been ddebating getting a firearm for concealment myself too. I think the SR9c would do well with concealment even though it's still a double stack, I personally enjoy the width of my SR9 (I'm assuming they are close to the same width if not the same) and honestly, I carry my SR9 concealed, and depending what you're doing (walking, driving, sitting, etc) it's not all that bad. I would think the 9c would be even better carrying concealed.
