Looking for a new one
I am currently looking for a new one, and have it (ahem) narrowed down to one or so of the below. Caliber is of no real concern, as long as it is a 9mm, 40, 45, 10mm. If you have one of the below please provide pro/con of the firearm.
SW Shield 9mm SW MP compact 40 Glock 27 Glock 36 Glock 30S Glock 29 Have no shot any of them, but i like what I see. Thanks in advance for any info |

I have the MP45 4"barrel, 8 shot. Awesome! Super accurate. Good trigger, gets better with more rounds. Nicest auto I ever owned.

Shield 9 is a nice carry piece but you can still throw a hundred down range without any discomfort.

Shield 9mm is my current CCW of choice. Really like this gun!

I am a huge Glock fan and have a G27 and love it. Super reliable and accurate, well ... a LOT more accurate than I AM. Check out some of Hickock45 Glock reviews on YouTube.

I like my Glock 36. Glock + 45acp. Works for me.

No bad choices on that list.
I have the Shield 9mm. IMHO, it is as close as you can get to a pocket pistol without actually shooting like one. I really like mine. |

File under piling: Shield 9. Accurate, reliable, soft shooting for a compact, only problem is finding one. Jumped on mine 2nd day it was available for sale. A risk for an unproven compact, but glad I took the risk, mine has been great.

I have both the Shield and M&P Compact. The compact is completely carry-able as long as you use a good belt and holster. The Shield is way better for all day carry. It's almost as light as my old Kel-tec PF-9.
