After our recent photo review of the S&W M&P Shield vs. Compact 9c, MandPNews.com was flooded with requests to compare the Shield with Springfield Armory’s new XDs sub-compact .45 ACP, so naturally we did. One thing I noticed right off the bat was*the XDs was very nose heavy, even when loaded to capacity with its 5-rounds of 45. That’s right, with the supplied compact magazine, the XDs carries 5-rounds compared to the Shields 7 rounds. The XDs is also heavier by over 2 ounces and in this authors opinion, is a tiny gun for such a big caliber. Don’t get me wrong, I love the XDs, but I prefer the Shield for defensive carry. These photographs were taken with both the extended and regular magazines. Enjoy!

Review: M&P Shield vs. M&P 9c Photo Comparison |

Photographing the M&P Shield has really made me reconsider what I carry daily, which has been the S&W M&P 9 compact. When I am not carrying the 9c, I carry the Sig Sauer P238 Equinox in my pocket. This author thought it would be fun to compare the three guns using photography. It is not often that I consider changing carry guns because it requires getting used to a new gun, which takes a lot of time, energy, training and money to use it effectively. I would equate it to test driving a new car, it just feels weird when you first get behind the wheel.
The Shield is hot right now and for good reason. For the money, it is one of the smallest, most affordable sub-compact 9mm’s on the market. I see one in my future… Now for the porn.

What holster for travel? |
|

I have an IWB holster for my Ruger sr40C. It is good in general CC though I have not worn it for long periods. But I think it may be better to get a smaller gun that can be used with an ankle holster while driving a car on a long trip.
Any ideas?
