Yup, and you didn't read where I addressed both of those issues? Having owned and carried both, which I would wager many who offer their opinions haven't, I already offered my opinion. Like I said, the difference in size and comfort between the two is minimal. A slim pistol like the M&P Shield or my 3913 is more comfortable than either of them if you only gauge of a carry piece is comfort. Another factor to consider is carrying spare ammo. A reload of a single stack 9mm is much more comfortable and reliable to carry than a speed loader. I don't know how to sum my opinion up any better than that. I guess people who don't agree with it won't accept it for what it is. The answer for you is to offer a diverging opinion rather than attack mine or question my ability to understand the question. The information is supposed to be for the OP and for the sake of discussion. We don't have to all agree on the answer.
