So I'm considering a new firearm for carrying during the warmer months.. Ive been carrying my 1911 full size, but I'm noticing (or others are noticing) its harder to conceal during the summer months with fewer clothes.. so I was considering a sub-compact for the rest of the summer and early fall. I've been looking at the Springfield XDs and the m&p shield... Unfortunately I haven't gotten a chance to fire either of them, so I was wondering who has and what do you think of them? Is one better than the other or are they overall the same in terms of how they shoot. I'll probably go with .45 and I'm not here to argue about whether .45 or 9mm is best or how every time I walk out of my house ill need the extra capacity for that firefight on my way to work, or how shot placement is everything. We can argue that somewhere else. I just want to know from those of you who own, or have been lucky enough to get your hands on one or both, how they operate and compare to one another.
