Kind of makes me regret not taking the shield i was looking at when I got my last one and makes me kind of want another one now
. I picked up my m&p during covid and there wasn't much for options at the time. I went in wanting the s&w sd40 ve because a buddy of mine has one and it holds up well for his edc especially since it gets plenty of dust, dirt, and grease from him owning and working in his collision shop but the only thing they had was to step up to the m&p. I agreed to take it but I got the full size 4.25" barrel because it just felt better for me but then they ended up giving me the 9mm full size instead of the 40 cal shield I was looking at at the same time
. My main issue was it was so hard to even find 9mm ammo at that time plus i just prefer the 40 butI hadn't realized what they did until they had already ran everything thru the background computer which was having serious issues so I just settled and took it but don't have any complaints and really like it.
