M&P Shield- 40 or 9

Maddawg, does she have a sister? just kidding. Pretty cool wife you have there.

I just jailed a 9mm. I love .40. I got the 9mm bc it's also for my wife. If not for that I would have gone with .40.

If you prefer .40 in general go with it.

Is there any place that has the 9mm barrels in stock? I don't see an option for the Shield on the Storm Lake website.

The shop called this morning said they got a 9 in that I can SSE. I decided to get that first. My wife said I should get both, but I'll have to wait 30 days.

I don't know if I would want a .40 in a sub compact. Plus you loose round count, which is already low to begin with.

My wife just told me to buy the .40 Shield SSE. She told me to also buy my friends HK USP 40 with a stainless slide. Reasoning is that she says I should get more .40s. I have enough .45s. She also feels safer if I carry a 40 over a 9.
Now how's that for a cool wife? Keeps me poor though.

Good wife, good round.

P.S. She could be keeping you poor buying purses.

Check the ballistic tests on youtube. You will change your mind.

I have the 9mm Shield. In my opinion, for my uses, there is not enough to gain by going with a Shield in .40 with todays ammo choices. Just my opinion.

I pick up my Shield in 9mm tomorrow. If I had it to do over again, I would have bought the .40 and the extra barrel and mags, having a gun that can shoot two calibers is always better. And I hate .40 but it does have more power than the 9mm and I have inexplicably started to acquire .40 S&W brass, even though I don't own a .40 S&W gun, people give it to me, I find it when I pick up at ranges, etc.

Ed's Tactical has the 9mm in CA version in stock (cheaper than Turner's too):
