    Shield for its 9mm over the 380 and build over the XDs.

    All around better carry IMHO.

          Would not recommend the Glock unless you are a big fan of Glocks. Too big for a .380. Might as well get a Sig P938.

            I have a P938 and love how small and controllable it is. From your list, I would also go with the shield.

              I would get the Shield if you are going to wear it.

                Compare the shield, xds, 938, lc9s, and pps.

                Fwiw, I went with the shield no safety. I also have a lcp for something more discreet.

                  I held a g42 for the first time last week. I was surprised how small it was after reading so many negative comments about it being too big. I've heard it's a really nice shooter and it makes sense after holding one.

                    shield has better build quality over the XDs? man, the shield feels like a toy compared to the XDs. not saying the shield is a bad choice, far from it. you choose the shield because of ergonomics, being lighter, lack of a grip safety, etc...

                        I shot the G42 and would never buy one. I like my Glocks, but the 42 does nothing for me.

                        I have the Shield with the Apex Duty/Carry trigger, great little gun. Very thin, compact, light weight with great ergos.

                        The XDs is another great option. I dry fired both the Shield and XDs before purchasing the Shield. I preferred the Shield stock trigger over the XDs plus the Shield price was $100 less than the XDs.

                          Shield & XD-S over G42 because of caliber 9mm vs .380

                          Shield over XD-S because of lower cost and ease of availability at roughly equal quality and reliability. If you can stomach the California compliant version, you don't waste an SSE slot, but you're running out of time to use it
