now, 9mm or .40?
IIRC, 9mm holds one more round.
.40 bullets are a little more expensive (or is it a lot more?

Mine is in 9mm. Love it.

Again, love it. Bought it for the gf to keep in a safe for home protection, I would post the pics of her shots (not her, gfy for those that ask ) if I could, you can get them off of my twitter @ixisweat. Very difficult to find, had to camp out at academy at 8am for a few weeks before I found one and bought it before they even put it on the display.

Just no.

ETA Just for a little more info, the gf doesnt like the trigger pull, but its really not bad at all. She just has really tiny hands, and even with that, she shoots it really well. Comes with two mags, a 7 rounder and an 8 rounder, and they cost $40 apiece for extras online.

I vote for the 9mm. Let us know how you like the Shield.

Personal preference really, but I have never liked the .40 round. Too snappy
9mm is the best out of the two IMO, but .45 is

I bought the .40 about six months ago and I am still in love with it. Best conceal pistol I have ever shot. I think you should go for the larger caliber. You won't regret it. I am really impressed with the little but of recoil it has. Also very accurate. Either way you go, I think know you will be very pleased.

I am #4 on the waiting list at Jim's for 2 9MM Sheilds. They only recevied 5 in November so hoping I get mine before the end of the month. My dad gets one for Xmas.

I tried the Sig P290RS but the Trigger was turrible. It was like a long trigger on a revolver.
