re: Smith & Wesson m&p Shield or Springfield XDS

Simple solution. Buy both. Figure out which one you like better and use that gun as your cc gun. Keep the other one in your vehicle, house or stash it somewhere else. When all is said and done it's going to be personal preference and thats something only you can figure out. I have cc'd an XD sub compact 40, Sig 2022, and Glock 19 but currently use Glock 27. Never been a big .45 cc guy. Good luck.
