Up until recently only had full size Tarus PT-92 9mm and a Ruger SR45 which were hard to carry. Just got a Smith and Wesson M&P shield 9mm and LOVE IT! Not too small not too big, fits in front pocket or belt line comfortably and shoots great. Worth looking into in my opinion. if at first you don't succeed just buy another one? lol You can never have too many guns! Hahahahaha good luck
