I don't have a Shield, but I have done quite a bit of research on it to see if I would want one. What I learned is that since it is a single stack and therefore provides a slimmer profile for possible pocket carry as well as possibly more comfortable to carry on the waist. If you want more rounds, then this is not the handgun for you. It's designed to fill a niche.

One additional plus to this over a standard M&P is that supposedly it has a much better trigger to it. Though S&W is said to have stated that they will be putting the improved trigger in ALL of their M&P series. That process will undoubtedly take awhile.
