I recently bought an XDS and, although I had a little trouble with it at first, I REALLY like it...it's a great shooter.

The Shield just feels right to me.  Got one in 9mm.  I've been told the .40 is a beast and one in .45 might be too much when they make one!  Besides, I already have a small, light .45...

I have a regular M&P 9 and it's the best shooter of my 9s. I like the feel and the way it operates and breaks down, and I think if I were to get a mini 9 it might have to be the shield. OR the little Sig.

Mine too.  I had a trigger job that really helped...Jay you may want to look into an Apex trigger for your M&P.  The Apex is a simple install and really good.  A new barrel tightened my group, maybe yours doesn't need that.  Many of the M&P 9's benefit from a new barrel for some reason.

I'm not going to mess with my M&P because it's special. First it's a Gunsite pistol (has the Gunsite logo on top of the slide) and I got it from MB, so I'm leaving it the way it is.

Bought a SR9 a while ago based on MB's enthusiasm and its 1911 ergonomics. I really like it. My son shoots it in USPSA. Just bought a SR9c since we have the magazines and looking forward to shooting it in IPSC matches while my son shoots his (I mean my) SR9.

I was lusting after the Springfield EMP but the $ and the inventory of SR mags tipped the scales.

Bought the Springfield. Really enjoying my purchase. No issues at all so far.
