.45 Shield not shown on S&W site - wasn't aware they had one. In any case, the .40 is one snappy load - my favorite carry is the Taurus PT740 Slim and it is one feisty pistol compared to it's sister PT709 9MM. If a .45 is made in Shield I would think it would be less feisty than the .40. My carry this month is my M&P40C - it too is as feisty as the 740.tomdavis wrote:I have the S&W Shield in 9mm and even though I have large hands it is great. I like it as my wife can also shoot it comfortably. It comes in the 40 and 45. I am sure the 45 would be too much for the pistol's weight but a 40 could work.

Re: Looking for a good 40cal ccw
Absolutely nothing wrong with the SD40VE - reliable and rather inexpensive - a bit bulky for me to CC, but can if I want to bother. Absolutely nothing wrong with Taurus either regardless of derogatory comments toward the brand - same for .40S&W - an effective round. Taurus 740 Slim (single stack) or their Millennium G2 (dbl. stack) series are nice CCW's. I have both Slims and Mil Pro (non-G2) and use both for CC. Also have M&P40C in the CC rotation. My SD40VE is my bedside HD pistol of choice.
Good luck on your hunt for the perfect (for you) CCW - doesn't make much difference what I or others think - you're the one that counts. There are so many good it's hard to go wrong regardless of what you choose.
