Feedback on either of these?
I've been planning to dump my Kahr P9 one day and pick up a Shield. I carry a G19, but would likely carry this occasionally, particularly when I'm concerned about possibly printing. It could also double as a ccw for the wife, but not sure she'd carry it on her person or just leave it in her purse. In that case another option would be the M&P 9c since aside from thickness and weight, it's basically the same size as the shield. We already have a full size M&P for a house gun so mag compatibility is somewhat of an appeal if it ended up sitting in her purse anyway.
Springfield has a promo going on right now (ends 10/31) for 3 free mags, but the gun itself is $100 more than the shield... $399 vs $499 from what I've seen.
(MFF, are we allowed to post image links to deals now? Or do i need to retype this out and/or make people click on a link to show the same info? - serious-)

I'll carry this size weapon, but would give it to my wife if she likes it. If she doesn't, then we'd likely get her something different, possible a BUG... P3AT, LCP, G42.
I am planning to take the wife shooting soon to let her decide what she's more comfortable carrying. While I don't have some of these exact models it's be a good start to let her shoot my Kahr P9 and Keltec P3AT for size comparisons etc... The full size M&P isn't practical for her to carry, but she enjoys shooting it.
