I'm posting this here, casue you hometown guys always have good opinions on things.
I'm having extreme difficulties trying to find a decent way to carry. I'm a khaki/tucked in polo for work type of guy. I've tried a smart cary with both my M&P9c and 45c. Both print incredibly bad. IWB don't seem to work because of the tucked in shirt.
I'm a very petite man at 6' 220lbs (aparantly) becasue everything seems to print.
So, I started looking into thinner guns and came across the Sheild and XDs. Bot single stack polymers. I haven't handled or shot either, so this is purely a conceptual conversation.
I really like my M&P's so I'm drawn to the Sheild, however it is only available in 9mm (well, .38 too, I think but I'd be interested in 9), which is fine, but I'd really like to carry in .45acp, personal preference, but not so set in stone that I wont bend.
I've never had an XD of any sort, and don't really like the ones I've shot. I have also read and seen first hand failures on XD's and XDM's. Is this going to be accross the board? Probably not, but it is my experience. However the XDs is available in .45acp which is a huge plus for me.
So please, school me.
Thanks!
Oh, and here is a visual with super print special feature.
