Looks like a fairly realistic carry from Armando Arriaga who says he likes to keep size down and have some redundancy in his choices. The Smith and Wesson M&P Shield in 9mm is a popular choice of carry gun, understandably so. After thousands of rounds and no deep clean both of my personal Shields, a 9mm and a .45 ACP, have kept on running – and they’re accurate, too – so you could say they’ve proven themselves.
Do you prefer to carry a gun well-known for its reliability or would you rather use a less common model?
