Carrying it in a black IWB holster and wearing black pants & T-shirt, most folks never even notice that I'm armed -- even without a "cover shirt"...
Only problems are that the mag springs are so stiff that I had to get a mag loader for her -- and, until I worked it over, the trigger was terrible.
Now, the trigger is 6-7lbs, smooth & crisp -- and the piece shoots as well as my aging hands and eyes can manage to do...
Reno89519. I heartily recommend the M&P Shield; just be prepared to do a trigger job (aftermarket kit) on it...
Had one, but a guy downright begged to buy it at an outrageous price. Let it go... hate myself.
