I don't reload (yet - maybe some day) but I like .40 as well. My EDC
is a Shield .40 first gen.

WOW! Yeah, that would be hard to turn down!

Wife as an SD40VE as well - that was actually the first .40 I shot YEARS
ago!

I REALLY really like the feel of the full size M&P... Again, I carry a
Shield, but would love to have a full size with the flat trigger, etc.

I actually pulled out a Beretta 92FS today to try and thought about getting
a holster for it to carry, but not sure about the size compared to the
Shield... Wondering how it's going to 'poke.'
