You can get 12 rounds out of a double stack Taurus G2 for about $250 total, and it has the same footprint as the Shield, albeit a little thicker in the grip.
True that on the printing.

Regarding the Taurus, cough cough it's a Taurus....Not an M&P.

He doesn't have to worry about printing. He can't carry it outside of his house.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

I have seen those. Makes the grip too long for me to not print. I'll stick to the 9rd mags. Nice product tho.

Actually , you should try the Taurus G2. I did the research before I purchased one... and as the reviewers (mostly ) said: "Taurus finally got it right". I carry mine when cycling. No, it's not a M&P, but the fit and finish is just as good. No, its not a Glock, but it sure looks like one when you take it apart for cleaning. No, it's none of the wondernines, but mine simply....

Works.
