I'd go with the M&P 9c over the shield. Better gun, capacity, trigger return, trigger. About the same size.
My wife carries a M&P 9c........it's substantially thicker than a Shield & neither are really pocket guns with a full mag of ammo.
But, it's much more shootable IMO & I like it better than my G27.
Anyone wanting a smaller gun should look at a G42 even though it's a 380.
