I don't own a Shield as I have no complaints with my standard M&Pc but I see a lot of guys referencing rd count of the Shield. What strikes me as odd is that these same folks for the most part love the J-frame smith and it only holds 5 rds.

Sure it's not a lot lighter then the M&Pc or glock 26/27 but it is much thinner. It's too big in size to be a pocket gun and its weight isnt crazy but it's thickness allows it to simply disappear on a belt.
