Solid concernsFor me it isn't as much about capacity as it is control. I have trouble getting a good purchase on the shield. The M&P2c doesn't make enough of a difference for me to switch from the full size. Sight distance might make a difference for me from the tiny gun to the full sized, but follow up shots are definitely better with the extra weight of the full size.

Completely understandable.
The shield is too thin?
The problem for me is gripping it. The shorter grip isn't comfortable for me with the 8 round mag. The seven is just short enough that I have to let my pinky wander around or stick up like I am at a fancy tea party.
I can hit with it. The gun shoots well, but I keep thinking about the proper grip and I do not need another thing to think about.
I will toy around with the wedge grip. At first try it pushes my pinky down even more, which is the problem to begin with.
Thanks for the heads up!

They get disarmed because they have zero ECQC skills combined with that lack of knowledge about managing unknown contacts. It's literally irrelevant how good a shot you are if you can't get the gun in play, and a lot of losses die without ever firing a shot, and that includes some pretty well trained shooters both with and without a badge.
For me, enough that I’ve taken the class and got the head burn. Is it likely, probably not, but I also have insurance on my possessions in case of a statistically more apt fire.Where do ECQC skills rank in the hierarchy of statistically likely-to-be-necessary skills? How frequently are they a deciding factor in the outcome of self-defense scenarios?
