Thanks, PappyD!
I have not shot either gun in 40, but have heard the Shield 40 is much more 'snappy' than the 9...which would make sense. I think the Shield 9 is manageable, not sure I would want any more though. For the compact, I think if you are used to shooting the 45 then a 40 will almost seem like a 9...if that makes sense
I've noticed more 40 ammo on the shelves lately, but since you reload that really isn't a concern of yours...
My biased vote is 9, just because I've shot it and like it.
