Funny he puts down the grip safety feature, precisely one of the reasons I bought it for. Can't make everybody happy. See if you find people that have both and try them out.

Yeah, best thing is to find a gun shop that has them both and others in stock to handle

In my house, we have the M&P Shield 1.0 x2. My wife loved hers. I shoot them well, too. We also have one P365–I wish it were the XL.

My thoughts, the Shield is slightly easier to shoot, but the trigger isn’t great. The magazine capacity on the Shield 1.0 and 2.0 (non-Plus models) is 8 rounds of 9mm. The sights are the old three dot sights with no Tritium. It isn’t a great set-up. However, it’s a solid fun. We got ours on close-out for nothing.

My 365 I have 1200 rounds on without a malfunction. The sights are excellent, with blacked out and serrated rear with green high-vis painted front. There are tritium vials in both front and rear.

The Sig has a better trigger all around. The magazine capacity is also a major plus! It’s also a much smaller package. I shoot the Shield slightly better for what it’s worth…largely because it’s bigger.

Looks like they tamed the ultra compact 9mm. I prefer a little bigger because of controlability, but it looks like it's been solved.
