I am an M&P fan. Carry the Shield frequently and have others including a sub-compact. Compared to the 3.6" barreled cub-compact, the new Shield Plus is 0.5" shorter in length, 0.4" thinner, 0.38" shorter in height, 5oz lighter but 10 round vs 12 round.
The one minor thing I don't like about the Shield is the grip is fractionally too thin. A Hogue grip cured that. I do not see myself switching but would definitely gone with the Plus if I was starting over.
