The only pro I can see is slightly higher magazine capacity and less recoil.
This. The S&W shield (to me) is a true pocket gun... even with the extended mag I can put the gun with holster in my pocket.
There are so many good compact 9mm options, I can't see any logic in a weak caliber. Gun owners are often enamored with small/compact options even when they make no sense... I mean that IS the entire .380 shooter community. How anyone could carry that pathetic round and feel "armed" escapes me.
