I would urge you to make sure you shoot both the shield and m&p9c before you go and buy the shield. I went to buy my carry piece I thought the shield was gonna be it. My buddy (works at the gun shop I go to) encouraged me to think about the m&p9c.
With the shield you:
-You lose the option of a safety lever or not.
-Lose grip inserts.
-You lose ambidextrous controls.
-You lose 5 rounds
Dimensions are pretty damn identical, though the shield is a fair bit slimmer since its a single stack. But neither are intended to be pocket guns. I've been carrying the m&p9c daily for the past year or so now, its really been a great little gun. And compared to a P225 it'll seem plenty small. Just something to think about.
