Tell you up front, I didn't read all the replies. I can only tell you there are many choices and after a long search of my own, I've been carrying the Smith M&P Shield 9mm for over a year and love it. Thin and light. Small but big enough to grip completely and shoot well. Your carry holster...
I own the Smith M&P 9c. Love it. I carry the M&P Shield simply because it's thinner and lighter (in a G-Code INCOG, BTW). Obviously there are many choices. She just needs to handle and shoot everything she can get her hands on.

I carry concealed everyday, most recently with my M&P Shield in my new G-Code Incog holster. I consider it a responsibility...
I've been using my new incog to carry my M&P Shield 9 for over a week and for the most part, I agree with Indy_Guy_77, it's a very well made holster. It is not as comfortable as I had hoped it would be but it's by no means even close to the most uncomfortable holster I've worn but then I'm one...
Got my incog for my M&P Shield yesterday. Ordered on 5/5/13. So far I like it. It's got a bulky spacer on the right side but it is pretty comfortable overall. I'm wearing it in the 3 o'clock position. I tried appendix. Just doesn't work for me. I've only got a few hours of use on it so...
