If you've already got a M&P 9 that you'll be carrying during colder months, go with a Shield of M&P9C to keep everything like sight picture and trigger pull the same?

Oh boy.......![[popcorn]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/043.gif "Popcorn [popcorn]")
This...lol, SO many different answers and carries. Find something that works for you.
Here's mine. The first gun I ever bought was a 1911 commander which is also currently my carry gun. It's single stack, so it's a bit slimmer than the double stack mag guns.
I carry it in a Crossbreed supertuck (IWB) at about 5-5:30. (I weigh about 241, 5 foot 9 if that matters to you)
Notes : This thing NEVER prints unless I bend at the waist straight down or something. I have worn this setup in shorts and a t-shirt many many times with no issues.
Lumbar support in a car will dig this right into my back. I always have to turn it off when I get in my car while carrying.
I'd love to try out a shield in a few different holsters, but haven't gotten one yet as most shops are out.
I carry a Glock 26 IWH and sometimes a Sig 226 OWH.
The Glock you would never know was there. The Sig prints a lot, but I like that! =D

I would pick the highest caliber gun that you can shoot accurately, carry comfortably, and conceal properly. Even a .22 short is better than nothing (ask Abe Lincoln).
There are a lot of good pocket guns out there if you don't like IWB carry. Even a G26 can be carried in a pocket holster, although not as comfortably as a PM9 or a Seecamp. Just make sure that your pockets are deep enough to fit whatever you wish to carry if you choose to go that route.

I catch shit for this all the time from all you size queens, but I carry an East German Makarov (9x18mm) this time of year. Why would I carry an outdated, heavy Commie gun with a un-American magazine release and "puny" caliber? Because it's more reliable than any other semi auto handgun I've ever fired, I know I can make hits with it, and ammo is relatively inexpensive compared to all other popular pistol calibers. It's the most simple pistol ever designed, parts are cheap and interchangeable (meaning no fitting required besides the barrel), and you can completely disassemble it down to the last pin in a matter of minutes.
Conceals very nicely in a Don Hume IWB. Magazines are plentiful and fairly cheap (usually around $17 apiece)
In the colder months it's a 1911 or Glock 19 depending on what I'm doing.

I had one of his holsters for my FS M&P9....It was great, then I sold the gun(what an idiot)

At the time, he said he was getting out of the business, but would entertain doing stuff for NES'ers. Good guy to deal with, and the product was top-notch.

This sums it up nicely. It's impossible to give exact advice because what people like to shoot, how they like to carry, what they have or like to wear, and what their body shape is, vary so widely.
Right now I'm sitting in a hotel in Memphis, TN with a S&W 642 in a Mika Pocket Holster. That's what works for me at this moment. I have other options with me that I might use as my trip progresses, depending on the weather and what I'm wearing. Right now in Memphis it's 90+ with 90+ humidity, so I'm dressing light (for me).
Speaking of Memphis, this is not a city I'd come to if I wasn't carrying. As a friend said, it's a mean, mid river, city full of people who don't like each other and are always ready to prove that. There was a shoot out about a block from the hotel yesterday.
when it absolutely, positively must die and be simultaneously set on fire--accept no substitutions (unless it's an obrez).
yep
I carry an XDs in a White Hat IWB Horsehide holster. Carries unbelievably well. Good luck finding an XDs in this shithole though.
Same set up here

Kahr pm 9 is the size of a lcp 380 and a very nice gun to shoot.
