A decent option if you are on the fence. It is nowhere near the option of a full sized optic though. I have the Leupold Micro on my M&P Shield 9mm. It does the job and for EDC is likely fine. I keep toying with milling it or trading for a G26, 43X, G19 or even a CZ P10. In truth, I rarely carry a 9mm anymore though so not a priority. My G29 is more for woods carry or wearing when working on our property where bear (both kinds), cat and even wolf are a possibility. For that, I wanted a bigger window and faster dot acquisition.
