If you are looking for a handgun for concealed carry, the M&P C40 fits the bill. It is accurate, fits most hands well, holds 10+1, reasonable recoil and above all; is reliable.

This is an accurate, reliable gun for self defense with plenty of power without being unwieldy. It's weight is perfect for range work, and it's still reasonably concealable, although a IMO a little large for that. It makes an excellent house or car gun, a

Simple, Powerful and easy to use.

4 star rating because it doesn't come with a case and the field strip can be difficult due to the way the slide catch is designed.
