My wife and I plan on attending the Front Sight 4-Day Defensive Handgun course in the near future. My wife's most comfortable with her Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm for both size and weight reasons. So, I posed the question directly to Front Sight to make sure her Shield meets the acceptable criteria and is NOT considered a "pocket pistol", which are not allowed due to size restrictions.
Following is my email to Front Sight and Ignatius' response. I thought I'd post this as I know others have voiced the same question and so we now have a definitive answer.

As it turns out, the M&P Shield DOES meet Front Sight's size criteria -- just barely -- as you can see in this image. :thumbsup:Front Site Response said:
