The magazines for the full-size, pro, and core are all interchangeable, and will also fit the compact; albeit sticking out some extra at the bottom (since the compact has a shorter grip.
The M&P® SHIELDâ„¢ EZ® M2. 0â„¢ SERIES PISTOL GOES 9MM. The new M&P® 9mm SHIELDâ„¢ EZ is easy-to-rack, easy-to-shoot, easy-to-pack, easy-to-load, and easy-to-clean.
The M&P Shield (in 9mm or . 40) has a 3.1-inch barrel, standing 4.6 inches tall, 6.1 inches long and a svelte 0.94 inches wide, weighing in at 19 ounces unloaded. The M&P Compact, though, is a bit heftier and in truth is an M&P that's been cut down for easier concealment.

The Smith Wesson M&P Shield has decent overall ergonomics. It doesn't feel the best in the hand compared to more modern options mainly due to the fact it feels like a full-size duty-grade gun that was just thinned down. Some people will like it and if you have larger hands, I think you'll like it a lot.
Gold Dot is a good choice for 9mm carry ammo. I too use it as carry ammo. For range ammo I use Speer Lawman, made by the same company. It approximates the same loading as the Gold Dot.

With our standard magazine coming in with 10-rounds, the extended magazine gives our pistol 13-rounds of 9mm ammo. This allows our product to be the highest capacity micro-compact, but with the 10-round magazine makes it a viable option for states with 10-round capacity limits.

380 both have the same diameter bullet, but the 9mm casing and overall length is longer. The . 380 has less recoil so is popular with concealable handguns while the 9mm is more powerful and has more recoil. Both can be great defensive calibers if ammo is properly chosen.
380 Auto features the same diameter bullet as the 9mm and the same diameter case, yet it is shorter at 17mm in case length. So, when compared to the 9mm Luger, the . 380 is smaller, lighter in recoil but not as powerful when it strikes a target.
You can disable the safety without removing the entire mechanism. Please don't disable the safety by removing an internal part of it and reinstall the lever as the above video mentions.

380 auto and 9mm ammunition are all the same caliber. (Caliber is the size of the projectile, or bullet.) 380 auto is called the 9mm Kurz (short).
