Be patient my friend. I recently purchased a Glock 26 and love it, the wifey did not...grip to wide for her small hands. Did a lot looking around and decided on the Shield 9mm for her (found and bought one Thursday). I really like it...shot 125 rds and recoil very comparable to my G26. However, its not as accurate IMHO. The Shield is a great pistol for the price and I think its worth the wait if you really want one. Just don't buy something and then end up regretting your decision...thats basically what I'm trying to say. Good Luck!
