I don't have any ccw guns, so this purchase will be for my primary gun for a year and the I will buy the other one the following year, just don't have the cash for both. Pretty much pocket gun first or iwb?

I have both the Shield and BG 380. Get the Shield first because it will be your primary weapon and you'll enjoy shooting it more. The BG 380 is a great alternate for when you need something smaller, but I found the Shield can be carried almost all the time and it is more powerful, thus a better defensive weapon. Also the Shield is easier to shoot and 9mm costs less than .380 ammo so you'll be able to afford to shoot more. In my opinion the Shield wins hands down.
