Default Best CCW gun in my opinion

First the good news. My 9mm Shield has been 100% reliable. Very accurate. Easy to shoot. My wife loves it too. It hides much more easily than my Glock 19. I generally use an IWB holster, but it will fit in my front pocket with a Nemesis holster. Purse carry should be no problem.

Now the bad news. I had to buy an Uplula loader to load the mags. Very stiff mag springs at first. They are loosening up with use. Same with the mags for my M&P 40. Very stiff recoil spring. Hard, even for me, to retract the slide enough to set the slide lock. Also loosening up with use. It is difficult to load a fresh mag if the slide is in battery. You have to push the last little bit really hard, making tactical reloads somewhat difficult. No problem if the slide is locked back. Just make sure your wife can perform all of these functions, which take a bit of hand strength, and she will be very happy with this gun.
