When the weather is cooler like it is now, and I' wear heavier shirts and a vest, I rotate through a lot of different guns, because I like them. That's the main reason I enjoy this time of year. During the hot sticky weather, I carry my Shield 9. I've ruined more than one gun's finish by sweating on them and forgetting to wipe them down daily. Never again. Plus the Shield is so comfortable and dependable.
