I gave in to the urge and bought a 9MM Shield yesterday. The price was just too good. $305 after rebate. Won't really fit a niche since I either carry a Model 60, a Ruger LC9-S, or a Bodyguard .380. Just another gun to shoot at the range and just have. I feel a bit guilty about the purchase, but my kids ain't gonna go hungry and in the end 300 bucks isn't anything to worry about. If the SD9 had a manual safety I would have went with that one. Plan to shoot the Shield tomorrow.
