The thread I made the mistake of commenting in was the Dunkin' Donut Drop thread:

Accidental discharge in Coconut Creek FL Dunkin Donuts

As far as round in the chamber, I've never been comfortable - even with the length of the typical Glock trigger-pull, carrying a round in the chamber, on the striker-fired autos, without a safety. I have a (lowly) Ruger LC9s, with a safety, that I have no reservations about a chambered round with it, at all. The LC9s is poorly thought of by the cognoscenti, but I think it is a well-engineered and well-made handgun. Should there be a Shield 2.0 in 9mm - I intend to get one finances permitting - although I think it may be harder to conceal than the LC9s.

As far as the end-shake washer, does the ejector rod have to be unscrewed to put those in? (I know, that's a pretty dumb question - I think the answer is yes but I looked at the E/S washer reviews on Midway and it didn't really say ...)
