The Shield is still a great gun. It changed the game when it came out and the sales went through the roof. I bought one. Sold it some time later and then got another when the crazy rebates were offered. A 1.0 version. All I’ve done with it is add Talon grips. I carry it sometimes. The Ruger LC9S gets carried more. Lighter gun and for me every ounce matters when carrying.
But if I was buying today, I’d get the 365. Smaller is better for the role this gun plays. Still, I don’t feel the need to dump the Shield or the Ruger. They both work and I’m not gonna take a loss on 2 guns to buy one.
But I agree Smith better get in the ball and put something out there to compete with the Sig and Springfield.
