Yeah.....I've had that gun for a long, long time. It was pretty reliable with just about everything I fed it and served me well, but it's well past time for it to go. I've got a couple of other 9mm guns of comparable size that I also use for CC that are also miles ahead of the PT111, but they are more expensive guns that I'd sure hate to lose. All winter, I've been packing an M&P 40 converted over to .357 SIG, but with summer coming, I needed to get back to a smaller, less expensive, reliable, easier to conceal gun. BTW, that 40 in .357 SIG is one bad to the bone hombre, but the ammo is expensive and not as easy to reload as straight pistol cases, but it can be successfully done.
For CC, I try to stick to a less-expensive, but reliable gun. The pricing/rebate on the Shield definitely got my attention. Looking forward to getting my grimy cheap little hands on it.
