I was originally thinking/hoping the shield was going to be a 9mm BG. I think a single stack 9c describes it better. The grip was a bit to get used to compared to my 9c, but I think I could get to like it. The trigger wasn't that much different then my 9c though. I was thinking it was reported to be about half of the 9c's triger at about 3 lbs. Of course I was dry firing the shield at the gun shop. It would be nice to fire them at the same time. It is a nice weapon that was added to my wish list!
