I picked up a Shield 9mm the day they were released as a lighter carry option to my Glock 23. Then the SHTF here in CT with the magazine ban. I never carried the Glock after that point. If I have to keep the mag short 3 rounds, I kind of thought what's the point I guess. Since I've been carrying the Shield, I've been leaning toward the XDS for the .45 power in the same size package... And if it shoots as sweet as everyone says, I may have to give one a shot...
