I could have said my rail 3913TSW, you know.

On a more serious note. The gun market has expanded tremendously over the past several years. We don't need to discuss why, suffice it to say that more people the need to own guns.

Many of those new owners are not "gun people" as most of the members here are. They plan to own one, maybe two guns, not the collections that many here have.

They are looking for guns that are inexpensive (relatively) to buy, easy to maintain, and that will spend most of their lives sitting in a safe, drawer, automobile console (!) or wherever. To them, guns are just another household appliance more or less. That's why S&W and other manufacturers are making and selling so many cheaper polymer framed guns.

Although I don't think she will, I'd love for my daughter to buy and carry a firearm. A Shield would be the type of gun that would be good for her even though she did enjoy shooting my 6906 a few years ago.
