My trusty ole Shield 1.0 9mm and/or my 642.

I've been carrying a Shield (pre Mod2) for years off duty, it has never let me down. Good choice ! ….. but I'd still hand on to my G26 too.

When I began my law enforcement career in 1983 my first duty weapon was a 66-4 4". Carried it for years with magnum ammo. 159gr HP's for the first couple years, then 125's afterwards. I still carry that same 66 in the outdoors while hunting/woods bumming. Still love that old 66 !!!!

My department issues GLOCK 40'S. The 22, 23, and 27. I am issued a G23 since I am plain clothed, but I am also authorized to carry my personally owned G27, so those are the 2 I carry on duty and I like them both a lot. I have carried Glock 40's for 22 years now and they have never let me down...

I have both, the 9mm and .40 Shields. Let me start by saying both are great guns. Both are reliable and accurate. That being said, I carry my Shield 9mm. And this coming from a tried and true .40 fan. With the 9 my follow up shots are noticeably faster. My 9 is just a lil more accurate...

I don't think anybody is worried about their Shield just spontaneously going off in their holsters. It's all the activity between point A and point B where a safety comes in handy. I'd still carry a Shield even if they had no safety option. I carry Glock .40's all day long at work, have been...

If you don't want to fire you new 19 because you are a collector then don't. But I would suggest just getting yourself a used, shooter 19/66 to shoot. If you don't want to shoot it because you're worried about durability, then I can tell you, I have shot the same Smith 66 4" for 32 years. Lord...

I have been carrying Glocks for 22 years professionally. I'm like them a lot, but personally I rather a safety if one can be had. Although I have trained heavily with Glocks (12 years as a SWAT Operator), and carrying them daily for 22 years, 32 years carrying firearms daily, I still have...

My Shield is not particular. My .40 or my 9mm. Grab whatever you can at the best price and have at it!

What's going on to cause this new Shield 9 drought???

I have been a fan of the .40 for over 20 years. I have carried Glock .40's at work for 21 years daily. Currently the Glock 23 and 27, and I love them both. I have both the 9mm Shield and the .40 Shield. Both shoot great. The 9mm Shield out performs the .40 in my hands so the 9mm Shield is...

Don't know where the other 999,998 of 'em went, but I got two of them in the last month. Got the 9 first and loved it so much I ran out and got the .40!

Good choice! I too have a Shield, both 9mm and .40. They are both great guns, but I have gone to carrying the 9mm because it handles so much better than the .40 in this little package. Don't get me wrong, the .40 handles well, but the 9mm handles better. Congratulations on the new Shield! I...

I just use the regular old Bianchi 100. Small of the back. Been carrying that way for 32 years.

'Nuther vote for Mec-Gar. I've used the 13 round mags a lot in my Hi Powers with zero issues.
