Yes I am worried about the extra mod capacity if I should have to use my gun in a self defense situation. Also, I live in NC. Good advice about not making anything look menacing.

So I'm interested in the magguts spring kit for my shield 9 but then I hesitate because if I'm using the gun for my edc..... well, then that would be a modification. So.... ??? Also, where is that line drawn? For instance, say I wanted different magazine bottoms? Or a different back plate with...

No. NO! The average gun fight takes place at 6 to 12 feet and is over in 3 seconds. You're not going to have time to look at those sights. Math don't lie.

Forget about these clips...... I know for a fact there is another type of clip out there on the market that apparently literally clips entirely around the belt. I just don't know what they are called. I can't remember the name of the product.

Hate to sound like a moron.....especially with Google at my fingertips, but what exactly is the difference between the different .....um....numbers? Example : 115/124/147, etc....the higher the number the more velocity? I'm thinking of it as the higher the number, the more "power" it has, which...

I've only put 30 rds through my new Shield 9. They were blazer Brass. 115 gr I believe. I have 20 left and will finish them out on the range Thursday. To be honest, I picked them up because they were the cheapest the LGS had. I'm not AT ALL familiar with brands, makers, etc... but I have shot...

Alien Gear has been ruled out by me. I have several reasons and I don't want to piss anyone off. Even as a Newbie, I know everything is very subjective to each individual user. I'll cover some points on why AG is not an option for me. 1) It's the hot new thing. All the buzz..... when the...

In no particular order I've done my homework and have settled on picking one of these: Crossbreed mini tuck. (talked to a rep there today who told me the standard size would be overkill for my Shield 9mm...as I suspected) Stealthgear IWB mini (mini for the same reason as above) Hidden Hybrid...

Bought the gun 3 weeks ago and shot it for the very first time during my ccw qualification class. Was using Blazer Brass 115 gr ammo. No problems what so ever. And my groupings were ridiculous. (tight) Also, when the last shot is fired and the slide locks back, I cannot for the life of me...

Not to Hi-Jack the thread at all, but going along with the first and second poster.....I just got my Shield 9mm today. First pistol I've ever had. What are they talking about? I know they're talking about the sights (duh) but beyond that....???

1) I think if a person sees me open carrying, they are going to take a closer look. Upon closer look, they should be able to see that not only is it holstered, but "strapped in" .....which in my theory would put them a little bit more at ease at the sight. I think it would give a vibe of "ok...

I'm going to take the plunge and get one of these guns on Saturday. My main questions regard carrying. I live in NC and it's an open carry state and I do plan to open carry from time to time. This might sound ultra nuts, but I'd like to get a leather OWB holster with a strap that goes across the...
