You know your hoarder when your family & friends place reservations to show up at your place when things get bad. If they can't bring guns & ammo then Toilet Paper, food, meds, supplies, anything to hunker down & defend. But you see I look at things a little different. I have pistol/carbine...

I agree 100%. Had the Big Dot on my 1st Shield 1.0 & gave it to my stepson because he need a defense gun & like it. I like the fact the fiber optics work with a minimum of light. Once the sights are mounted to your liking you never have to mess with them again. Knocking your tritium sights off...

I carry my Shield 9mm or 45acp in a DeSantis Cozy Tuck in the small or 5 o'clock position all the time. I am 6'3", 240 lbs & have an "athletic build" so there is little to no bulge in my back. If someone demands my wallet their in for a surprise but I am good at paying attention to my...

I bought my Shield M&P 9 when they first came out. I use 8" paper plate at 10 yards. I was all over heavy left. Love the gun then the Shield 45 came out. Wow, what a difference. My groups were in 4" groups & centered. As it was said before, soft, easy to shoot. I have changed the white dot...

The "J" Frame is great for concealability. I carry it to the right of the swell of my back (5 o'clock) or place it in my front right pocket. I carry my 638 w/ hollow points all the time. If I want more power I run with my S&W 360 M&P, both with (2) speed loaders. I find I am more accurate with a...

I had a relative who was in the Canadian Military & was issued one of these pistols. My Canadian relatives came across it when they cleaned out the house after he died. With Canadian laws the way they are they feared having possession of it. Since it was a family member I inherited it. This was...

FYI. Watch what people sell you. The Pearce Grip Extension DOES NOT WORK on the 45 Shield 7rd mags no matter what they tell you. They do not have the guides molded in them. They work just fine on the 6rd mags.

I carry both my 9mm Shield & my 360 M&P in the small of my back about the 5:00 o'clock position in a DeSantis Cozy Tuck #28 Left hand though I am right handed. Only pain I get is when I rest against a fiberglass seat but I just sit a little side ways as to not put pressure on the spine.

Rick_A What did you do to remove the "internal lock" from your pistol?

Weight is an issue with any carry. Yes you can train yourself to carry the heavier "J" but you are still carrying extra weight that will get to you faster then the lighter "J"'s will. You are only getting older so why not carry what you will end up at your older age & have years with your "J"...

Mostly I carry this 340M&P .357 Mag with 135 gr Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel ammo or Remington 357 125 semi-jacketed hollow points. I also load it with the Gold Dot 38+P as well. I have big hands so I also have the factory Uncle Mikes extended grips. These grips really help me keep the 357 mag...

XS Big Dot I put an XS Big Dot on my Shield. At that time I wore glasses for 52 years of my life. Had a little trouble with my progressive lens part which always annoyed me. Glasses were always bothering me & hindered my front sight to target acquisition. Since I had to get neck surgery last...

I carry based on where I am going. I'm North of Philly, PA & when I go down there I pack my 9mm S&W M&P Shield with loaded with hollow points & 2 back up magazines filled with hardball. Locally I carry my S&W 638 or 340M&P with 2 speed loaders with 38+P hollow points. With a revolver I am...
