3 to evaluate
From my experience the top 3 pistols in 40 cal would be the Sig P320, Smith M+P n the Glock 22 in that order.. I love all three.
But as time goes on I think you will see a continued rise in popularity by knowledgable gun owners for the Sig. The design, accuracy, ergonomics and...
Jeans pocket
In pocket is the only way I like to conceal carry. The Shield is fine in some jeans I wear. W slightly bigger pocket. It lies very flat n un- detectable in a Desantis pocket holster. For me it is the perfect cc
Colt 6920
You got some good but incomplete advice here. The Smith Sport is ok if you are never considering selling it for a decent price. Smith now has a new Sporter out with dust cover n forward assist. I think it was silly to eliminate them in the first place. Also know this... The Colt ARs...
Perfect
The Shield or the bodyguard 38 revolver in a Desantis nemesis pocket holster are perfect CC pocket rig for me. It will make u forget about IWB hassels
That Ruger is one sweet carry....especially for a woman w purse...the simple reliable design of a revolver coupled with Ruger reliability and ease of readiness makes that a great choice
Porting a CC size handgun makes absolutely no sense to me. Can't see where Smith thought this was desirable in a small conceal carry masterpiece like the Shield..they need to stop experimenting with it...it's perfect as is now
The Shield is 1 million seller
Absolutely think the Shield is a super reliable n easy to carry gun.
Perhaps most interesting thing about its reliability rep is just how many gun shop people carry it n rave about the gun. I talk with many experienced gun industry people n the Shield always gets...
Surprised
I was very surprised to read 380 issues. Normally Smith has no problems on a mature release forearm. I EDC either my Shield 9mm or my bodyguard 38 revolver n they are examples of flawless Smith performance n reliability....that's the only type of firearm n track record that I'd carry...
I agree. A ported barrel for a pocket carry Shield that's dumb.
And the sights aren't as good as traditional 3 dot. This was not a well though out enhancement. The Shield as is is near perfect CC firearm... That Smith felt that need to exploit the great sales numbers. They blew it on this PC model.
I don't see any legit reason for S&W to introduce a new Shield . The original one is near perfect CC firearm which won't be improved upon that much. It's just profit greed because they had a winner with the original
Also if the sights are not all that good that is completely unacceptable while...
When I first got my Shield n tried to disassemble n reassemble it was an absolute bear n frustrating. First of all there was no yellow color on sear to push down, I later found it maybe yellow on other Mp models but not the Shield I had. I resorted to the Glock method of trigger pull until I was...
