    Pics of how you carry your shield

    Been carrying OWB with a jacket covering... but now it's getting warm so I'll have to try it out with just a T-shirt. Not been able to find a comfy way to carry IWB.

    I'm no expert but....

    I used shoe goo... Very strong rubber type glue. It definately lacks many of the finer details but I am very happy with the results. It will be worn concealed anyways. I wanted it to be practical and comfortable..... And so far it wears really close and comfy. Thanks again for all the positive...

    I'm no expert but....

    Yes.... my first leatherwork since I was a kid. I didn't get the edges as good as I wanted nor did I cut grooves for the stitching. I need to get a few more tools I guess. I even used a kitchen fork to mark my stitch spacing...lol.

    A Shield encased in Elephant

    ...So are cows.... so predators are OK for making leather but others are not. also consider this... The source of all African elephant skins come from culls once the elephant heard reaches destructive numbers to African tribes and nature. It’s very similar to our deer season in the United...

    Anyone order from Palmetto?

    I ordered a Walther CCP on Dec 20th.... they called me Fri morning the 2nd that it was in the store... was still showing processing later that day after I had picked it up. I really can't understand how it could take so long to process an order and ship it, with computers it should be almost...

    Stray Bullet Kills Man

    I have been hit in the head by fireworks debris (bottle rockets or the larger ones) falling back down and can say that those give a good smack when they hit you or an object nearby. So I'm sure even a small chunk of lead at terminal velocity would hurt and possibly be capable of damage. So I...

    Shield 9mm can't lock slide back without a magazine in, normal?

    I was having this same problem with mine. I finally noticed that if I pulled upward on the slide as i pushed it back it would easily go back far enough to engage the slide stop. Im not sure what yet but it seems the slide is catching on something inside near the rear of travel. an empty or full...

    Shield to qualify for CCP

    I shot my new Shield to qualify for CCP class yesterday. It ran perfect.... not a single hitch. Had already ran 400 rnds through it without any problems except for a few times the slide failed to lock back after last shot early on and has not done it anymore. I am so impressed with this little gem.

    New S&W owner.... well almost.

    Got a Shield 9 on lay-away... hope to complete the purchase soon. Will be the first S&W I have ever owned. Can't wait to shoot it! I used to shoot a lot in the 90's, but not much the last 10 yrs or so. Planning on getting my CCP soon and needed a smaller lighter pistol to carry than any I have...
