    Shield Sale

    WOW , wish that I knew that yesterday, had been waiting over a month for my lgs to get a shield in so I went and bought a Glock 43 today. They are a small mom and pop store so they are last on the list to receive any shields.

    Holster Search M&P Compact 9mm w/ Crimson

    I had a shield 9mm with the green ct and holsters were hard to find, I ended up with the Crossbreed IWB and was happy with it. Wife took the shield and I now have a Glock 43.

    What type of punch to move sights

    I purchased a universal site removal tool on ebay for just over $30 to remove a front site on my SR22. As a retired journeyman machine repairman I would prefer to use that tool rather than using a punch but to each his own.

    Is this a factory defect?

    I agree that it probably doesn't hurt anything but when you pay good money for a new product you want it right. Hopefully it will be returned soon and in the proper condition. My wife got her permit and took my shield and I am patiently waiting for my lgs to get another one in. I know that they...

    Shield v Jframe

    The reason that I went to the Shield is that the LCR 38+p I own is bulky to conceal carry.

    probably and Shield

    Bob O. - Ouch, I know that feeling, He said the PPS was a really good gun but it was thinner and since he and I are both older the gun would twist easier in your hand. I have had a bone removed from the base of each thumb due to arthritis [retired machine repairman] and the soft shooting Shield...

    probably and Shield

    Wife took the NRA safety course applied for and got her carry permit. She likes my shield with the CT green laser and decided it was hers. Have been looking around for another compact 9 for cc, checking all brands. one store told me the shield was a much better gun than the Sig 290RS or the...

    left hand OWB coss draw holster

    My wife took the NRA gun safety course then got her ccp, she is taking my shield with the green ct laser. She is left handed and wants an OWB holster that is a cross draw, she also wants it canted so that it doesn't hang down that far. Have been burning up the net checking but not having much...

    Thinking of a MP 22

    a follow up on the elbow issue, went to the range today and wore my lightweight elbow brace [not the good one I wear when riding my bike] no problems at all. No MP 22 in the future, maybe looking at another 9mm if my wife decides to get her carry permit. I will probably turn over the shield to...

    Thinking of a MP 22

    update just went to a new local gun store and told the guy what I was looking for and why and he more or less told me that I was a fool. He told me the only way I could stop a guy with a 22 was with a head shot. He said you can kill a person with a 22 but it takes a long time for them to die...

    Thinking of a MP 22

    I have a shield 9mm that I love great carry gun and fun to shoot. I am a retired machine repairman so I have abused my hands and arms over the years. I bought a Ruger LCR 38 +p to carry a few years ago because 357 beat me up. I liked the cushioned grips and it served me very well. I bought the...

    Favorite holster w/ CT laser and narrow clips

    I just ordered a Crossbreed hybrid for my Shield with Crimson Trace green laser, hopefully it won't take to long to get here so I can post a review. Have been using a Versacarry which works very well but want a little something between me and the gun.

    Is your better half for or against conceal carry ?

    my wife doesn't care for guns but accepted that I carried. For about the past year she has asked if I was carrying when we went out, said it made her feel better. She is now going to take a NRA safety class and is considering getting her permit. The times are changing and so are the people out...

    Bodyguard slide frozen-Help

    just a thought from a retired journeyman repairman - the hardened firing pin may have broke due to bad heat treating causing the metal to become brittle. like I said just a thought

    OWB holster

    I have a new Shield 9mm with a Green CTC laser and I am having a hard time finding a decent owb holster. I bought a bellyband but don't care for it and on the recommendation of a friend bought an iwb holster but don't care for the way it feels inside of my waist band. I can find plenty of...

    Mag Loader?

    Thanks everyone for all the info and the warm welcome, I am a retired journeyman machine repairman but Arthur has limited my tinkering. Got back into shooting (Ruger 10/45 pistol) and love it. Have been carrying a Beretta 21A for cc and realized I could use a little more stopping power...

    Mag Loader?

    Brand new owner, first S&W and bought a Sheild compact with Crimson Trace laser. Bought this due to many high praises and when I brought it home it was impossible to get more than one shell in either mag. I took them out to the garage and put a drop of oil on several key spots and then took a...
