Default Shield 45 acp

For those who own them, any comments?
Are they made without a safety.
I have an early 9mm shield with no safety and like that variation.
Thanks

I have one. Nary a problem. Seems to be a mite more accurate than my 9/40 Shield. Mine carried daily on the farm has been exposed to a lot of sweat and dust. Again. Nary a problem.

I carry a Shield 45 every day. Mine does not have a safety, but they make them both with or without one. I prefer my carry gun without a safety. I am boringly accurate with this little pistol and the recoil from the 45 is barely felt more than the recoil from my Shield 9mm. I absolutely love this little gun! Mine is the Performance Center version, but any Shield 45 is an incredibly perfect option for CC. You should get one. You won't be disappointed.

I have one and I love it. I replaced the trigger with an Apex blue line and I wrapped it with a Talon grip. It has the best trigger of any striker fired pistol I have ever used. In fact, it rivals my 1911 Pro.

Love mine. Same exact size as a 3913 and equally as accurate.
