Higher Capacity Shield...

[scott.amy00]

Everybody wants a gun that looks cool, holds 17 rounds of 45 ACP, can hit a fly in the head at 40 yards, weighs 6 ounces, fits in their pocket, has no recoil and cost $120.

Hell yeah, I'll take two of those please...but only if it has a rail for my weapon light and the slide is cut for an RMR!

Why don't cha just buy a small 9mm glock and use their 33 rd magazine in it?

This logic is infallible. I suppose you got us all there.. except I like a thumb safety...

I like my Shield 1.0 very much, but I carry my Ruger LC9S. For me, weight and size are all that matter for carry, and the Ruger is lighter and smaller than the Shield. The 8 round magazine is never used in the Shield unless I’m at the range. Makes a bigger gun even bigger.

When did the Shield come out? 10 years ago? It’s not the best choice anymore. Yeah, the Sig is more expensive, but at least it comes with night sights. If round count was my number one priority, I’d carry the Sig over the Ruger. They’re virtually identical in size and weight with more rounds. I do know if I didn’t already have a Shield or the Ruger, I’d pass them both over in favor of the Sig. I keep them both because I’m not going to sell two perfectly functioning and reliable guns to buy one.

Bottom line, Smith needs to make something to compete with the Sig and the Hellcat. They’re surely losing sales to them both.

Might be that they are waiting to see who wins the election. After today, legalisation to restrict magazine capacity may be coming very soon if not an executive order ASAP.
