I am looking for advice on which SD pistol to get. I live in the Republic of New Jersey and I am currently waiting for three Golden Tickets, and probably will be for a couple more months. I already know that I want a Victory 22. I was looking for a decent SD pistol and discovered the Shield 380 EZ. I am 65 and have a little arthritis in my shooting hand. It took me several weeks to research and become content with the idea of using the 380 for SD.I don't want a tiny pocket pistol that is hard to control and hard to rack. The 380 EZ seemed to fill all the blanks and my LGS even had one that they were holding for someone and they showed it to me. I could live with this gun. My 24 year old son however thinks I should get a better looking 380 and he suggested the Browning 1911-380. I just held two of them at my LGS and although they are twice the price of the 380 EZ, they look.....cute.....sexy.....cool! I have some time before my Golden Tickets arrive and I need advice from people who have experience with either or both firearms.
