Shield envy

[Watchdog]

Well, I don't see much, if anything, to be envious about someone owning multiple Shields. Well, maybe envious of them having the money to buy a bunch of 'em.

I have a .45 Shield. Bought it months ago. Before the rebate. It has a good trigger right out of the box. Other than that little surprise, there's nothing extraordinary about the pistol, nothing special. A bunch of folks seem unhappy with the new style grip texture. Doesn't bother me. Or they don't like the loaded chamber indicator. Or the forward serrations on the slide. They don't like external safeties on them (mine has one...a point in its favor for me) Everyone raves about the .45 Shield, but then proceed to nitpick the little pistol to death.

But really, Shields (any Shield) are just like Glocks. Or those black Springfield things. They're a dime-a-dozen pistol. I carry mine in a dime-a-dozen Mini-Scabbard holster by DeSantis. It's an okay pistol, but again, nothing special.

Mine is special.

I know it's definition, but the way it was used here made it sound like maybe it was a special edition type of Shid.

Academy carries one without the thumb safety. Last time I checked, the S&W website doesn't even show it, but it exists, I bought one a few weeks ago. $389.99.

I had no interest in a .45 until the rebate and sale hit. I just couldn't pass it up. Well after shooting my Shield .45 a few times (400 rounds), I'm ready to make it my EDC. Shot 75 flawless rounds of Winchester Ranger T 230gr, which will be my carry round. Now I'm just waiting on a new holster from TT Gunleather. Life is good.
