Good idea, but with all the BS going on about mag capacity. What good would it do to have a Shield .22LR if u can only have a mag capacity of 5 or 7, lol. There would be way too much reloading involved in order to have any fun with it.
I am on the fence about a 22lr Shield. I have a 9mm Shield and it is everything I could possibly want in a CC gun. I think there would have to be something that would make distinguishing a 22 version from its larger siblings automatic. (Is that a pun?) Would not want to reach into a safe and pull the wrong one by mistake.
I don't know. That would just perpetuate the belief that .22lr is an acceptable SD round. Since the Shield is a carry gun and all. Of course it would be FUN.
