You might try a search on this sight, there have been several threads on it, including something in the review section.

I wish I could find one for sale in Southern Indiana.

Bare Arms in Noblesville had 2 come in and they were gone the next day. He said he was ordering 2 more. I will be checking it out when they come in.

Great gun, feels nice in the hand, very concealable. My wife loves it and shoots very well with it, I still shoot better with my Glock 26, but with some more practice Im sure the Shield would be fine. For easier carry in the summer months I would even consider picking one up for myself since I can't seem to pry it away from my wife

If I could sell my LCP I'd buy one in a minute.

I've put right at 800 rounds through mine. FMJ and hollow points feed through with no problems. It has replaced my M&P pro as my E.D.C.

I am on a list for one at my LGS.

loving mine!

I just spit water all over my screen

OH, I'm sorry

OH, I'm sorry

Evil Mods!

I was just trying to be helpful..

 

[KLB]

I found the grip to be a little too thin. I liked the feel of the 9c better.

 

[TLHelmer]

I have been thinking about one also, but I can't justify it. My Kahr P9 is smaller and thinner. Besides my wife is about to kill me since I just found a Walther PPQ.

 

[Dr.Midnight]

I'm really enjoying my Shield. The only negative thing I can say about it, and this is just me personally, is that it has that darn external safety. I will say after 500 trouble free rounds, it hasn't been an issue, and in fact, I'm almost to the point where I don't even notice it any more.

 

[scottka]

I shot my buddy's yesterday, and really liked the way it shot. If I had to pick one negative thing though... I wish it had a tapered muzzle (like the LC9). The hard edge on the slide at the muzzle end really makes it print in a pocket considerably more than the LC9, so I'm kind of on the fence. Thinking about keeping the LC9 and buying a Shield instead of getting rid of the LC9. Use the Shield for small IWB and the LC9 for pocket.

To each his/her own. Of all the crappiest triggers in the world, the LC9's may be the crappiest. So glad I dumped the Ruger and went with the Shield.

No argument there. The Shield's trigger leaves the LC9's in the dust, although I wouldn't say the LC9 has THE crappiest trigger in the WORLD. It's long, no doubt, but it's not terribly heavy or vague. Not much of a departure from a DA revolver. Sadly, the boxy front end may make me hold onto both. Hard to say though, time will tell.
