I have one in a 40S&W. Carries well and is a good gun. The 40 is really snappy :D :D :D so I would avoid that one especially if this is for a lady or someone with not much hand strength.. I also have the Glock 43, XDS 9, and Ruger LC9S.

I don't carry them anymore due to limited capacity, but If I was going to choose a single stack 9mm I would probably go with the Shield or the Ruger.

I just purchased my wife a sig sauer p938 and she loves it I am thinking about getting one for myself very nice cc gun and very low recoil for its size I like it better than any of the other 9mm that I have.

Have the shield in 9mm and would highly recommend it. If you go with the Ruger make sure it is the LC9S and not the original LC9

Got a .40 shield from cwink a few weeks ago. I like it for a carry gun. I chose it because I had been using the .40c and like it and the have the same functionality with a thinner profile.

My EDC gun is a Shield 9mm in a cross breed mini clip. It is slimmer and lighter than my Glock 27 40cal. and it hides easily. And I can shoot it well for a small frame pistol. I like it alot.

I have a shield 9mm that I carry everyday and going from a colt 45 1911 I can't even tell I have a gun on me lol


I really like it and don't think you will go wrong with it

Another vote for the shield as a EDC. I have it in the .40 as well.

I carry mine everyday as well. I really like it. I had a Taurus slim stolen and liked it for the price. I shot it well but always said I would get a Shield 9mm if something happened to the Taurus. The Taurus was stolen in a vehicle theft and I purchased the Shield. If something happens to this Shield, I will be back in line to grab another Shield in 9mm. I could not ask for a better EDC.

Yep. I have the Shield .40. I use a Versacarry inside the waistband clip holster. It hides very well.

Good gun but lately I prefer the Glock 43 when I have to go to a single stack. I think I bought the first Shield in 40sw that was sold in Greenwood. I've never had a lick of trouble with it, just went to 9mm for a couple extra rounds when carrying an already small gun.

Yes, but once you draw you have to "undress" to holster.

Had a shield in 9mm that carried well in some ways - it's flatter than my G26 but longer and taller. For me with my short waisted 5'-8 frame, the 26 hides better and I shoot the G better so I gave the shield to my daughter. She loves it
