Anyone own one.... use it as their carry gun? if you do have one, what do you think about it?


thanks.

I have one in a 40S&W. Carries well and is a good gun. The 40 is really snappy 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.

Make sure she trains with it!!! If she doesn't carry in condition 1 "Cocked & Locked" then single Action pistols require a whole lot more training to be able to draw, chamber a round or pull the hammer back and fire.. This is something she will likely NOT be able to do under stress without lots and lots of practice..

If she does carry in condition 1 make sure she has a good holster for it...

I am not a big fan of 1911 style single action pistols for self defense because most people don't practice enough with them to become efficient with them.. I am a 1911 owner but I don't carry one for this reason. An instructor friend of mine has a class called "Become a 1911 Shooter" that teaches these tactics. There is a big difference between being a 1911 Owner and a 1911 Shooter and being able to fight with a 1911..

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.

You like the versacarry? Have been intrigued by them.

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
