^ good points, sworbey, I would not consider your shield idea though. The 9mm barrel is hard to acquire. It may take months. Buy a full size 40 instead and leave the 9 to the shield!

20 gauge pump. One of the only missing in my collection of shotguns. $130 otd. I've yet to try it but heard they're good. Just thought I'd share.

Oddly enough that gun I was talking about on hold is a Shield 9mm. Never even occurred to me to mention that similarity. Haha.

Also I want to say that the shield has problems reported from users in the 40 caliber. Magazine doesn't set right and it causes failures to feed and jams. Doesn't mean the shield overall is a bad gun, just means they haven worked the bugs out of the 40 yet.

Originally Posted By: ZeeOSix I'm looking at purchasing the S&W Shield in the near future. Can't decide between 9mm or .40 cal. I have an old (circa 1987) S&W 669 in 9mm, but it's a double stacker. Want the more compact Shield. I have never owned a .40 cal, but per the ballistics info it's only...

I can notice a difference. But then again, I have ears of gold.

198,600 miles - Prius Out, Havoline 5w30 SM/Microgard In, 3 qts Mobil Super 0w20, 1 qt Mobil 1 0w40/Napa Gold

That's a nice spread. Thanks for working on it.

If you think that's bad op, I took a purolator off my car and it disintegrated and vanished in my cute little hands. Then my car vanished. They need to seriously fix these problems.

I've got one in gun jail as we type. I've always thought it was an "okay" gun overall but probably the best in its class and price range. It's primary purpose is carry, if it wasn't I wouldn't be getting one. As far as the safety goes my reaction had always been that the safety on this pistol...

Originally Posted By: Win The Walther P99AS is striker fired, DA/SA, and has a decocker. It's a terrific handgun for anyone wanting a striker fired polymer gun. How can it be both striker fired ...AND DA/SA? Something new here I've never heard of?

For home defense a beretta 92fs or a px4 storm are good choices. 92fs has combat accuracy and is easy to manipulate with the slide and other ergonomics. It's a beautiful pistol to boot. The px4 is a more modern polymer style beretta with a narrower grip profile and more precise accuracy (IMO)...

Yeah lever actions are sweet. I prefer them over bolts.
