My wife has both the M&P Shield and the Taurus 738, and she loves both. Everything you've said about the Shield is true, so I needn't elaborate on it any more. The Taurus is even smaller, which would normally raise a red flag for me, as small guns are harder to shoot well than larger ones, but the 738 does a great job. Weighing in at just 10.2 ounces, it carries 6 + 1 rounds of the lower-recoiling .380. Load it with a good quality defensive round and you're good to go. So small that my wife has carried it in her bra. (Yeah, TMI. Sorry.) For guys, it makes a great pocket gun. It's hammer-fired, but has an incredibly good trigger on it. You have to try it to believe it. My wife picked up hers for just $200. At $200, it's almost an impulse purchase. Just found your blog and I'm loving it.The Approaching Day Prepperhttp://www.theapproachingdayprepper.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-71592969240312535632012-10-17T11:35:41.004-05:002012-10-17T11:35:41.004-05:00http://www.hivizsights.com/ Shield sightshttp://www.hivizsights.com/ Shield sightsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-7488572517104177962012-10-12T14:19:23.991-05:002012-10-12T14:19:23.991-05:00The after-market sights for the Shield aren't ...The after-market sights for the Shield aren't technically available yet. Trijicon HD series fits the gun, but they're not technically made for that gun, so I'm going to wait for the sights made specifically for the Shield.<br /><br />I own an XD and like it, but the trigger pull is way out there, and I like the shorter reset on the Shield. Shorter reset = faster follow-up shots. If you like the XDS, why not try it in a 9mm? I'm not sure if you're male or female, but if you're a woman, I would not recommend the .45...... a lot of recoil.

So neither is optimum for a woman. If you can't get a Shield, you might take a look at the subcompact M&P series or the Glock 26. Both are double stack vs. the single stack on the Shield, so they are a little wider gun. I have the Glock 26 and love it, (and PLW loves the fire power of his) but it's still too big for me to carry concealed on my person. That's why I waited so long for the Shield. <br /><br />Another possible avenue for #1 Jinni would be the Kahr PM9. It's a bit pricey, but she's worth it, right? It's very well made and while it does have a double action trigger, it's so smooth it doesn't feel like one.

Like all things in life, the picture is better when male and female interpretations are brought together.<br /><br />Reading your post, I thought, "Gee, wouldn't this be a great present for #1 Jinni's graduation..." And exactly as you say, they are HARD to find. There is exactly ONE listed on GunAuction.com, and it's already at $560 with 11+ days to go and 57 bids.<br /><br />Have you fired the Ruger LCP or LC9?

However, when I went to look at it, a friend at the gun counter tried to talk me in to buying the Shield. I still am unsure which to buy. I particularly like the sights on the XDS. What do the after-market sights look like for the shield?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
