Thanks.
Can't wait for lower due sometime in the next few weeks, already paid for.
I have their grip also and a Giselle trigger for it.
They are now coming out with an engraved BCG also and a barrel.
Definitely planning on getting them.

That sounds like it's going to be one bad@@@ build, Carlos!

Here is my XD9

Ordered a bonesteel folding stock for my AK, a Beretta Nano, and a Glock 23. Busy week

When I held that Shield in my hand, it was a love made in heaven. When I fired it, we consummated the relationship. (Still on honeymoon)

The Shield is reliable, thin (unlike the others listed here), reasonably priced but just hard as heck to find. They seem to be popping up more often now.

I just ordered one tonight in 9mm. I hadn't been able to find one to shoot, but rented a S&W 9 compact and liked it enough to buy the Shield as my new carry gun after reading a lot about it. I also tried the glock 26 and the Beretta.

I couldn't catch them in stock anywhere for quite a while but came across them for $380 from Lanbo's Armory today. Hopefully I'll have it at the range next week!

Went and picked up my new Nano today!

Good stuff man.

Blueface · 10-31-2013, 03:58 PM

Nice gun.
Enjoy!

Remo · 10-31-2013, 03:59 PM

Had a cleaning day today, 2 handguns and my AR are all clean (been awhile).

Remo · 10-31-2013, 04:00 PM

Anyone have a Sig P380? Really wanting a pocket gun!

You mean the P238?

My wife has the HD model that has more weight to it.
Very 1911 like.
Incredibly accurate with minimal recoil compared to my Ruger LCP.
Great night sights standard.

Blueface · 10-31-2013, 04:30 PM

This is hers.

Ya, 238, a buddy brought one into work the other day...slick!!

Remo · 10-31-2013, 04:33 PM

Yup, thanks Carlos...his was a dark earth color

Blueface · 10-31-2013, 04:36 PM

While it costs about twice as much as an LCP, it's 10 times better.
My wife who is still skidish handles it like a pro.
The non HD does have a slight more recoil, but minimal.
Only issue with it, a non issue if you are use to 1911's, is that you need to carry it with the hammer cocked, and as result, I think the safety on is a must

Blueface · 10-31-2013, 04:39 PM

Like this.

Remo · 10-31-2013, 04:43 PM

Ya, cocked and locked

A semi-tale of autos

Added the third from top today. S&W Bodyguard 380. Top of frame is my oldest, my Baby Browning .25. Retiring it today to the gun safe, just too hard to find parts if it should break. Next down is the Bodyguard .380, which will replace the Baby Browning as a daily carry. Really nice action on the S&W, much easier for my wife to rack than the Ruger LCP we also looked at.

Next is the Ruger LC9 9mm she carries in the car. The biggest is the S&W 9mm I picked up several months ago, to rotate with my Browning BDA .380 as a daily carry. Browning is the gun safe, or it would be in photo too.
