I must admit that it takes forever for the first update, but after that it moves along pretty fast.
Time get purchase a new CC gun, been eying the S&W Shield .40

I just got back from the range where I shot my newly purchased S&W M&P Shield 9mm for the first time...and it shoots VERY sweet! Very nice trigger action (though it's a little lighter than I prefer), handles recoil VERY nicely and shoots VERY accurately. Wished the mag held more than 8 rounds, but that's the price to pay for the slim frame. I highly recommend the Shield.

I also shot my recently purchased S&W 380 bodyguard (also for the first time)...and was not very impressed. Didn't like the DAO trigger action (hard and unpredictable) and I had 1 failure to fire, 1 stove pipe and 2 failures to load in just 80 rounds fired. I realize the gun is new, but I've never had ANY gun with that many functional problems in only 80 rounds in my life! I may not keep the 380 Bodyguard - right now, I can't depend on it.
