Re: .45acp Shield
Hmm, I'm Glock guy but I have to admit, that is interesting.
I would wait a while just to be sure they work out any bugs etc., but it is certainly appealing.

I love the Shield 9MM.
I have the Springfield XDs 45
I may have to get this, to check it out!

Re: .45acp Shield
interesting, very close in size to the 9mm and the same capacity.
Re: .45acp Shield
very intersting indeed. I loved my shield .40 but didnt much care for the XDS 45. I wonder how this will handle. I really dislike this mismatched magazines however. I wish you got the option for 2 7 or 6 rounders.
Re: .45acp Shield
Interesting indeed... but I think my first .45 should be a 1911 .

I'm curious to see your reaction. I have an XDS45 and love it, but haven't carried it in a while in favor of a G43.Teamless wrote:I love the Shield 9MM.

Re: .45acp Shield
I've been pleased and impressed with my Shield 40. and plan on buying one in 45. Same capacity, only slightly heavier and larger. I can live with the front slide serrations, even though I don't like them. Maybe it will even ride in my current holster!
Texas friendly, spoken here.
Re: .45acp Shield
I figured sooner are later S&W would come with a .45 in the Shield. I carry a Shield9 from their Performance Center and it will do me just fine. Some will want that .45 for sure.
