    The Shield looks nice if you can find one, I help a .40 and it felt good in the hand. I came real close to a snagging a Walther P38, I thought too long and lost out on it. They are nice duty sized...

    I figured I have a little bit of everything but being a mostly revolver guy I never considered the 9mm until recently. I just though it was a large hole in my tool box, so I found a good shooter...

    Bought a plastic pistol. S&W M&P45

    Not sure why, just got the wild hair. I was looking at a GLOCK 21 but it was just too big for my girlie hands. So I went with an M&P45 because with the small grip insert it feels pretty OK in the...

    If you don't have a set of night sights I would spend the money there first, and I'm not much of a believer in battery dependent devices on a carry piece.
