The Chick on the Side

I'm a shameless Glock fanboy, but once in a while I just need something smaller to carry. I have had my eye on the Shield since Smith & Wesson announced its release. Once they produced a version without a manual safety, I was sold. Great carry piece. The HST's allow you to get the most out of the 9mm cartridge. 7+1 and a back up magazine with 8 rounds makes for 16 rounds total. Not enough to go to war with, but more than enough to do the job.
