Shield or Pocket Gun

Those are pricey little suckers.

I never carry eithout a holster, the desantis is what I use now. It's just too big for a lot of my jeans and slacks. And the thick desantis adds to it. I still see the cylinder hump with it, but maybe I am being overly critical.

You could be. People arent gonna stare at the bulges in your pockets. Unless you are John Holmes.

That is probably the case. I will say it is the only time I carry that my GF spots it immediately... I realize that is opening me up for many a jokes.

I carry my Kahr CW9 in a PJ Holster IWB kydex, and my SW 640ND in a Bianchi/Berns-Martin upside down rig.

Kahr is a great gun I rock the CW45 love it or the glock 19 as my EDC

For pocket carry, I'm not sure that the shield would work. I carry mine with an IWB holster and it doesn't print at al (and I'm a skinny guy). As far as the gun, you can't go wrong. I LOVE MY SHIELD!

I was intrigued by them when first released, but the reports reliability issues after just 2-300 rounds and the company's stance that it is not meant to be shot a lot, only to be used for self defense and therefor it is not a defect turned me off. Having to change the spring every 300 rounds or whatever the number is, no thanks.

Never had an issue with mine...shoots really well, in fact. Yes, after a couple hundred rounds they suggest changing the $5 recoil spring when you clean it. There is a price to pay with the smallest 9mm AUTO on the market.

Also, who want to go shoot a tiny 9mm for fun? Don't you have other handguns?

Looks very cool, like the grips quite a bit. But pricey.

Very cool!

Flip a coin and get one now. Get the other in February. You won't rest easy till you have them both. Why torture yourself?

I like the Shield AS a pocket gun...carries nicely.
