I’ve been impressed by a few different guns through the years but most recently I have to say that my S&W Shield Plus ( 9mm) has surprisingly impressed me quite a bit.
Back around 2021ish I decided that I may want a small auto loader to be used for occasional carry if for some reason I felt that I needed more capacity than my LCR could afford me (plus it was another excuse to buy a new gun). After renting about every micro/sub compact auto loader at the three ranges I frequent I found that I shot the Glock 43X the best out of all of them. However there was one huge issue that I consistently encountered when shooting this model (regardless of which range I rented it from), it hurt my trigger finger…bad. I had to take a break after five or six shots in most cases. I own Glocks! What's up with that?
Anyways I ended up getting the Shield Plus since it seemed to be the closest thing to a second place winner in my rather unscientific shooting trials.
As I have gotten to know this little fella better it has really grown on me or shall I say I have adapted so greatly to the Shield Plus that it feels almost natural to use anymore and I am about as accurate with it as anything else at shorter in-house distances. In other words, I have confidence in this gun.
Having acquired a second Shield Plus (30SC this time) I opted to turn the 9mm into a dedicated home defense pistol. I’ve decked it out with a set of Truglo TFX Pro sights on top and a Streamlight TLR6 HL on the bottom. That way we’re ready for all lighting conditions which we might encounter around the casa.
