Try the sr9c , smaller , just as reliable , i just like the longer barrel , accuracy , more rounds. !Emil. Compact post: 211318:I was eye balling this gun but it was a little larger than what I wanted
I can get rounds off much quicker with the Shield than with the LC9. I have a hard time with my weak pansy finger getting the trigger to break on the LC9, which results in me just jerking the trigger if I'm trying to rapid fire. The only major difference I notice while holding them both in my hands is the weight difference as you mentioned. However, it does not bother me while carrying. My confidence with using the Shield is much greater than the LC9. I am confident I'd be able to protect myself in a less than ideal situation with the Shield.
With all that being said, I'd love to shoot the new LC9S. Which I understand is the striker fired version of the original LC9. I'm sure that would be a more ideal carry choice for myself with my pansy fingers over the LC9. But overall, I'm happy with the Shield. As you said it's a great range gun and I manage to comfortably use it as my EDC.

Reloading factory birdshot into 7/8 oz slugs. Lead comes from the shot. Cup, piston, and powder are already included in the factory load.

Push the slug back into the shotcup. It locks in tight.

These perform just as good as the 1 oz factory slugs and have zero recoil.
$0.15 slugs are alot more fun than $1 slugs.

They are a ton of fun! Because the AR has so many moving parts that I knew nothing about prior, I opted to build mine instead of buying complete. Now I can tear it down to the bare bones and build it back up no problem.Pretty.
I am looking at an AR556 as we speak.... -BIG DAN
