I just bought a shield today. My first gun.
Congrats, you'll love it. Its awesome to shoot.
I did today as well...2 of them from palmetto state armory...$249 a piece!!
So how many do you have now?
Its a great gun. I love it.
Welcome to responsible gun ownership Sir. 2A- NO COMPROMISE.
I own a G43. My EDC. I love it. For me the G43 is perfect cause it is invisible to carry. I carry all day, every day. Great pistol.
Own a Glock 19 and absolutely love it. When it came to deciding between these two, I had to go with the Shield. At the price I got it for, I was able fit it with a Streamlight TLR-6 and a Hogue grip for less than selling price of the basic 43. Next upgrade is Trijicon night sights. I'm a Glock fan myself, but not to the point of ignoring the value of other brands.
same here, love my glock, and its my nightstand gun for capacity reasons, but my EDC is a shield. I think its something about the ergonomics of the way the shield sits in my hands, but I am consistently more accurate with the smith over the glock...
Glock 1 yr. warranty only applies to the original owner. Smith warranties all subsequent owners and pays shipping both ways to boot.

What if the original owner shoots someone with it and throws it in a river and you find it and send it in for repair??
@@redacted4033 Your accessory to murder. Go straight to jail DO NOT PASS GO
Ya but glocks don’t have issues so warranty’s don’t matter
Well, the company may be willing to repair it, but you'd likely be facing charges if it ever came up. Get a new one.
Thank you. This is such a great review for people who are undecided between the G43 and a Shield, like you said it all comes down to personal preference. Personally I prefer the Glock.
I'm a fan of both guns. I prefer the S&W M&P 9mm Shield. Great video for first timers. Thank you! Great info and detail.
Hey, hey! ;)
Kanye West Think it be the other way around bud, might wanna get to know me first then the marrying action later. 😂 Too fast pace for me.
Kanye West I don’t do phone numbers unless I’m comfortable with the person. I have SC: ashbam1267
Kanye West Well, you knew that SC meant Snapchat, so you what it is. Sorry bout your luck sweet cakes.
Kanye West You can’t just claim anyone, not how the world works and you sure ain’t claiming me. I got 2 shotguns, 3 rifles, 2 pistols, and a knife set, good luck. You don’t even make sense.
Just got myself the shield in 9mm. It just felt so much better in hand than the G43.
Rich Ellis same here
Me too....LOL!
Sorry guys, I'm a Glock guy, got 6 of em, and love all of em
@@scoobyandscrappy1 ... noone cares what you buy.
You like over priced clunky guns? Good for you
I strongly agree. The Glock 43 was my choice until I held it in my hand. S&W shield felt great!
Just bought the Shield today; its the first gun i've ever purchased, and i've heard great things about it, super excited!
How’d you like it?
@@teelowteelow356 very solid gun, definitely recommended
The shield was my first gun as well. I own a shield plus now. Good stuff
I tested both and other guns that were similar. The Shield is the one I bought.
Me too.
Have the Shield in 9mm. It's a very great gun to carry concealed. At the range it's a stud. I love it. This is always going to remain part of my arsenal.
Nice video.
Your thoroughness and unbiased comparison of the two firearms is much appreciated as well as the effort it took to make this video.
I enjoy Glock and M&P but the Shield $299.99+ Tax & $75.00 Rebate was very hard to pass up
I got one when the had that deal now I have 3 two in 9mm one of witch is it Performance Center then I got the performance center 45
Where on earth did you find it for that price lol. I am buying one today and spending $399 with no rebate that I’m aware of. It has upgraded night sights though, maybe that’s the difference?
@@lt0295 You got the performance version which has upgraded trigger as well. or a used gun someone put sights on.
BEAT MY COVERED WIFE nope I didn’t. I got the plain 1.0 version that doesn’t even have tritium sights on it. My new trigger arrives tomorrow, which I bought separately.
@@lt0295 Oh ok no night sights. the plain 1.0 is on palmetto state armory for 300 after my FFl transfer fee (where i got mine) sorry i got to you too late Shalom brother
Great simple and thorough review! I've been trying to narrow down my choice of a weapon this size and you made it a little easier. Well done and thanks!
Shot both before purchasing. I Iove glock but I'm afraid the shield won this time, it's cheaper and I shoot it better. Lifetime warranty, well made, shoots comfortable for a small gun, American made etc.... It's a no brainier smith and wesson wins! My go to gun however will remain the glock 19! Thanks for sharing your thoughts sootch, love your vids!
Update-Now 500 rounds through my shield--100℅ reliable! Over a million made and early glitches have been rectified. I leave my c100 cz75 compact upgrade in the car and use the shield as my range gun; it's comfortable to shoot even using hot zqi nato ammo. I require a manual safety so my selection was between the shield and Sig 938. 1 was too small, grip didn't agree with me, and it had problems with the guide rod--see "Shooting the Bull's" post. Completely satisfied and am still awaiting a PC due to hi-vis sights and trigger job.
Thanks for your unprejudiced review even as a "Glock" man--lol...
I like the 42" but Ive owned a G26 for 3 years" I'm a big fan of the Glock 26
just bought a shield 9mm over thanksgiving weekend. I love it.
Your closing statement alone is worth a thousand thumbs up!
Good review. Agreed. Its personal pref. The winner for me is CA. version SHIELD9, ext. safety, viridian green laser. Mag-guts+2.cap.9+1/10+1.147 gr.hydro. Awesome firearm. Eats all ammo. Love it. Be safe.
Thanks for all your time and effort making these vids. Very informative and straight forward. I own a sheild but am considering a 43. Keep up the good work!
I have been debating over the Glock and M&P since I started wanting to conceal carry! I have made my decision! M&P it is
Good choice
I carry G26 but started with a shield and one have no problem using it again, its a fantastic gun and it will always have a special place in my heart. Im going to get my wife one.
I carry my Shield 9mm in my front pocket no holster with thumb safety on. I might get the M&P 45 compact
@@johnwayne2012 .. Are you serious? There is no argument here. You always use a holster and do NOT use the safety. A proper holster with retention is your safety.
@Phil Mccrevasse ... That just proves that there are lots of people making big mistakes while carrying a firearm. No excuse for that!
I have these exact pistols, and I too prefer my S&W 2.0 The grip somehow is much better IMO. Take-down of the Shield is not as easy. Not a big deal most times. So glad I bought it.
As always, very well done! You are my go-to- guy for high quality, informative gun reviews. Thanks!
I've watched all these review and comparison videos for the past few months and finally decided to get the Shield... It just so happened that they were having a sale that ends today and I got mine for $224.99 after mail in rebate. Pretty lucky coincidence! I've had it for 2 weeks now and am very happy with it so far!
Perfect timing on this video sootch. I'm considering picking up a shield for a Christmas gift.
I'm a huge Glock fan boy. I had them both and keep the shield......love your reviews!! Thanks
what's the name of your husband?
just came across ur videos. gotta say they're some of the most detailed & informative I've seen so far. really enjoy them! thanks for the great info!!
I always watch your videos when I'm looking for a new gun. Keep up the good work Sootch!
The glock fits me better. The shield has some hotspots 1 under the trigger guard and 1 at top of backstrap. Sold it amd got a 43. Its just whatever works best for ya.
Great review as always!
Great review as always!
Your videos are always so clear and concise! Awesome teacher!
I looked at both, ended up getting the Shield, just liked the feel better. been very happy with it.
M&P SHIELD ALL THE WAY
S&W Shield! This was my first pistol and I love it! 👏
SO GOOD! You covered every point so well and without bias. Great job!!!
Great video man! Really enjoyed it! I carry a sheild myself and agree with everything you had to say! Keep it up!
The Glock 43 feels perfect in my hands. It's all a matter of choice. I choose Glock over S&W for my own reasons, but they're both great guns. Great vid as usual Sootch. BTW, I never understand the whole 1911 grip angle issue. I've been shooting 1911's from my beginning, over 30 years. The Glock grip has never been an issue.
I own both guns. I carry the Glock while the Shield sits in the safe. Both great guns though, I just prefer the 43.
@@kingpins9 piss off lol
@@kingpins9 watch yourself or I'll strangle you with my baby hands lol
@C glock better? AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Fantastic review. I just bought the s&w. Love it. It’s my carry gun as well as for home defense.
Bought the shield about 2 weeks ago and I love it! Great carry gun & not too shabby at the range 👍🏽
The Shield is the clear winner in my book and I'm a Glock Fan Boy. They had their chance on single stack and blew it big time in my opinion
chuck middleton "once you get the aftermarket mag plates"
Yeah but this is a comparison out of the box. Most people won't even bother to search for aftermarket parts. With that said, you can do the same for the shield and it will then hold +1 above the glock, again. Lol
Macleod644 i keep noticing the argument for glock usually involves "aftermarket customization" im already spending 500 bucks on a handgun w most glocks so why should i have to spend even MORE money just to make it the same thing as a something i can get out of the box that already has everything
chuck middleton true and im not knocking glock at all.
Jacokb Logan I
Glock42
I'm a 1st time gun owner. Checked out both Glock 9mm & smith & Wesson 9mm. My hands felt a lot better on the smith & Wesson. Better smaller/slim and fits better for CCW 👌🏽
The reason, why I choose to get WS
Thanks for the review sootch! Gives me a lot better idea of which one I want to buy now.
Just switched from glock to the shield. Had g19 gen4. Now have a shield 9mm. The difference is amazing. Plus with kids around, a safety is always an added preventive. Never rely on a safety, but it’s extra piece of mind.
The Glock 43 in my hands fits great,I love this single stack 9.............anything heavier then the Glock 43 I will just carry my Glock 19 and call it a day....But if your going to buy a single stack gun go with the shield..
definitely 9mm shield I think best concealed gun and very cheap but very accurate
Crazy Funny Money Maker m
john brandenburg My Shield has never jammed. The Shield is more quality right out of the box.
john brandenburg The best rip off compared to the competition.
I really dislike the extended mag for the shield. To extend it, they sort of just added a sliding piece that moves up and down the magazine. That's kind of just a nitpick, but does feel cheap to me. I wish their mags had a little different design.
@@aGuyWhoPatsDogs Use the Tarn tactical extension.
Very good unbiased review. I looked very closely at both of these and agree with all of your comparison points. Nicely done!
Excellent video. I'm deciding between these two as my first firearm and your video has helped me a lot. Thank you very much!
I really like Glock, I love my shield to. There’s one thing I definitely prefer the m$p has over the Glock is the finish on the slide very strong scratch resistant looks good
I've never shot the 43 but I carry my Shield daily and highly recommend it.
Awesome review, very helpful. Thanks so much!
As usual a very decent review. I own the Shield but was thinking about getting either the 43 or 43X. Rented the 43X at the gun range and wasn't impressed. After seeing this video and shooting the 43X, I'll stick with Shield for my EDC.
I looked at many different guns for concealment before deciding to go with the G43. At a petite 5'2" I needed something that I could carry with the different outfits I wear. Glock's reputation for reliability was important to me as well. Fits well in my hand and shoots well too. Almost went with a G26 but it was too bulky for me.
The g43 feels better in hand than the shield i must admit, but in terms of price, the shield has it beat.
Superb video. Cuts to the chase from the very beginning. No dead air. No hemming and hawing. No trying the listener's patience with time wasting irrelevancies. Gets right to the facts that people want to know about the two guns. More online videos ought to be like yours.
NB: My preference is for the Glock. I prefer its clean lines, which also mean less chance of snagging on clothing. Too bad it costs 100 dollars more.
You think that a Glock has clean lines? Guess you married the ugly sister............
Great video! I have both as well as aLC9s pro (and have uses for all 3). I normally prefer Glock by a mile, but in this case I love the 43 but LOVE the shield. Although I'll admit, mine seems to have a WAY better trigger than any one I've seen shown on TH-cam and it is stock. Bottom line is you can't go wrong with either of them. Both excellent guns!
Thank you for your awesome reviews. You're the best.
I have a Glock 42, but carry the Shield far more often. The Shield is a fine gun and a true value.
I own a Shield and it's great. For the money it can't be beat. Even with the Glock costing $100+ more, the justification for that premium isn't there. Sorry but the 43 is a day late and a dollar short.
Tommy TwoGun I like Glock, but you're absolutely right. $100 more for nothing over the shield. Glock needs to at least start putting better sights on their guns.
I like LifeTime Warranty, Shield for me.
Edward L. I would rather plastic sights that retain their marks vs metal sights that the paint pops out of
Ricky Hogan yea if I had a less reliable gun I would want the lifetime warranty as well
@@JuJu-yt8vk .....im buying the shield, but a funny comment none the less! 😂
Good one
Great video sootch, I wanted to see some up close of the 43 vs the shield size wise.
I loved this review, as I enjoy all your videos. It was comprehensive, thorough, and easy to understand and know exactly the features of both guns to make an educated decision. If I was in the market for a CCW I'd buy the M&P Shield, because it has the features I like in a stock, out-of-the-box pistol without needing to add anything-not that there's anything wrong with that-thanks for another great video.
I own both these guns and agree it's a matter of preference. But I have to say the Taurus PT 111 Millennium G2 is hard to beat for price, recoil and capacity. I wish more companies would make upgrades for it. But for me I carry the Taurus for now. After 2000 rounds with no hick ups, I feel confident in carrying it. As always great informative video.
+Grumpy4545 I have to agree, for the money the G2 is a great gun. If Taurus ever comes out with a G3 I hope they make the safety optional and add a decocker. When it is in double action the trigger is so smooth. they need to take advantage of it.
I love the looks and feel of the G2 Taurus but I bought one last year and continual FTF with all ammo including hst 124gr so I sold but bought another yesterday and it would fail to go into battery every shot with several kinds of ammo, cleaned tried again same thing. So I returned. Went with shield. I want to love Taurus but had to give up.
they are both awesome choices, i want both :)
Enjoyed your fair and non partial review (in my opinion). Just purchased the Shied and really like the feel. Have never shot the 43 Glock but from what I've heard it's a fine weapon. Keep up the good videos.
Great video; very incisive and succinct. Thank you for taking the time to make such an instructional video that explains these firearms to the layperson.
I own the Shield, never fired a Glock...but I can say the shield is fantastic.
I started with a shield and now carry glock 26, however I still love the shield and plan on buying one for my wife for her first gun
Both great guns. Sometimes you feel like carrying a 9, sometimes you don't. It's nice to have the lighter, thinner 380 as an option.
Lol this little kitty said a 380. That mp shield is a small gun with that 9mill power. What u gonna do with a 380 hunt rats
@@jaimemolinaaleman459 Some people might say the same exact thing about 9mm versus. 45. John Browning called the .380, a short 9.
Btw thank you for taking all your time for comparing! I hope you and your family are safe!
Great review good info. You do great reviews it helped me pick one.
Great video! I've seen reviews that claim to be neutral but end up favoring one or the other. Your review did a good job of leaving it up to the viewer to decide which is best for them. Thank you.
Just bought the 43 2 days ago. Haven't fired it yet. I truly love the feel of it. I did put a hogue grip on it cause I have semi large hands. It's going to be my EDC.
@deucedeuce22oz Better warranty,less money,higher capacity and equal if not surpassing the Glock in quality. It adds up. I got the Shield and would have got both but the 43 isn't available in my State. Im going to add a CZ Rami to my rotation as soon as I get a chance.
@deucedeuce22oz Can't get the 43 in the State because it's not on the DOJ roster. California. The Rami is the little brother to the CZ 75. It's a hammer fired sub compact with a Decocker . I love decocker pistols. And it can carry 14 rds. CZ quality.
@deucedeuce22oz If you can get your hands on one buy it.
That INTRO is what im talking about man good stuff str8 to the point! Great Video also.
Wanted to add a sub compact to my collection today and i was interested in the XDS and MP Shield. I picked up the XDS first and it felt ok. As soon as I picked up the shield for the first time, my mind was made up. So much better!
I’ll take the Glock every time. Thanks.
Love the shield, but like the 9c even more
+treiz Thats my EDC. Just a little bigger in all dimensions than the Shield but a LOT more firepower on tap if you consider carrying a fullsize spare mag. Even the flush 12rd'er isn't bad. I have a Shield, the 9C and 9L Performance Center, M&P fan here!
+mytmousemalibu great set of pistols! I'm thinking about the shield or the 9c for my next carry gun. I carry a Ruger LCR now (i really like it), but I want a semi auto option. I don't know if I should go for the capacity of the 9c or the comfort of the shield...
Andrew Jensen Best thing would be to go look at them at the same time, compare side by side. Even better if you could go to a range that does rentals and put some rounds through each. Shield is smaller by a little and lighter which it carries a little better but not by a drastic amount at all. Biggest difference is fully loaded weight, the 9C holding more rounds making it heavier. That's probably what stands out the most to me. Dimension wise, the width of the 9C over length/height is the most noticeable. For me the slight edge in comfort & weight wasn't enough to outweigh the extra firepower for EDC. Both are great guns, can't go wrong with either. Since I have a 9L also, its nice to have some mag compatibility and having a bunch of full size mags around. The 9L is my "open division" race gun, which a few mags have Taran Tactical & Taylor Freelance extensions on them, those big sticks fit the 9C just fine!
+treiz indeed, i have the 9c as well for my EDC, i have the apex duty trigger and trijicon dot over dot night sights installed.
***** The Apex triggers are an awesome upgrade over the original. I have one in my 9C and 9L. The 9C breaks at 3.5lbs and the 9L is 1.5lbs but its a competition gun. Running XS Big Dots on the C. Wouldn't have it any other way now. I wished they were a little better stock though. The trigger in my Shield was pretty poor but I just did a little work on it for now.
Excellent review and comparison video. Quality job! Thanks!
Excellent review, sir. Thank You.
I love my 43.
S&W 2.0 shield is my go to 43& I love it a lot
Hey Sootch, as always you put up a great video review. I’ve had both of these. Both are fine with my pference being the Shield. However, my late Oct 2018 P365 renders both these pistols obselete. Bugs worked out the P365 is a game changer. and, Im not a Sig fanboy.
im loving the Shield as my EDC, great video once again Sootch00
Got a shield 9mm for my birthday 3 days ago, love this gun already even Though i haven’t shot it yet!!
I just received mine. Haven't shot it yet.
I just recently bought a shield for about $275. So it's pretty cheap in general. But especially when you compare it to the comparable Glock.
Zashra How Much Was It Out The Door And What State Was It Purchased?
Great video! Trying to decide between these two. I am a long time Glock owner/shooter but my friends are talking about the shield. Was looking for an objective comparison and I think yours is fair.
Very good review sir! This will really help me decide which pistol to buy. Thank you!
If you think about it, glock has never released a new product since the 1980s, all glock models are just dimension changes on the original 17, a few updates here and there but the gun is very much starting to show its age.
Also the shield is just better then the 43, its even cheaper.
The shield is just another polymer copy of the Glock. Glock is / was the innovator. So is the Shield better ? I would say that's up to you. Myself, I'll stick with the Glock.
Sam's son Hmmmm, seems the only defense Glock seems to have these days is “but we were first.” A shield is anything but a copy of the Glock. Polymer is about the only similarity. The Shield’s sights are vastly better, the slide is better, the recoil is better, the grip is better, the magazine is better, and the capacity is better.
Being first is cool and all, but at some point, you have to start to innovate.
PS I love Glocks. I just accept that one is better for concealed carry, while another is better just for an all purpose, Jack of all trades gun.
@@lt0295 I wouldn't dream of trying to choose for every one, thing is, I have several Glocks, they always have worked well for me, coming from a 1911 platform as a teenager, it took awhile to get used to the trigger, learn the breaking and reset point. I'm going to keep the ones I have. (I still have that old 1911, shoot it now and then). And I'd really like to shoot the shield. Lots of videos of people who really like it. I like the XDS too, want to shoot it too, but I can't have them all. As much as I'd like that
what do you think about sig P365? I heard they had some problems with striker breaking when they came out, but I don't know what is the situation now.
Well, I hear they are top quality, reliable, but I don't own one, haven't shot one. I'm more of a Glock guy, they always just seem to work for me, But the Sig, S&W Shield, Springfield XDS, they're all good, they will work well for you too. Probably best to go to a range that will let you try different ones and make your mind up on which is best for you. @@adrianakuzmikova1697
I went a head and bought the both because I couldn't decide which i liked more and also my girlfriend wanted a gun too. After carrying both and shooting both I am slowly leaning towards the shield for two main reasons. 1: larger mag capacity and yes i know I can buy after market stuff for my glock, I bought the plus 1 base plate but that's kind of corny that I have to buy something for it to compete with an out of the box shield. And 2: I am finding that the shield is more comfortable in appendix carry than the glock 43 due to the glocks grip angle sticking into my belly slightly where the shield does not. This i found interesting as i could not find anyone who mentions this when comparing the two. Both are good guns but the shield feels like a little gun with big gun feel and features, that to me is a good thing. The glock feels like you'd expect a gun that size to feel. I'll probably end up letting my girl hold onto the 43 for me as she seems to like it anyways. But in the mean time They are both mine for further evaluation! =P
AND YOU GIVE HEAD, I HEARD FROM YOUR LIVE-IN BF.
Good stuff , great opinion
Great reviews! Thanks for being objective. I love my Shield 2.0, improved trigger.
nice editing, the explanation while shooting was awesome.
The glock is too big for pocket carry and too small for me to justify iwb bc I can carry a much bigger gun comfortably iwb.
Really think the shield is better but I like glock as a company. You can't deny that glock makes great guns but they're not as innovative as they once were.
+Alex Morrison That's why I'm going with the G26.
+Johnny Reb If I'm being honest I shoot the 9mm better than the .40 cal.
+TTplinker 40sw is a bastard round. I took a few forensic ballistics courses in college and the perniciousness of a .40 is nearly identical to a 9mm in hollowpoints using the same technology.
+Alex Morrison After watching some high-speed video tests I kind of thought the same thing. From what I saw one could argue that .45acp is almost the same as well. The numbers may not say that but visually the performance looked the same.
I carry my 42/43 every day. I live in philly and the 43 is perfect for carrying in a hoodie.
I own a shield and I've shot the glock as well. I honestly think the shield is a better gun. It has less felt recoil, a better grip, it's a lot cheaper, and his has been around longer so the gun is a proven firearm.
Nice review. It looks like I will be needing that S&W lifetime warranty. The recoil spring assembly on my Shield broke at around 500 rounds. I've been waiting for a replacement from S&W for some time now and I can't seem to find one anywhere else. Fortunately have a Glock as backup! : )
Love your reviews. I personally owned both of these as well, and I prefer the glock for a couple of reasons. First is that I like the glock trigger better, second, and more important is that for my hand, I do not like the way the Shield grip tapers so much towards the trigger side. For me it just feels narrow when I am shooting it and bothers my fingers that are gripped around it. My son on the other hand has no problem with it so after a month of having it, I gave it to him, along with paying for his CCW class, on his 21st Birthday!
Just got the shield today and my brother had the glock I let him shoot the shield he went and traded his glock for the shield lol
No he didnt.
I can tel your lying no one does that if anything it was the other way around.
I have both, but i carry the SHIELD, just prefference .
@@813GC the only reason why they may not is price difference. Glocks are OVER PRICED.
@@813GC you’re slow
Having had the Glock 43 for a year now I can say I officially hate it. I feel like I have little to no control over it because I can never get a grip on the damn thing. I have smaller hands too. I'm picking up a M&P Shield this weekend and selling my Glock.
npsantini you'll love the shield. It's a dream to shoot
npsantini Did you get a Shield? If so, what are your thoughts in comparison to the Glock?
Brandon Morton Yes, I got the shield and love it! To me the shield feels better in the hand and is easier control meaning it feels less snappy than the Glock did. Also, the trigger on the Glock used to really hurt my finger and the Shield smooth.
I shoot way more accurately with the shield. I'm pretty sure switching to the shield was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
That's great to hear! Thanks for the info.
npsantini I have both, I like em both for different reasons Shield is snappier, Glock trigger is better, Shields grip is better, etc I couldnt hate either of these guns
I own the Shield in 9mm and 45. I have a Glock 19 as a duty gun but I picked the Shield as my EDC. Super thin, comfortable and reliable. I like Glock but I'll pick the Shield all day long. That extra round capacily can make all the difference in the world.
I genuinely appreciate your opinion. Thank you for he great videos!
M&P shield ftw!
I don't care what people thing I just simply like glocks, they've always just worked for me, I'm not a fan boy but when I carry I just want a gun that's 100% going to work,
both guns are amazing guns here but I prefer the glock but maybe you'll like the m&p more, everyone's different
Glocks aren't anymore reliable than most other semi-auto guns on the market today. If your sole reason for them is reliability, then why don't you carry a revolver? I don't have a problem with Glocks, I'm just confused as to why their owners think they are the most reliable guns ever.
TheRealMcCoy I've carried the Glock 23, as well as the Sig P229, on duty for many years. I would not trust my life with a S&W when Glock, FN, and Sig are available.
Swiss Watch Craze None of those Guns you listed are more reliable than the M&Ps
TheRealMcCoy it’s more reliable then people say
I think it's time the gun community ditches the word "reliable" because that word has become so oversaturated.
Very good comparison. I'm a glock fan, but cant see myself spending that much on the 43 when I have a 26. Shield has been on my mind.
Nice concise review in less than 15 minutes. Outstanding!
