I have been on a waiting list from my LGS for a Shield for over a year now. Actually, I forgot I was on the list. In the meantime I had purchased a KelTec PF9.
When I got the call about the Shield I took a look at it and bought it.
My comparison of the Shield and the PF9 are the same as what I have read other places on this forum. The Shield is just a hair bigger, and just a little heavier. The PF9 was never fun to shoot, it is very snappy and has a very uncomfortable trigger. The Shield on the other hand is a joy to shoot.
However, I didn't buy either gun to be a range shooter, I bought them to be a self defense weapon. The truth of the matter is that the PF9 NEVER failed to go bang when I pulled the trigger, and I'm sure that it was fine for what I purchased it for.
I guess I'm feeling guilty because I read so many negative comments by internet warriors about the PF9 that it put doubt in my mind and therefore I bought the Shield when the opportunity presented itself.
Somehow I just feel more confident in the Shield, even though the KelTec was flawless in it's performance.
On the plus side, now I own both !!
