I agree with you big time, I think sometimes we have illusions of grandeur when it comes to defending ourselves like 6 people attacking us at once and us needing 33 rounds & no less. it could happen but ...Fat chance.My thought is, if 7 or 8 rounds wont save me, will 10 or 14? .
Heard a guy on a gun review say something about "I like having the rounds in case a meth head with an ax is trying to kill me". I thought, Hmm, I don't hang out with ax wielding meth heads nor do I frequent their hangouts. I should be good. Most shootings I see on youtube or the television have one thing in common, once the shooting starts, everyone runs, they don't usually stay and fight.I agree with you big time, I think sometimes we have illusions of grandeur when it comes to defending ourselves like 6 people attacking us at once and us needing 33 rounds & no less. it could happen but ...Fat chance.
I keep coming back to it every morning in my safe, and then I strap it on and go. Excellent pistol.The Shield .40 is at the top of my list for next EDC pistol. I look at the others but keep coming back to the Shield.
