Nothing wrong with the S&W Shield. Unless you want a .45ACP then you need to look at Springfield Armory XD.
I've owned a Shield since they came out. It gets carried more than anything. I want the Plus, but S&W has decided I don't need a .40S&W, so I'll have to stick with what I have.I'm looking at getting the S&W Shield Plus with the cut out for optics. Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't?
This ^^^The only thing I'd say you shouldn't do is put a red dot on a carry gun.
