    I was sitting here browsing the gunbroker website and one of my friends is a ffl so he has stuff listed all the time. Looking around I noticed he had a smith and wesson shield 9mm, been looking at getting one for a little while. So I put a bid in kind of impulsively and ended up winning. So apparently I'm a new owner of a M&P shield. Being as this is Illinois it'll be at shortest time Wednesday before I get my hands on it but probably next weekend seeing as he's a otr trucker.

    So just out of curiosity to all the people saying I'll like it, which I don't doubt, any of you have one? Been looking for a good holster and can't decide. Been looking at comp tac but idk.

    I bought that exact same gun a couple weeks ago, it's a sweet little gun. I got a Foxx IWB holster to conceal carry, and no complaints there. I haven't had a single misfire or jam in it yet, and I'm shooting cheap ($70 for 250 rounds) bullets.
