we've talked about this before, the shield i've been edc-ing for what...10 years, had to be retired because the gun was just too much for me to rack the slide. i toted it every day, all day since i got it, back in the day when it was the newest and meanest kid on the block. waited 6 months on a waiting list too. i had paired it with a concealment express kydex iwb holster. lou at business end customs did a sweet trigger for it. gave it a crisp 4#'s and i shot the thing well. while waiting for cataract surgery i put a set of more visible sights on it so i could see 'em better. funny story about the gun...i was quoted a price of $289 when i inquired back in the day what they might be selling for. i put the deposit down on $289 thinking that was the price. when i got the call they were in and went to pick it up, the final otd price was $429.99. always prepared, i pulled out my copy of the email receipt they sent me confirming my price (289) and the 100 dollar deposit accepted. the receipt said i just owed $189+tax when i picked it up. the store honored the price quote. they cried they didn't know the true price when they sent out the flyer. my attitude, don't quote prices until you know the final price. so a decent deal considering....
i now, went back to my old glock g26 that i was using before the shield. i can work the slide with no problems. i see no reason to change to another gun. i'm done doing that newest, greatest bullshit. the 26 was in the safe and has a galco iwb paired to it. similar to the concealment express. it came from the factory years ago with night sights and they were dead. i took glock up on the offer of replacing them with original glock night sights for 30 bucks a few years ago. glad i did, my eyes still suck. i shoot this equally as well. the only mod was a connector when i first got it. so it's working for me and no money spent for a shield replacement. i can live with this until i'm dust.
