Summer Carry....which would you choose

[bigalf]

It's been done a million times before. My new summer carry will be either a Sheld or Sig 320 subcompact. Both will be in .40 caliber. Thoughts, price isn't a determinING factor. I like the size of the shield but love the the Sig trigger.

 

[Salyeica]

Shield with a good trigger?

 

[Sf Becket]

Diamondback 380

 

[Knob Creek]

I go from my 1911 Comander to my Sig 938.

S&W Shield with trigger job, improved sights & talon grips!

Well I definitely don't want a gun with a safety. So 938 is out and I don't want 380 so diamondback is out. Shield upgrade is actually an idea I hadn't thought about.

G43

Not a big fan of the S&W triggers out of the box. Or the Sig's for that matter but never tried a P320. IMHO, a small framed Sig with an SRT upgrade is ideal, at least for me.

+1 for the G43.

Has to be 40 caliber. Let me know when the G44comes out lol

 

[cfbackrow]

the sig is closer in size to a glock 19 than a glock 43...if that matters to you

 

[NickyBangBang]

G43 here too

 

[familyman15]

-P30sk?
-xdm .40
Personally I dislike .40.

 

[Realtor MA]

Sig

 

[mark056]

The way S&W quality control is going I'd stay away from anything made recently with that marque and this from a hardcore S&W fanboi and stockholder.

 

[ridleyman]

S&W Shield, no safety, great quality gun

Don't know about the Sig 320 but the Shield is the easiest gun I've ever carried. Shorts, T, iwb, not even noticeable to me or anyone else.

For your reading pleasure here is another thread where the topic of Shield vs. xxx is beat to death.

I think I am beginning to see a pattern here...

Go with a Shield, (personally I like the 9mm, less snappy)trigger job, set of HiViz Lightwave sights, MAGGUTS +1 mag upgrade, Talon grips if you're the sweaty type. ;-)

You will then basically have the new Performance Center Shield without the ported barrel, which imho makes no noticeable difference. Or, save yourself the aggravation and just get the PC Shield.

Another suggestion, go to a range like MFS and rent everything you are considering and shoot as much as you can afford. Then make your decision.

Out of those two, I would choose the Sig every time.

My personal experience with Shields has been negative, whereas my personal experience with Sigs has never been negative.

YMMV.

Love my shield. Trigger job by Dave Santurri in North Attleboro. Small enough and very comfortable.

i had a shield 40, super easy to carry in t shirt and shorts in Elite Survival holster. thats about all i can add

 

[GlockJock]

G43 also.

 

[CTpatriot]

cm40 with a spare 7 round mag and Crimson Trace laser

 

[Bdh821]

G43, Shield 9, or M&P BG380.. depends on where I'm going...

 

[chris_1001]

G43 and G42 here and also a Secamp for Speedo carry

 

[moonpup]

Why does Walther never get any love? I vote PPS classic/m2

 

[Strawdog]

Stick with major caliber go with a G-36. Personally it feels better in my hand than the G-30. If you are stuck on .40 ... I think someone out there makes a kit to convert Glock 10mm's to .40S&W. Have you looked at the Ruger line up?

 

[Glockfan71]

I swap between a Shield 9mm and my S&W 642.

Didn't I see you selling one in the classifieds?

I like my shield, but given the choice, Sig 320 carry every day and twice on Fridays.
