Shield in .45ACP announced

[TTSkipper]

I found my next gun. Compares very well in size and weight to the XD-S.

If they lose the manual safety, I'm in.

[Helmup]

I still feel that it is superfluous on a dao carry gun.
I hope Smith & Wesson is listening.

[DML2012]

It is being offered without the safety.

[Helmup]

Cool 😀👍

That stippling on the grip looks nice. This thing is going to be fun to shoot at only 20.5 oz. Same capacity as the one I have in .40.
I'm all in!

[John060404]

Things that make you go hmmmmm...

[DML2012]

The grip looks really good.

[ChiefSailer]

Fuck. Now I've go to buy another gun.

[SlowTime]

I like the new texture. But doubt I'm buying that in 45, didn't care for my XDS in 45.

I truly am not trying to start a war, but since it is a striker fired gun, with a similar price, thoughts on the Shield vs. Glock in this .45 ACP? I have not purchased anything but Sigs for a long time (I am completely addicted) but I have to feed the beast. Either a micro 9mm Sig P938 (I realize that has nothing to do with a .45) but I do not own a .45, and I do not own a Glock. I do have .380's, 9mm's, .357 Mag's, 357 Sig's, and .40 S&W. Thoughts?

[Pitbull428]

I can forgive for not owning a Glock but not owning any handguns in the fabulous 45acp?? Totally unacceptable I hope you reverse this trend soon and invest in something chambered in 45 acp (several in fact) . For carry size check out the Glock 30, 36, and the M&P 45 c . Sig makes magnificent 45's..And of course...the world of 1911's awaits you. And while not striker fired but no less worthy of consideration and my personal favorite the HK45 compact!

[MSA77]

Believe me I know that I am missing out big time. The first handgun I ever fired was a 1911, which was owned by my father's extremely cool friend. He took me shooting upstate NY. My dickhead father told him to keep me to the .22's, which I was already doing competition in. The guy didn't listen to dad. I had a Kimber in my hand, and my LGS told me to hold off, Kimber had a change in management, and QC was down. I didn't want the Sig, I wanted a Kimber, Dan Wesson, maybe Wilson Combat. I am pissed that I don't have one, and this was a wake-up call. Thanks for your post!

[Pitbull428]

Kimber scares me...everyone I ever hear talk about them has problems and has to send them back for tweaking or corrections. I love Dan Wesson! Was my first 1911.

[Paté]

Oh hell yeah!

[xcentrk]

Great.... add another one to the list.

I just picked up a Springfield XD mod.2 in 45. Looks to be about the same dimensions, but of course I will need this as well.

[ChiefSailer]

Ummmmm Group Buy?

[imrich]

Very nice. I wish I had my permit. I was looking at the Springfield XDM compact when it arrives. But that looks very nice too. Well, I have plenty of time to think it over.

[mossy930spx]

I came. It was awesome.

[Huntington Guy]

No man safety and I'm in. Going to be a snappy little thing.

[Helmup]

Low recoil 45 Ammo can make a difference, provided it cycles properly.

[Paté]

Placed my order.
