    I got a .45 Smith and Wesson shield honestly because of the power for its compact and slim size, which allows me to more effectively conceal that beauty.

    Like a fricking man child eating microwaveable food on his bed while playing with his toys lol. Like that old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words lol.

    All jokes aside that’s a good gun man but “power” in a handgun is not a real thing. With today’s bullet technology and modern advancements 9mm, .40s&w, .45acp, 357sig and so on are all going to do the same thing. This is why 9mm is so loved. It’s cheap, plentiful, and will get the job done equally to any other duty style caliber.

    Agree that 9mm is carry of choice now. That shield .45 does have a possible interesting future: get a threaded barrel and nice can and it is a quiet home defense gun. .45 is easy to suppress because all rounds are subsonic.

    Always good to be versatile and have a .45 around, and that was an inexpensive way to get it done.

    Congrats to OP.
