Looking at the Smith and Wesson Shield 9mm as my first gun.
How do you feel about it?
Good first pistol?
Want to spend around 400$ on my first, and this hits the nail on the head for price range and quality. Havent heard many negatives of this handgun.
>>30453435
Glock 43 instead
>>30453435
>>30453442
Rent both, buy the one that feels more comfortable to you.
Both are very solid.
>>30453493
M&P trigger leaves much to be desired. glock 43 take up is pretty mushy but the break is nice.
>>30453435
Have both. Prefer the G43.
Shoot them both, you decide.
Not OP
But should I get a cz (was thinking a 75 or a PCR since sp01's are always out of stock) or a glock 19 for my first handgun?
>>30453544
G17/19 is a solid choice, can't go wrong.
>>30453511
Fair point friend, but again there's no reason to try both. Some people just don't like the feel of glocks.
>>30453582
Then you learn to like it you fucking faggot
>>30453544
If you're considering the g19 have you looked at the P-07?
>>30453582
i dont mind the shield i just prefer the 43, id be ok if i was forced to carry a shield for some reason
>>30453590
kill yourself

Check out the nogunz over here.
>>30453590
Yoroshiku, bitch.
>>30453590
While I can appreciate the rabid Glocklove, there is no significant difference dimensionally or functionally between the two. This truly is a preference choice.
>and yes, kill yourself - you are the one giving us Glock fanboys a bad rep.
>>30453603
I wish you were forced to kys instead
>>30453604
Wrong dipshit. Try again
>>30453657
What does that mean? I don't speak fluent " i fuck my anime body pillow" speak
>>30453714
Cry more bitch.
>>30453435
sig p320 is better but the shield is a good first gun.
>>30453743
Your mom never loved you.
Deal with it.
I'm gonna get a 1911 as my first such a beautiful gun man but everyone bashes stainless
>>30453601
I haven't looked at the P-07 yet, but I'll look into it
>>30453548
Yeah. They shoot pretty well from when I've rented and they're pretty solid choices, its just that imo they're ugly as sin
>>30453728
>i only own one gun and im so insecure i have to rabidly shitpost about it whenever i have the chance
>being this asspained over two guns that are largely the same
>not being able to appreciate more than one gun brand

>its just that imo they're ugly as sin
Are you buying a tool to possibly defend your life, or something to frame and hang on the wall?
>>30453775
this tbqh senpai >>30453794
>>30453794
I would hang it on the wall, but your mom's pictures take up so much space.
>>30453435
I have the .40 shield and the glock 43 and they're both alright. My beef with the shield is it comes in a cardboard box. At least glock give you an $8 plastic case with foam.
>>30453511
>M&P trigger leaves much to be desired.
standard only not the performance center model.
>>30453435
It's fine, but a subcompact isn't going to be the easiest thing for a newbie to shoot, I recommend you start with the M&P Compact or a Glock 19, they're more on the compact side while being easier to shoot.
>>30453511
Can be swapped, personally it doesn't bother me.
>>30453590
Shut your face.
>>30453981
>>30454080
ironic because thats the same argument glock fanboys make about anything wrong with glocks
in reality there is no perfect pistol for anyone. im >>30453603 i dont mind M&P's just prefer glocks
>>30453511
All the time, all these complaints that a 2.9" subcompact carry gun doesn't have a match grade trigger. If I have to shoot someone ever with my shield it's going to be at like 5 feet in the stomach.
Check out the PPS M2.
It's got a better trigger than the shield and the glock, and has less muzzle flip.

There's that, also the possibility of never getting your gun back if you had to use it. I chose a Shield for my EDC because it's a good gun and I can afford to replace it after worst case scenario I almost die and have to use it.
>>30453435
ive had one for about a month now and I like it.
Very small and comfortable to hold. I honestly thought id hate the trigger but I dont. Although I dont have much experience shooting handguns to compare it to.
Id say go for it, depending on where you are you can get it for a bit less than $400, Its also a very popular gun so even if you get it and dont like it you can probably sell it for close to what you paid in the first place.
Shield is cheaper and has higher capacity out of the box. My first handgun is my shield and I do not regret it at all.
That said, the glock 43 is by all accounts great. I don't feel getting a glock would be a bad choice.
>>30453435
>How do you feel about it?
Love mine. It's very enjoyable to shoot for its size. Have yet to install my Apex kit in it.
>Good first pistol?
I would recommend getting something bigger as a first pistol then a Shield for carry.
