Re: S&W Shield 9mm question
I really like my original model Shield. I would be interested in a PC model if they came out with one that was not ported. In a self defense carry gun, I do not want a ported model. If things got hairy, I do not want the flash or the concern of hot gasses and debris thrown up into my face in a close quarters retention firing. Still, it's a personal choice and nice to have options. She can have the better sights installed on a basic model and the stock trigger is still a nice trigger in my experience. I like the thumb safety also. We ladies like to carry in positions that put more body parts at risk than the standard 3-4:30 popular with the guys so a safety is an important feature to me for reholstering. Just my 2 cents.
