I love revolvers for their ease of use and and easy conceal-ability with a powerful round to back it up, but reloading becomes a serious issue and how to carry extra rounds. Things to consider I myself carry a subcompact .45 dao pistol with the low round count I would trade it for a .357 snubbie any day of the week.

Good luck on finding a Shield. You'll probably have better luck finding the Loch Ness monster or Atlantis.

Lowpriceguns in Bellevue had a shield9 the other day. I'm going there this after noon to pickup my m&p9c. Tough decision there. After holding both, I liked the c better for the interchangeability with FS mags.

I wouldn't even look in the direction of a S&W Auto, let alone carry one. Hands down the Sig over the Ruger. To each their own. You can't go wrong with the Ruger or the Sig.

You really need to shoot them yourself. I have 9 shield and I wish I had shot other guns. It's okay. The trigger feels different than other 9s, maybe I just need to get used to it.
But it does conceal nice.

I have the P238, LCP and LCR (.38) - all great choices. The P238 is the most fun to shoot, the LCr is the one I hope I am carrying if I ever need it.

Sig P238 for my wife and A Ruger SR9C for me. I used the sig on a recent trip to Spokane and actually forgot it was on me! No failures on either one so far!

Got the Shield 9 and have it loaded with Liberty Ammo.
Only thing that I needed to upgrade was the trigger. Added the Apex kit and now it shoots much better.

Get the one that feels the most comfortable in your hand and you feel comfortable shooting. Even if it's a full size 1911. Worry about how you are gonna hide it later. I learned it's better to get the gun I feel the best with and dress around it. Even if it means having change up your wardrobe. Better to be confident with protecting your life than saving a few bucks on some new clothes.
