The comment about index finger position is spot on. But I've handled pistols with FAR worse triggers than this. It's not a tuned SA trigger, or even a Glock. In fact, I found it to be very smooth through its initial long takeup, and felt that it stacked quite predictably, allowing me a nice short squeeze to fire. I need to put a few hundred rounds through the pistol before I will feel confident that the problem I had was caused by me cleaning the gun, and not by a defect. I put 7 mags through it without any failures. I reached in and 'jiggled' the disconnecter button a bit, and the problem went away. When I put it back together the trigger would not move - even though the magazine was fully inserted. I got my new LC380, field stripped it, cleaned up all the grease, and did a Frog Lube heat treatment. I almost bought it too, but wondered why I really needed two guns the same size? So, can anyone "talk me down" from wanting the Shield now? I have the cash, so its only a matter of a) should I own only the LC380 for family practice AND carry, or b) add the Shield for my own personal use and carry, while the LC380 sits on a shelf between target practice and plinking with my boy? Or maybe I should just have a gun in the glove box of each car (kidding!).Īgh! Why did I have to become a gun fanatic - in the same year 'gunphobia' began running rampant? I just looked at and handled a Shield(40S&W) and simply loved how it felt in my hand next to and compared to my Ruger. The LC is slim and light-but-sturdy and I plan to let my wife and 12 year-old son practice with it and also make it my carry gun - at least for the shorts and T-shirt months. My Sig239 (bought sight-unseen - great gun, great deal, too heavy to carry for my tastes) weighs a ton. I REALLY like the size and weight for general carry (I am a civilian). Can't fire it b/c I have no ammo in that caliber - wonderful.
