Pick one of these two 9mm pistols

[druryj]

My bad didn't see the only one of two. I have heard people rave about the Shield so that is what I would recommend.

Okay, soup's on. T'ank you.

 

[druryj]

the 19 is a better gun

Is this your opinion or you got some facts? Gimme info; please.

I'm a Shield guy got both but I Carry the Shield all the time and love it.

I am a woman and have trouble pulling the slides back. How are these guns on pulling the slide back?

They are both fine. The problem is not the slides ... The problem is you (no offense). I have a pretty significant neck injury and carpal tunnel injuries and can still rack the slide on all my guns.

Try this with an UNLOADED gun:

Hold the gun in your strong hand, put your weak hand on the slide like you are gonna rack it. (Nevermind if you can't right now -- that's not the point of this exercise.) Now grip the gun firmly and PUSH away from you with your strong hand and PULL toward you with your weak hand. Again, nevermind if you can't actually perform a rack right now. Do this 10 times a couple times a day. The idea is build up the muscles so you will be able to do it.

Also, no matter how difficult you find racking the slide don't let someone else do it for you. It'll come to you fairly quickly, I promise. You just need a little more strength in your grip, arms and shoulders, that's all ...

Good advice BB.

Argyle Armoring can help you with that Glock trigger.




Sorry, I had to do it.

I've owned Glock's on an off for over 20yrs, plus I've owned a lot of other pistols. Right now all I have for a Glock is a 3rd Gen G17 that I shoot in competition, so I would feel comfortable carrying an shooting the 19. My only issue with the 19/23 is I have wide hands, so with that little bit off the grip of the Glock is enough, if I'm not paying attention, to where I will sometimes roll flesh into the magwell on a mag change. Some times it just tears off a chunk, or it makes a pretty blood blister. That still wouldn't stop me from picking the Glock over the M&P.

Shield is my vote.

What is the intended use of the pistol? You can't expect me to make a decision based on no information.
