Unlike the Corpral, ;-) I’ve enjoyed shooting the Shield—indeed, I was surprised by how much I liked it. That said, I was raised by a Ruger wheel gun fan, and so #3 is attractive. But...it’s a concealed carry choice, not a beauty pageant. And given the likelihoods, probabilities, possibilities and chances that go along with the use of a CCW firearm, for me it’s the Shield every time. It’s more similar to what I now carry, I’ve got some positive experience with it, I can reload it much faster than the others, it’s easier to carry concealed.... A side note: .44 Spl Rossi? If I were open-carrying, and wanted something to prompt interesting conversations,...maybe. But CC? Lemme think a moment. No.
