My original Shield has been ok---no failures and accurate enough----my new Shield Plus is on another level with a way better trigger and almost double capacity. Along with my M&P compacts my Glocks have been basically retired but I'm still keeping them.
Here's my breakdown on getting the Shield Plus:
Remembering the HS2000 at $300 when they slapped the XD name on it and almost doubled the price---nope you lost me for good there.
I've just never have good experiences with Sig---so they're out
That brought it down to Glock and S&W-----I did like the 43X but not going to depend on the aftermarket to get the capacity that it should have anyway----so Shield it is.
Did look at the Taurus and Ruger offerings--the Taurus was ok but the bad rep and similar price to the S&W---I'll go Smith.
The Rugers are just weird and ugly---and I'm a Ruger fan.
I didn't like S&W products for the longest time going back to the eighties but they have slowly wormed their way into my graces.
