On today's episode of guns from the back of the safe....

I have basically forgotten about my S&W M&P .40 S&W Shield. I got it before GLOCK released the G42 and G43. So yeah, it's been a while in my stable of single stacks. But ever since I got the two Austrian designed plastic fantastics, the Shield just kind of fell by the wayside and I'm a huge .40 S&W fan. But the GLOCKs are just that good.



It was even pushed further back when I got my SIG P239 and S&W Model 4040PD in .40 S&W.



My 4040PD is honestly my favorite .40 S&W chambered CCW piece.





It really is a great little gun and since then, the Shield has just been sitting deep in the back recesses of the safe in its zippered case, lonely and forgotten. The 4040PD is like the last born kid in the family that gets all the attention and the middle kid is just forgotten. I just like everything about it.

Well, I took the Shield out today for a quick spin and I forgot how good of a gun it is. Sure, it doesn't have the replacement triggers made by folks like Apex. But man, this is a good little gun. It carries well, is capable and controllable. Its bite is as bad as its bark. It has no problem throwing a 180gr JHP with authority. Honestly, it is a good little gun. Maybe I will invest in a upgraded for it.

Who else has a gun like this? Something that you just kind of forgot about and pushed to the back of the safe?

I havent really forgotten about it, but I seldom shoot my M19 snub, so it has kinda gotten shuffled to the back of the safe. Its in immaculate condition, and not that much fun to shoot anyway. I mostly got it because I think its one of the best looking revolvers ever and I just like to oogle it sometimes when Im alone, in the dark, sofly muttering something about "my precioussssssss"............
