1. I wonder if I should get one and sell my Ruger LC9; I know that the Ruger is smaller, but the Smith name for about the same money is why I bought the 642 and sold my Charter Arms 38.
2. I could go back and read my threads where guys commented on that: Ruger acceptable (Taurus not so much), but Shield recommended.
3. There is one for $280 with holster and maybe ammo either here or Armslist.
There was a Shield for $280 in the classifieds here, but last I looked it was marked as SPF, which is Sold Pending Funds. Buying a new one from PSA will cost $275 plus whatever your dealer charges for transfer fees. My hesitation in buying a Shield is because I already have a Ruger LC9S and don't really need another subcompact gun. I WANT another one, but I don't NEED another one
