I've had a Shield for several years. I love

the ergonomics of it. And it has never once had any feeding issues. That said, there are several new to the market higher capacity models to choose from. But almost all new models have some issues before the bugs get worked out. Even top manufacturers like Sig. Don't want to rile up the fan boys but I never have and never will own a Glock. They are all too blocky and their grip angle is lousy. The shield grip angle is natural, like a 1911.

Those 365s are pretty small, but they shoot like a larger pistol. -- EDGEMAN 01/30/2022 6:40PM
