Held a Smith & Wesson Shield in 9mm today at Vances... Damn did it feel good!! (Compaired to the LC9, PF9, P11, P9 and P40)
I wanted to get one of the Kel-Tecs in 9mm because you can by .22 conversions for them for cheap fun on the range and plunking around.
Kel-Tec P11 $269
T.I .22 conv $199
=~$470 for one gun, two calibers.
Smith & Wesson Shield = $370-$440 for 9mm or .40
Depends on what else you want to do with it I guess
