Depends on where you're gonna have it located. I have my rifles in a gun safe while pistols are spread out around in smaller safes that are secured with security cables. I'd only get a cabinet to use for ammo storage. They're just not secure enough for any firearm. And if you're gonna put a big safe in a garage or 1st floor location, make sure to have it bolted to the floor so that they can't be stolen easily
No worries. You'd be trading in your current pistol for the new one. I posted a video a few posts up that discusses the Shield Plus specs and details
Think bout how the trigger feels when it breaks. My Apex trigger on my G48 felt almost exactly the same with how it breaks.
This reminds me. I was looking at getting Samson Field Survivor kits that mount inside Hogue grips for AR15 & AKMYeah, you may go through tons of gear before you settle on things. I ran Surefire Scout lights on my rifles until I saw the light of Modlite. I run Surefire on my Glock and shotgun. It just depends. You also have to think about your own practical application and expected use. As far as range gear/tools, I don't take much. appropriate wrenches for my rifles and a multitool and some lube. I do this with my rifles too.
Small bit of lube, spare batteries for my optic and light, allen wrench to remove optic, small copies of my tax stamps for that rifle, and my old multitool. I do keep a pocket cleaning tool with cleaning rods for the suppressors because they crud up quick. But honestly, your tool collection will build itself based on the products you have and need.
I'm glad you said it, nobody listen to me 'round here
Wait, so the Shield Plus isn't single stack only? Because that's what initially turned me away from Shield, they were all single stack & low capacity. Same with G43
Same here. Thinking a 24-36 gun in one location, then a couple 6-12 gun safes around house & barn
The Shield Plus was released this year & is in the same class as the P365s & Hellcats where they are considered 1.5 stack. The OG Shields are single stack. Easiest way to identify which model is which at a quick glance is the flat faced trigger on the new Shield Plus vs the hinged trigger used by the OG.
There are 2 barrel sizes for the Shield Plus (3.1 for standard or optic cut and 4" for the Performance Center model). I have the shorter one as I already have a G48 and was looking to replace my P365. For me the trigger is much better than the P365 with a more defined wall and less creep. Add in the fact that the one I copped was optic cut and the P365 wasn't made it an even better option.

Look at Ruger Precision Rifles. They can be had in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor.
For long range, the argument is always going to come down to the .300 WinMag or 7mm mag.
Good price. When I got mine, C&H Precision hadn't come out with an optic plate for Holosun or RMR red dots yet. I'm not sure if they have them now but I had the rear stubs shaved off and the front stubs filed down a lil so that my optic could fit flush. That voided my warranty but if you're not in a rush to get a red dot then you won't have to worry about that. The Holosun 407k/507k and Trijicon RMRcc are the best red dots you can get for a micro pistol. They both use the same adapter template as well. All the other micro pistol red dots are meh at best.S&W Shield Plus 9mm optic ready $480
I totally agree. I bought a .270 to hunt Deer on down, and .300 WinMag for anything larger. I don't plan on shooting anything past 400 yards (even though the rifle can shoot a lot farther), so I bought a Leupold 6-9x...
I know of at least 3 guys in my NAAGA chapter who shoot 6.5 Creedmoor. Another guy has 6mm ARC & another has 300 Win. I'm the only one shooting 224 Valkyrie. So far I've shot at a further distance (550 yards) than 2 of them. I'm looking forward to when we all go to the range together to see who can shoot the furthest. On paper they should beat me cuz they're shooting a heavier round with the exception of 6mm ARC.
I'm not sure which one can go the furthest. But to me, it'll be about distance, accuracy, and "energy" down range.
6.5 Creedmoor is the flatter shooter & goes further. That's why it's so popular for precision shooting but 308 has a lil more punch so it's preferred over 6.5 for hunting
How's the in hand feel?

For me it's good. It has a more natural grip angle as opposed to the aggressive angle and hump that Glocks use. You can swap out the backstraps so it can fill your hand more as well. I'd probably put it on par with the feel of the new M&P 2.0 pistols (the ones with the flat faced triggers). The Walter PDP has the best ergonomic feeling grip to me followed by the HK VP9/P30.
. The gritty feel is my biggest issue. In any event, I have an Apex in bound...
