Default Shield me from evil....

For summer I decided to get a new carry piece. The heat and humidity of S.Florida along with body sweat and oils, has worn the bluing of my current EDC.....STI Escort. It's showing a little bit of surface rust and that is not good, it'll have to be refinished. Anyway, I decided to go plastic and chose the S&W Shield 9. SO, say hello to my little friend! !!



















I decided to upgrade the sights to Ameriglow night sights with orange front tridium and blacked out rear with tridium inserts. These make for an ultra fast acquisition and a nice 3 dot view in the dark.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

It has been my favorite carry for over a year now. It fires any ammo I feed it without one hiccup.
