    I'm thinking about taking one of the intro pistol classes soon. I'd like to shoot it with a s&w shield since I carry it a lot. Will a compact pistol be a liability in class? If so, I'll shoot the 1911...

    Also, If I do that I need an OWB holster. Any favorites for a shield?

    I’ve been in several where folks had shields, XDS and g43s. Most all do fine but you’ll be reloading a lot more than other people with 15 and 17 round mags.

    Having more than 3 mags would help you out with that.

    Any quality OWB Kydex holster. Will Silk (SCK Holsters) on here makes some good ones. Safariland makes some good holsters as well. not sure if they make one for the shield or not.
