This oft-overlooked pistol is a fan favorite for those who know what they have. The S&W Shield was released in 2012, and the world lost its mind. Seriously, I remember people paying way above MSRP to get an original Shield. It was the single stack 9mm that everyone needed and loved. For some reason,...
