My sister is in the market for a handgun. I tried to sell her on one of the smaller glocks (G42, or even the G43...with preference to the G26). She isn't happy with the lack of a true safety.

My BIL has a G23, and her FIL has the same as me, G27, and she has shot both, so the .40 isn't a bad gun for her.

She recently went to a local gun store and really liked the shield in 9mm, and asked me about them. I know next to nothing about them, and figured I'd ask in here.

What's the good and bad on them?

I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!
