Opinions on the Shield 45?

[Pops1911]

I seriously considered a Shield in .45. Love the .45acp round. However I could not square in my mind already owning a Shield in 9 that I shoot very well and another Shield in a larger caliber. Ended up going with a CZ 75Dpcr. Its a shooter too and remarkably comfortable to carry being a full metal firearm. I think it all boils down to what you want and what you are willing to afford. In the right hands both Shields are wonderful carry pieces. Right now I am comforted by 14+1 124gr jhp goodness on my hip. Other opinions may vary.

Late to the party again! I do own a Shield in 45, but it has the Safety (the safety is easy to use compared to some) It shoots accurately. while not unpleasant, I think my XDS 45 is softer. The biggie for the Shield, to me is the extra round in the flush magazine, easy to carry AIWB. I can't pocket carry the Shield like I can the XDS

Oh and the Shield is definitely better looking than a XDS.
