hello there 2A sibs!!
I have a Shield 1.0 that was relegated to the safe when the Shield Plus came out which I have been carrying faithfully since I got it.
I'm asking for views what to do with it.l the 1.0.
One option is to trade it in for another S&W M&P Shield Plus OR Bug-Out 9mm 3.1" Barrel 10+1/13+1, end result will be 2 Shield Plus and 8 13 round mags and 2 10 round mags between them.
Another option is to trade it in for a Glock 26, end result is that it'll join the Glock 19 and 2 Glock 17 in the stable.
I just don't feel the relevance of the Shield 1.0 given that the Shield Plus has almost the same measurements, very close.
And yes I realize I will lose some money in the process.
And trade means I can otherwise sell it for a better return and use the proceeds to pursue either option.
Thank you all.

Personally, I would just hang onto it...your trade value will be low, and not worth not having the gun to begin with. So, in the light of that, what did you end up doing?

One thing is for certain, and that is that once you have a good gun, and the Shield I have had for about 5 years now is a good one, you have it. For what you will probably get on a trade in value, you won't be able to replace that good one without spending twice as much.

I, for a period of time, was buying a gun and using it for a while, then trading it off...stupid on my part. If I would have just kept some of them I had, instead of using it to fund something else I "had to have", I would have a large collection of handguns. Obviously I don't do that anymore. They are expensive, as you know, and I wasted a lot of money doing it that way. Plus, I always ended up having "trader's remorse". Just my humble opinion.
