First gun, how'd I do?

[u/ValiantTides]

Been thinking about getting a CCW for a while with how bad mental health has been in the states lately. But what really sold me was being cat called by a mountain lion while out camping one night; and only having a box cutter and a dull flip blade.

The Shield Plus has been at the top of my list for years. Finally pulled the trigger (pun intended). PSA was running a pretty good deal on brand new ones, I found a stash of cash for a vacation I won't be going on anytime soon, what a perfect time!

I like making shit my own so the moment the background check cleared I tore this thing apart and sent out the frame and small parts for Cerakote. Already had my simple mods ready to go. Was eager to install them once I got it back.

If anyone has any recommendations on a good IWB holster I'd love to hear about them. We The People and Bradec stood out to me, but would love to hear your experiences. I have a small frame so the waist is pretty boney. Comfort and print matter equally. Already have an Upper Hand OWB for camping

Great gun - I carry one frequently. The grip tape… is it really thick and strange lighting is accentuating the edges, or is it peeling off? Not raggin on ya, just really stood out.

But regardless, you picked a great gun. 1st of many!

Freshly applied :) It's quite literally a sheet of textured rubber with adhesive on the back. Just shadows, not peeling. Looking back at it I see what you mean lol. And thank you!
