The above is the way I should feel, but "reliable" is sort of a relative term- at least at the local level. (Awkward range moment #1: a shooter claims their "X" never malfunctions... after I see them clearing a malfunction.)
The Shield Plus is the only one of the current offerings I have even remotely enjoyed shooting, and "enjoyed" is also a relative term. I can see one replacing my NanX, but frankly, I am about burnt out trying to find a mini-9 I actually like better than a S&W 640.
