I likewise had Darrell as a PTC instructor back in... 2001? Something like that. Before that, it was an in-house guy for the private security company I worked for in the 80's.

I prefer the XD-s over the Shield because the rear of the slide overhangs the backstrap less, making it easier to extract from the...
