I rented a shield and a G43 before I bought. I really didn't care for the way the shield shot it felt top heavy to me. I purchased a G43 shortly after and I am happy with the gun. Shoots well for me.
I have a LNIB Gen 2 Sub 2000 Glock 17 version (9mm) for sale. I have added a hogue grip to the pistol grip and talon rubber grips on the front of the fore end. It also has the buffer tube rubber cover. Comes with a Magpul 17 round magazine. Has been shot maybe 50 rounds that would be on the high...
Just make sure to bring a extra set of glasses and ear protection to put on her stomach. All kidding aside my wife had two kids and both times I would not let her shoot lead issues. In my opinion I would not want to take a chance but that's me. Now we all shoot as a family.
I have not seen a 0850 like knife in the kershaw line up. I will have a ZT 0850 at some point in my life. I know once they get discontinued stores put them on sale etc.
