Anyone been to the Reloaders Bench in Mt Juliet? Last time I was there, it looked like they were going out of business because their shelves were so bare. I heard that they changed ownership too. It used to be a go to of mine. Then I moved further south.

So I've been looking to buy a second shield because 2 is one and I carry my original shield 9mm everywhere (including on long runs in the rain). I loved that it was cheap, light, and reliable. It helps that I shoot it very well. Now I'm eyeing the shield plus but hesitating because they changed the trigger and cause I think they are still a bit too pricey ($400) for a gun im going to beat the tar out of. Do I buy an old original shield or go for the plus? Is it really better than my old $250 shield? Does anyone own and shoot both? Thoughts? Update 7-21-25 Academy had the shield plus for $350 plus tax and transfer fee. I got 4x fuel points on gift cards so another $49 off. Pretty good deal. I shoot the shield plus about as well as the original. No reservations yet. Update again after about 1000 rounds.
