Super Wrangler - saw one Saturday at a gun show. The original Wrangler does
NOT use the mag cylinder... So you'd have to buy a new gun, but since
when was that a bad thing? :-)

Looked up the serial number, and it was manufactured during the
"10 round max" period.

I looked again at the show at a Shield Plus... Bought my wife
an LCP Max to replace her LCP II, for the extra rounds, and she
wants to upgrade my EDC as well. The thing that jumped out at
me on the Shield Plus is the 'normal' sights - I'd like to 
upgrade to something nicer. The max has tritium.

Yes, I can upgrade the sights myself, but looking at maybe a
Performance Center model instead, but nothing decided yet. My wife
has a Sig P365 as well, and I like it too...

You mentioned carrying a .45. She has a 1911 clone she inherited
(I think it's a Springfield) and I bought her some IMOP grips
to replace the hogue - she likes it now. :-)

YES - very much so!
