I have no doubt that the Shield will hold up quite well. I bought my Shield 9mm as a backup and off-duty during warmer weather. I've carried it all summer and qualified with it on my Department's qualification course. I scored 100% with it on our 25 round course using GDHP125gr. +p using only A-zone hits as scores on an IPSC target. I've shot it a lot now, and see no signs of wear. I also have a Ruger LC9 and have compared them closely. The LC9 does not appear to be as sturdy and well-made as the Shield. The Shield just feels more substantial in my hand. It's a keeper.
