I own a shield all decked out. Apex trigger, tru glo sights, talon rubber grips. Kept changing the trigger and springs to get it just right. Now I'm at about 5.5 lbs. I'm grouping bulls eyes at 10 yards. I have my crossbreed super tuck. This is and will be my edc. I have had every gun known to man as a edc and this by far is the best. Comfortable, concealable, and my 7+1 is more than enough to stop a threat. The m&p compact was a bit too bulky. This shield is the best EDC for me.
