Not to confuse this thread too much....but I was on the hunt for a Shield to compliment my M&P FS...but did some research on the Bersa BP9CC. My LGS had one of each side by side. As I dry fired the Shield, I didn't care for the trigger pull. The Bersa, which I bought, measures out @ 4.25 lbs on the trigger. I'm a S&W guy, but am totally impressed with the Bersa.
