I just spent a week trying out my buddies .40 shield.
Fired about only about 75 rounds. 25 self defense type with no problem and then about 50 Federal white box 165gr.
Summary - shoots great. About the same recoil and flip as my 9mm. But I did get one FTF on the federal range ammo. The slide was extremely stiff and I had to rack it for my wife who is no wimp. And the it was also a wrestling match getting the mags loaded.
So other than needing more time to break it in, and one FTF, I liked it. Comfortable in the hand and to wear.
