Got a shield 45 about 3 years ago.At first, I did have an issue with one of the mags backing out some but it still cycled. S&W sent some new followers, easy fix and problem solved. I have put 750 rounds through it with various fmj and jhp without any problems. In fact, it shoots soft, is very accurate with great fit and finish for what it is. I would get another in a heartbeat.
