Welcome from NC! I have purchased a 9mm Shield myself but have yet to shoot it! I am waiting on my permit to go through. The gun shop owner is a friend of my father-in-law. I went ahead and paid for it and he has it in his safe waiting for me to come through with the paper work. Can't wait to shoot it. Hope you enjoy yours! I am looking at getting a Foxx Leather brand holster. Check them out. Price is right.

I just got a Shield 9 a few months ago. Love it. It's in my CCW rotation, along with my PPK/S.

CONGRATS on the new Shield.. LOVE mine For Holsters also check out Jel Tech, for 25$ a GREAT deal and Very Well Made, I have 2,my son has 2 and I got 4 for the guys at the shop. several people here also have one. John is great to deal with
JelTecHolsters – Budget Minded Products
Also look at TALON grip Tape. IMO a way better feel to the grip then stock and 17$ a cheap try
TALON Grips for Glock, XD, XDM, Kahr, Ruger and Kel-Tec Pistols. Free Shipping!
I see you also checked out alien Gear, They do have a good 2fer deal!

Gunny, The Talons give a fit that keeps your hand from sliding, Very firm but you do not really feel any thinness added !
The Key on install is wipe the grip with alcohol (pads included) I also wipe them a few time more with alcohol I had in medicine cabinet! Let dry. Test fit grip with backing on to get a feel for it! Pull backing off a small amount, line up to the lines in the stock grip, let glue grab but DO NOT press down hard as you can re adjust after tape installed. adjust and when all is in place take a hair dryer and heat the tape to hot to touch. not blister hot,keep dryer moving. let cool heat again that sets the glue! FYI also easy to remove if you do not like them ! I also recommend you buy extra tape strips for the 8 round mags, Keeps the spacer from sliding around ! Hope I did not confuse you , FYI You Tube and Talon have install videos and it is not as hard as it sounds
