I recently traded my .40 shield for a new Walther CCP and love it. Granted, it is a 9mm, but it shoots such a tight group and fits in my hand much better. I purchased one for my wife and put 50 rounds through it myself. I still have and love my f/s M&P .40 which I enjoy shooting often, but the CCP is a much smoother shooting weapon than my shield. Nothing bad to say about the shield, but I am happier with the CCP.
