Thought it was time to refresh my satisfaction of my Shield 45 with Apex sear
I have had the gun now several months, I have probably 350+ rounds through it and most of them my reloads of 230, 200 and 185gr bullets with all kinds of powders. Other than the fact that bullet seating depth is critical for this barrel to properly chamber the rounds the gun has been accurate with anything I put through it. I honestly shoot it better than I was shooting my full size E Series 1911.
The trigger has settled in at a very pleasant and no-creep crisp 4lbs. I have not had any problems with slide functions or mag functions. I never really intended on a 3.3in bbl to become one of my favorite 25-50ft target guns but it has. The simple 3-dot contrast sights work well at my indoor ranage too and it is poorly lighted.
I had the Sig 320 and Walther PPQ M2, both known for nice factory triggers, well my Apex Smith is still tops!
Thanks Smith & Wesson for the nice little thrill that this Shield offers in shooting enjoyment in a compact 45!
