If anyone else can relate some first hand experience with their Shield, I'd appreciate it.
Picked mine up this morning. It was even nicer than I expected. The grip is incredible, ergonomics are unrivaled in the slim 9mm category (and I have several of them). It's hard to describe but it feels like an ultra-thin Browning Hi-Power to me. And to my surprise I like it even more than my 908. The trigger is excellent with a very clean break. Reset is as described, very distinct. Fit and finish is top notch i.e. typical S&W. I could ramble on and on about how enamored I am with this gun but I will digress. I didn't have time to really put it through its paces today, but reliability was 100% and it shoots to POA. Recoil/muzzle flip is very manageable, almost soft for a gun this thin and light. After a thorough breaking in this gun will no doubt be my BUG and summer off duty carry piece. I already have a spot picked out in the safe for my Ruger LC9.
