Picked up a shield .40 on sunday 070812 and so far this week placed 150 rounds through it. First shots used the 6 magazine and then 7 magazine. Is my first .40 of any kind and only the third time shoting any kind of .40. Really like it. Lovely pistol and fun to shoot. Shot it at 23 and 25 feet. Then did some bowling pin excersises and metal plates at 25 yards. Rounded out the range time with sporting clays on the berm. A really nice pistol. I was to get a 9mm the week before but that deal fell through. The .40 was just a few days later and glad about this one as i had several various nines before.
