My first trip to the range with my Shield I took all the partial boxes of 9mm I had laying around, ranging from Win White Box to some odd-ball 25 year old stuff from a custom loader in Maine to left over issue Federal 115 gr. HP that had to be over 30 years old to Barnes +P HP. 0 issues.
It is now loaded with Sig V-Crown 124 gr. JHPs.
Reasonable accuracy at 7 Yards. This is the 2nd 100 rounds that day.
And since we've started comparing the Shield to the RM380, here's the 2nd 100 from one of those a month before.
The Shield clearly has the edge and also did not raise a blister on my trigger finger as the Remington did. I'd consider $200 a good price. Some people are just fickle when it comes to guns, but I'd try to talk him into a range session, too.
