Now I'm not forgetting which forum i'm in but here's the truth. Hickok45 shot the PPS MUCH better than he shot the Shield.
Hickok45 really puts the Shield through it's paces today.

There can be a multitude of reasons either way. Did you notice that he did not blame the gun (Shield) ?
Great video and great gun! I have had a 9c for may years now but when I saw the Shield I knew I wanted one before I touched it...once I held it I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough to buy it.
I love the ability of carrying a lighter gun when needed, great package from S&W, but what else is to be expected right!?
Also this being my first post, just thought I would say Hi to y'all!

Welcome to the forum!
As for Hickok45, he sucks! Anyone who is such a good shot, has a great range of his own to shoot on, and is obviously an all-around good guy ticks me off!
Obviously I am kidding...I really enjoy his videos. I like Sooch as well, and there are a number of others. I like The Armory Channel for his sense of humor and "unusual expressions" (not for children or viewing at work!)

well he is a big guy and maybe it just fit him better, it can just be that simple after all.
and I think the PPQ was a test and evaluation gun that he sent back after he was done although he has bought two of the T and E guns he got.

I tell you what...both he and Jeff Quinn should be receiving commission checks for the countless number of items I've acquired from their very straightforward reviews.
During the video, hickok45 continually knocks off soda cans perched at different locations on the range with very few misses. He is a quick study of everything new he's demo'd on his videos, and his ability to adapt his grip or his POA is amazing.
He did state that the gun he was test firing belonged to a viewer, and that he was probably going to pick up a Shield, but perhaps in the .40SW model.

I tell you what... S&W, Ruger, Glock, et. al. should be sending Hickok45, Jeff Quinn, and other popular Youtubers some checks rather than just T&E guns. They deserve it more than anyone.

I think they are happy with free guns.
Hickok45 and the Shield
Hickok45 is shooting my Shield in his videos. Also he compares ballistics between the Shield and a carbine in another video with a chronometer. I was reading your comments about Hickok so I registered to let all of you know he really is a down to earth nice guy who has a channel the entire family can watch without wondering if the children will hear something they shouldn't. He likes the Shield a lot, and that was my PPQ he was shooting and he also liked that pistol, especially the trigger, it's hard to beat the trigger on a PPQ. I'm loving the 9mm Shield, it's a good shooter and I believe the trigger is an improvement over the standard M and P trigger. The reset is definite, and the pull is smooth with a crisp break.

You can match the PPQ trigger on the SHIELD with minor modifications to the sear and striker block and polishing in the right places. I have both guns myself.

Does anybody know what the extra material on the grip is?

Nice of you to let him wring it out
Makes it nice for those interested. I appreciate what he does for the shooting sports 
Hickok45 likes the Talon Grips. Derick at Talon grips offers the more aggressive sandpaper textured grip, which is what Hickok is shooting on the Shield, but Talon grips also offers a nice rubber type grip that is thin and fits the Shield as well as the other. They run about $15.00 from Talon Grips. Check at TalonGunGrips.com.

Love watching his videos, he is not so much like Sooch, who to me tries way to hard to be tacti-cool....

I read an article that said he makes "good" money doing those videos because he has so many members....
