I used a very small burr tip on a Dremel Tool to route out a shallow depression and then applied the paint (Testors type) using a sharp point to fill the depression. It wasn't a toothpick but that would work just as well. The dot got a bit larger than I originally intended it to be as I was chasing perfection of the roundness.
I created the depression to allow me to use the edges to constrain the paint and to also allow some thickness to the paint while still having the surface of the paint level with the surrounding surface. I also did a green bar that shows when the safety is on.
I decided to do the red/green stuff because I have a Ruger SR22P that also has a safety, but it works in the opposite direction so I didn't want there to be any confusion about whether the Shield safety was on or off.
I seldom have the safety on when I am carrying - this has become my EDC - but I am inclined to use it when I am using my SmartCarry holster - considering where the business end is pointing when it is being drawn.
Here are pictures with the safety on and with it off:

I want to see the Pearce when it comes out...
May not be any good for my bear paws though...

I am making a molded rubber grip extension for the shield. I will post pics when I get a chance.
If your product looks good, you might get my business as Pearce Grips didn't deliver as promised. Nothing new on their website right now.
Finally available
I've been waiting for the Pearce extension for the last 3 weeks since I heard it was coming out. It's finally on their website looks good from the pictures but we will have to see when it arrives.

Looks really good, like a factory accessory. Pretty impressive. Guess I'll find out for sure soon too as I just ordered 4 of them.

I just ordered a pair, too - I have a small NDZ now, I'd like to compare them.

Once they've been out for a while, you'll be able to buy them from other vendors for a less expensive over-all price, including Ebay (with free shipping).
Anyone who buys directly from Pierce is going to be subject to their S&H, so it's a matter of asking yourself... Do you buy From Pierce, as soon as they are available and pay their fees, or do you wait for other Dealers, with more acceptable S&H'?
I wish it would cover up the hole though like my NDZ extension. I just wish I would've up stocked up on the 6 round mags when Midway had 'em for $22 each.Yeah, you can always wait till MidwayUSA gets them in and then charges you $10 for shipping.
NDZ vs Pearce
Which grips are superior, the NDZ or Pearce ones?
Pearce looks like it is the same type of grippy material that the Shield uses, while NDZ uses aluminum.
Also, what is the purpose of the NDZ extended base plate that covers the hole in the back at the bottom of the grip? Any reason to want it covered/uncovered?

I ordered 2, since the shipping is the same for 2 as 1. Problem with that theory is I probably only want to put it on the 7 rounder. Not likely to buy another 7 rounder, but we'll see how it works out.
Of course, if your LGS carries other Pierce Grips, you could ask them to order some and pay NO shipping.
Midway also charges an extra handling fee for orders under $28, so it would be foolish to order from THEM if your total order is only 1 or 2 extensions.
