I still have all of the other guns I bought. The P365 is my second choice for carry. It is a fine gun. I simply don’t shoot it as well as the Shield. It may very well be the fact that the Apex trigger in the Shield has several thousand more rounds against it and it has smoothed out over time...

As long as you are happy with what you carry, it is great. I like my Shield. I’ve tried J-frames and simply cannot shoot them well. A J-frame was all my dad ever carried and he could hit whatever he aimed at. Somewhat embarrassing for me but that is life. My love of the 1911 did start with him...

Thanks for the replies. It is nice to know I am not alone in liking my well used Shield better than the latest and greatest. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Has anyone else gone back to the Shield after spending money of other guns? I bought my Shield a number of years ago well before they were priced like today. Added night sights and an Apex trigger. I carried it for a few years but then decided I wanted smaller and lighter. So, I bought a LCP...

After reading all of the comments, I think I wIll just stick with the Shield for EDC. I do have a little LCP I carry when I cannot carry a real gun. After around 500 rounds, I shoot it OK and I take it to the range at least once a month I think I will just stay with what I have rather than...

The range only has one air weight. The grip is stock. They do have some all steel ones with larger grips. I wear xxl gloves so the stock grip was very small for me. Maybe I should try the all steel with the larger grips.

I am sure they are great guns. Everything I have heard talking to people that have them and reading the reviews say they are perfectly reliable and accurate. I really wanted one but know that sense I did not like the recoil or trigger, I would not practice enough to feel comfortable carrying it...

Thanks for the replies. The Shield is easy to shot and conceal. I just read so much about others liking their j-frames so much, I wanted to try one. It is just not something I think I could get use to.

I went to the range today to rent a Jframe to compare it with my Shield and see if I thought I could reduce the size of my EDC. I had never shot a Jframe before. I have shot other revolvers, big, heavy steel revolvers before. The big revolvers were not a problem to shoot. I really do not...

I've had a 9 mm Shield for about two years. About three months ago, I went against my personal rules and put $200 in a $375 gun. I put the Apex trigger and night sites on it. I know that I will probably never get my money back. But, there is a reason I did it. I held and shot about every...

I fully agree The Beltman has excellent products.

Take a look at Frontline holsters at the 762 precision web site. They are all leather and wear great. Very well made.

Great choice!!! I really enjoy mine. It is a pretty good shooter regardless of the size. Be safe and have fun.

I have bought several for my shield. I have settled on a frontline from 762 precision. The can't is great. It is good quality leather and simply wears comfortably. It is made in Israel and sales at a very reasonable cost.

OP, if it is such bad ammo that you would never have your life depend on it, why would you sell it? If you sell it to someone else, are you not perpetuating the same behavior as BB? Even more so since you know it is defective ammo.
