    New shield 45

    Excellent choice! I too purchased one recently and am very pleased with everything about it. I've been loading what I have here, 185gr jhp and 200gr fp's with Titegroup, and function, accuracy, ejection all looking great. FWIW, I did drift my rear sight slightly and now she's hitting dead...

    Agreed. I had an NDZ that I put on and it fits well.

    Shield 45 end cap

    I just changed out my rear slide plate on Shield 45. Well known for being EXTREMELY tight. If you can do it without mangling the plastic my hat is off to you sir!

    M&P9 - Slide Jammed - Guide Rod Protruding At Muzzle

    This happened to me but was my fault for not crimping the case:o Sounds to me like the round did not feed (inadequate crimp).

    Racking slide and dry firing new gun prior to actual firing

    Dry firing cf pistols should always be part of the routine.

    Shield or Shield Plus

    If I could get even close to what I paid for my 2.0 then I would most definitely buy a Plus. In my area the market for a used 9mm Shield is saturated. Having said that, I am perfectly content to hold onto what I have especially since I just got a Shield 45 for primary EDC :D

    New Shield 45 M2.0

    I just purchased and received my new Shield in .45 ACP on Friday. It is the base version with standard sights and stock trigger. After a good cleaning and inspection, I took it to a friends for testing with target 200 FP's and defense 185 HP's hand loads yesterday morning. Sights were a bit...

    Ammo help for newbie

    My thoughts EXACTLY! I was just going to post how encouraging it was to me that a new gun owner with doubts had the sense and intelligence to make their way to this forum and ask for help and clarification. @Gracepatterson: Warm welcome to you and please feel free to ask questions here. Lots...

    Shield RMS on Shield owners?

    I am seriously considering adding and RMS to my EDC Shield 2.0 9mm and would like to hear from folks who actually own this setup. Questions for owners: Did you get the package with base plate or did you get slide milled? I understand the differences on paper but would like to hear about your...

    WTT Magazine for Shield 9mm

    I have a used 8 round factory Shield 2.0 9mm magazine that I would like to trade for a 7 round factory Shield 2.0 9mm magazine. This magazine has ~20 rounds through it, functioned fine but I prefer the 7 round flush fit for carry. Please PM if interested. Thank you.

    .45 Shield... Range day

    I really need to stop reading this forum... My Shield 9 2.0 has been my EDC for a good bit and the pistol I shoot most these days. Truth is I love the way it feels and shoots... and conceals. Over the past few months, I've become intrigued by the idea of a 45 and well, threads like these are...

    2.0 compact shooting low

    Whenever I have a doubt of this kind, I ask one of my more experienced friends to see how they do with it. So far, 10/10 times it's been me. However, I'm not an instructor with a lot of experience, just thought this might help in some way. 2¢
