If I can`t use it, I don`t need it.
My Shield 9 has been out of service since May 5th.
1st I had issues with the front sight that took 5 weeks to resolve.
I`m still not convinced it was not the Shield fault instead of Trijicon that warrantied and repaired the tritium sight.
Then the RSA came...
The G43 simply based on it`s Glock reliability.
My Shield 9 has been a paper weight for the last three months due to front sight issues and a broken RSA, that I can`t seem to get replaced.
Sub par quality firearm and poor customer service has been my experience with the 1st and last S&W product.
