Yes you can get Truglo TFOs for the Shield. See my thread here... http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/265744-custom-shield-9mm.html or this thread... http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/249724-got-my-shield-back-apex-trigger-tfo-night-sights-kg-gun-kote.html...

Took a couple of pictures of the "in between" lighting where I thought the Truglo's would have performed better. These pictures were both taken about a minute a part. Sorry if the angle and everything doesn't exactly match. I had 2 lamps on in the room facing a bathroom with all the lights...

Got a chance to put about 150 rounds through my shield today. Overall everything went pretty well. I was shooting a tad left (about 2 to 3 inches to the 9 o'clock of poa). I was shooting this same way before I changed the sights so it's not an issue with the sights. I've read that this is...

Concealed carry recently passed where I live (Wisconsin) so handguns and concealed carry type guns have been selling like hotcakes, especially the Shield. I asked a local FFL dealer about ordering one for me. He said the best bet would be for me to put my name on a list at one of the big...

Took a couple more pictures today. These were taken outside under an overcast sky so this is about the truest representation of the titanium color as I can get. The more I look at it the more I really like how it turned out. James does do really good work. The application of the finish looks...

Sorry should have used the search first. Found a good thread covering this very topic.

I've seen some pictures posted where the person will either cover or blur the serial number of the gun in the photo. Just wondering if this something that needs to be done. What is the danger of someone else knowing your serial number? Just wondering if I should take the extra step before I...

Yeah it is a really nice knife. Perfect size for carrying around in the pocket. Kershaw Leek for anyone who wants to know. For the price it's hard to beat.

I thought about trimming when I installed my Talon grips. I ended up just going with the overlap. From what I've read if you use the hair dryer to heat them up good the seem should adhere well. Yours look fine the way they are. And in the big picture they are not real expensive to replace if...

I picked up a Shield 9mm a couple of weeks back. Recently sent it out to James at www.xd-hs2000.com to have a little custom work done. James installed the Truglo TFO night sights and coated the slide in KG gunkote titanium color. I also have Talon grips with the "rubber" texture installed...

Oh.. we have plenty of those here. Now I just need to know where to send it.;)

Just picked up my first Smith & Wesson a couple weeks back... The Shield 9mm. I've been waiting on a list for about 2 months at my LGS to get one in stock. This is one hard gun to find in a store! Good news is my name was finally called. Been lurking the forum for awhile reading all about...
