My choice for a carry piece as well. Awesome pistol

I've done two of the aluminum triggers now. At first I tried a hammer and punch so I understand your frustration. Luckily I have a small arbor press in the shop that pushed them easily. It is one tight little pin :(

I love my 9c as well . Some extra mags would be nice tho :confused:

I've found that holsters are a highly personal item . I've found that my preference is the Garrett holsters . Love the stiff kydex with the leather lining .

I have a .40 Shield and a 9mm M&P compact that are my carry pistols . I have a significant quantity of both caliber ammunition . I bought what I could find when I was looking . Realistically I don't believe the difference in caliber or capacity will ever be an issue .

I recently picked up a Shield in .40 and couldn't be happier with my choice . I find the pistol very accurate and reliable so far . Something that I think they nailed with the Shield is the size . It is small enough to be very concealable but big enough to be shootable .

Very scary but glad your ok ! I'll follow for what turns out to be the cause here .

I picked one up from Ozarks Holster Company . It was $30 if I recall correctly . Well made and fits perfectly .

Again I would like to thank everyone that took the time to respond . I do appreciate all the advice . I have also ordered the Silent thunder as it will give me three styles of holsters to experiment with . I understand that its a highly personal decision and I now feel that I should be able to...

I ordered something very similar to the above from High Noon and also ordered an Old Faithful . That should get me started on my holster experimentation . The Shield ran fine at the range , I had no issues . Also found some Federal HST to try out on the next range visit .

Just a quick thank you to all those that took the time to reply ! I picked up the Shield 40 today and gave it a quick cleanup . I'll be taking it to the range tomorrow . I have some Remington UMC and some older Cor-Bon to try out . The selection at the gun store was limited but I also picked up...

I'll put the Apex kit in the drawer for a while when I receive it . I pick up the Shield next week then start running rounds thru it . I'll re-evaluate after a few hundred rounds as suggested . I'm looking into some of the suggested holsters as well . Thanks and keep it coming :D

Thank you for all the replies ! Perhaps I should have been a bit more revealing of by background . Yes , I'm new to concealed cary . A result of geography I'm afraid . I'm not new to pistols as I've shot competitively for years . I've also attended a few pistol training classes . High Powers and...

Greetings After an exhaustive search for a smallish , full caliber pistol , I laid down a deposit on a .40cal Shield . I have read thru the whole site and found some great information but not the answer to my exact question . Does anyone carry a Shield AIWB and if so your thoughts on...

Thank you for the info and the welcome . I'm sure there are more S&W's in my future .
