I picked up a Gen 1 45c today for $325 with both mags and the 3 grips. It shows very little use. I've been on the fence for a while to see what, if anything, happens in version 2.0. I could not pass up the deal.
I've got a couple hundred rounds through my 9mm Shield now. I was planning on upgrading the trigger but at this point am sticking with the stock trigger. It is nice and smooth. It is no where as long as the BG. My Galloway trigger kit for that came in the mail today.
After one trip to the range with a shiny new M&P 9mm full size I ordered the DCAEK kit from Apex. It was pretty easy to install. Including watching the YouTube videos a couple of times I have less than an hour total invested.
I should get back to the range this weekend but dry fire feels so...
My son and I put 150 rounds through a shiny new 9mm Shield today. No issues at all.
I am very pleased with this purchase. It is my first semi-auto. My revolvers are going to get jealous. :D
