    Optic on Shield Plus for CCW

    I purchased the Shield Plus and the Holosun 507k ACSS as suggested above by NewLiberty. NOW I’m waiting for the mounting plate to arrive tomorrow, but I have been comparing my 507k on my 365xl and the new ACSS. The 507k is perfect with my astigmatism. The ACSS center dot is a little...

    Optic on Shield Plus for CCW

    thanks NewLiberty. i checked out the Vulcan reticle online. Very cool. i have been using the circle and dot on my HD gun. When i go to the store tomorrow I’ll see if the ascc mode works with that view or only the triangle. thanks again.

    Optic on Shield Plus for CCW

    I thought I posted this a while ago but I don’t see it. I apologize if it posts twice. I am looking at upgrading my Gen 1 Shield to a Shield Plus OR 3.1”. Also considering a Holosun 507k to keep my new carry gun similar to my HD gun. Does anyone have +or- experience with optic on Shield Plus...

    2 Shields for Day and Night carry?

    Thanks for the comments. I am planning to get a shield plus for the capacity. That will give options. I must say though, i handled 2 at my local store yesterday an both triggers were very gritty during take-up. The store person compared them with a new shield 2.0 and agreed the plus trigger...

    2 Shields for Day and Night carry?

    I carry a Gen 1 Shield with TLR6. Been thinking about a Shield Plus for increased capacity. Recently removed the TLR6 while cleaning and pulled out an old holster. Without the TLR6 the shield is surprisingly more comfortable. Makes me think about buying a Shield Plus, then making one a...

    Gen 1 Shield vs Shield Plus

    thanks to All. i appreciate the insights. i’ll probably keep my gen 1. i also find it easier to carry than my 365XL with holosun 507k, which ive relagated to home defense. now thinking of selling the Sig for a full size M&P. too bad the holosun wont transfer, but that’s the problem for...

    Gen 1 Shield vs Shield Plus

    Thanks OldGoat. I appreciate your thoughts. My LGS is only offering $160 for the gun, HD night sights and 4 mags. I, too, may hang on to it even though I don’t really need it. These days you never know when a Chinese balloon may swoop in!

    Gen 1 Shield vs Shield Plus

    I have a Gen 1 Shield with Talon grip, HD night sights and mags extended to include 8,9 and 10 rounds. I carry 8+1 with the 10 rd mag as backup. Gun works perfectly and, as a 71 yr old, I love the sights and size. I’ve heard people complain about the trigger but I pull it and soon hear a...

    Is the shield set up for a light?

    I believe the TLR6 laser/light that fit the original and 2.0 shield will also work on the Plus. It’s only 100 lumens but adequate for self defense distance. The laser could be helpful. If you go the adapter rail and Olight mini 2 route you may find it more difficult to find a holster. I had...

    Shield Concealment Holster

    I love my shield 9 with TLR6 light/ laser, currently in a Tulster holster. Based on the size of the gun I have very little space between the gun grip and my belt making rapid draws very inconsistent. I am an average size guy, not pear shaped. I find the same problem with my365xl. I’d like to...

    Shield 4” w optic

    I saw one in my LGS, in 40. It felt pretty good and the optic seemed brighter/ less tinted than the romeozero on a Sig 365. I’m not that excited about the Performance Center’s ported barrel or fiber optic Sights, but the longer slide, optic and ability to use my current Shield mags is appealing...

    shield 1.0 vs 2.0

    Helpful thread. I have. 1.0 with Extended(10) mags, he night sights, Talon Pro grip and TLR6. I’ve been thinking about a 2.0 for the trigger or a p365 for capacity. I’d prefer to stay with S&W, but it sounds like the 2.0 isn’t going to be that much better. Likely will keep what I have. I am...

    Carrying 5” M&P

    I appreciate the holster recommendations. I have a 5” Pro, as stated above as well as a Shield 9mm that conceals well but I worry about capacity. If I can find a holsterto carry the pro, even only in cooler weather and more clothes, great. My other thought is to sell them both and replace them...
