I took it to a local gunsmith he used a self designed puller it worked great only charged me $40 well worth it in my opinion

40 shipped it used not new but looks 9/10

i like my forty fi shield as well especially with the apex trigger

yes exactly and I had no problem with the minimum charge as I could not do this particular job without incurring tool expenses which were not justified plus I found a good local smith I will use again as needed. It is funny though I was watching him try to put the rear sight from lef...

my lgs was about 25 dollars higher then I got it for which was no big deal as long as they installed it. They were in fact running an M&P promotion with typical crappy prices and the rep from S&W there. Okay fine I picked out a sight and told them it was for a Shield forty fi. They told...

after action report went to guy about 20 minutes away. He had this monster custom built sight remover, man those sights were on tight. he did a first class job, I am glad I didn't do it by banging the heck out of it. Also would have need the sight pusher or a vise plus a micrometer...

for right now it is my only gun I need sights for. I got the TFX so tritium and fiberoptics optic planet had them for 119.00. I am handy have really done most of my own easy gunsmithing install triggers in ar and my tavor. etc. I have a work bench but as said the vice got...

thanks I put that on the watch list. as far as putting it a vice I do not have a vice I used to and the it got "lost" in a prior move and never bought another. I am going to call 4 or 5 gunsmiths in my area and ask. The guy I messaged on face book was the one the gunstore recommended...

not a bad thought although my local range is shut down for a few weeks ( long story

I know the sights on the shields are supposed to be tight but common. Local gun shop sells the sights at msrp and will mount them for free BUT does not have the correct sight pusher for a shield .45 okay So I picked up a TFX sight on optic planet for about 25 less with free shipping then they...

speed loader $8 plus shipping grips for a square butt 15 plus shipping sadly sold my 686 :( pics are not showing for me if you want to see them message me

thread starter I did the trigger only and felt that it improved the gun quite a bit. Metal trigger a plus gets rid of some of the pre and over travel as well. I hated the feel of the hinged trigger. I don't think the pull weight and over all trigger feel in the shield 2.0 is that bad...

I have a shield 45 I recently added the apex trigger. I think it is much improved I hated the stupid hinged trigger. It also has less pre travel and over travel. Pull weight seems the same I did not measure it. I think it was worth it to install it personally. It was a diy install only...
