    Velocity Triggers

    I installed one in my PSA lower and I can tell you its everything advertised. Goes in real easy. No detectable creep and is a crisp three pound pull. I'm seriously considering another one for my Rock River Predator Pursuit.

    Windows 10!

    My desktop works fine with 10. My laptop did not and I had to roll back to 7.

    PURCHASE A SHIELD

    I've had my Shield 9 NTS since 5/23/15. Had over five hundred rounds through it - all my own handloads except for eight rounds of Hornady Critical Defense - without a problem. The only things I've done to it are to put a Molon Labe striker plate on the back - just to be contrary - and added...

    New M&P Shield .40 and my gimpy finger

    Left the People's Republic of Kalifornia eleven years ago. The only thing I miss about it are the beaches and the weather. Can't believe how much worse it has gotten since I left. Higher taxes, more restrictive laws - not to mention draconian gun laws - and absolutely stupid politicians (and the...

    What about a 9mm Shield with Crimson Trace® Green Laserguard

    It does. The main difference between the two, besides cost, is that the CTC is activated when you grip the gun.

    Do I need it?

    Resistance is futile.

    What about a 9mm Shield with Crimson Trace® Green Laserguard

    Green is easier to see in daylight. On a different note, dvor.com has CTC green laserguard demos/refurbs on sale for the next two days at $135 plus shipping. They tend to sell out quickly.

    Shield and handloads

    My Shield has been fed nothing but my own handloaded ammo since it was purchased several months ago. I've fed it Berry's plated bullets, Bumblebee hardcast lead and now Hy-Tek coated bullets from a local vendor. All loaded over Tite Group. The Berry's are 115 grain round nose, the Bumblebee were...

    CTC Laserguard

    DVOR.com. It was a special sale of dealer demo lasers. Sold out very quickly.

    CTC Laserguard

    Just got back from the range with my Shield. Second outing and another 200 plus rounds downrange. Got a great deal on a dealer demo from DVOR on a Crimson Trace Laserguard - paid $95.00 plus shipping. I've never used a laser before, but have gotten to the point where my eyes won't focus on the...

    HATE my Shield

    You need to start learning how to "roll your own". Get a reloading book and start learning how to reload all that brass you shot. Save the serious "social work" ammo for EDC and use reloads for practice. Excluding the initial cost of brass, my reloads average about 11 cents a round.

    M&P Barrel Twist Rates

    Personally, I prefer the slower twist rate over the fast. Less chance of leading with hard cast bullets.

    Really a Great Pistol

    I've had my 9mm Shield for about a month now and have run about 300 rounds (my own reloads) through it. I've owned several other 9mm pistols over the years - Browning Hi-Power (still have it), S&W Model 59, CZ-75 - and I have to say that this little pistol is really a soft shooting gun. Its also...
