I'm very pleased with Traction Grips on my Shield. There was a noticeable difference in grip while shooting, the gun didn't feel like it was moving in my hand at all and actually helped my grouping a bit. Best purchase under $10 for my Shield by far.

I used khaki from a Krylon camo spray paint combo on my Shield. Almost matches the lettering printed on the side of the slide about being able to fire without the magazine. It's starting to wear though lime in the S&W symbol. Just sprayed it on a piece of cardboard that separates the cans in a...

No, it's at the bottom right where the top side of the slide would be. Ok, first thoughts when I pulled it out of the box and tried it on is the leather is really stiff. I know it takes time to break in and conform to your body, so I started wearing it around and it's already starting to feel...

Got my holster today. Will post pics and give my thoughts on it later tonight. All I can say so far is I can't find anything I dislike about it other than the clips are a little sharp, but more on that later.

Shield 9mm all day everyday. Would like to get something smaller though soon for pocket carry around the size of the BG, but not too many pocket rockets in 9mm that I like.

Would alot of sweat getting on the slide cause this?

I picked up a tube of blue loctite for that reason, the screws kept coming loose on my current rig, loctite made short work of that. I guess it'll be trial and error if it doesn't fit just right when I get it. Pissed at myself for losing my dremel kit somewhere, luckily it was a cheap one from...

I'll have to check that out once I get it. Where exactly was this piece?

Bonecarver just showed me this holster, you can use as pancake or IWB which is pretty cool. HHH C1 IWB/OWB hybrid kydex holster

I looked at the Foxx holster too, it had mixed reviews. The SHTF holster, even though it only had 5 reviews on Amazon, they were all great. I do like the setup on the Hidden Hybrid that allows you to use either the clips or put your belt through the holster itself. Well, I'm just gonna wait to...

Round chambered, safety off. That split second it takes to remember to slide the safety off could mean life or death. The Shield is a safe gun to carry with the safety off as long as you know how to carry and handle it properly.

To me the concept is kind of neat, but if it doesn't perform like a regular JHP then it isn't worth $1 let alone what companies are asking for it. Thanks for your input everyone. I'll stick with what I know works. Now one other question and I know its played out, but I'm running 124+p Gold Dots...

In pretty impressed with Speer's Gold Dot 124+p reputation so that's what I run in my Shield. Was running Hornady Critical Duty, then 115+p Corbons but switched to the Gold Dots with a heavier load.

Yeah I'm sorry but anywhere over $30 for 20 rounds is downright obscene.
