I bought a .40 5" ported CORE and my dad has a 9 ported CORE and neither had much of an audible or tactile reset. The 9 you could catch if you really focused, my .40 gave no clue. I installed a RAM from Apex and it helped some, then I put in a new slide stop with the hump and now have a very...

I am a lefty but the safariland 5199 for the M&P Pro fit my ported .40 great. Sights don't snag going in or out, and the red dot has plenty of room.

I think if something happens to me my best friend will probably be with me so that may not be much help.

I do not shoot as much as I would like to, but I have started doing serious dry practice. I would need a backyard range and a lot more money to shoot as much as I would like.

I had been thinking I might have a problem with the extended mag dropping. I did two things that convinced me that it isn't a gun problem, but a me problem. One I had a friend shoot it and he put several 7 round mags through without any problem. Then I really watched my grip and put a couple...

I put some Truglo TFO's on my shield and yes, the rear sight was hard to get out. I mushroomed the tips of 2 brass punches and one fairly soft steel punch. I ended up using a square headed driver bit to get it out (yes the set screw was removed before trying to remove the sight). The original...

For me it is definitely the grip. I have big hands (also a lefty, my issue couldn't happen if I could reverse the release) and if I do no pay attention I let me right hand wrap around a bit too far. This allows the tip of my right index finger to push against the the pad on my left middle...

I bought a level 3 kit from old faithful. Conceals great, still breaking in, but seems like it is going to be comfortable.

100 165gr WWB 20 135 Ranger T ~200 180gr Ranier HP Reloads. No problems at all with the gun. Had a grip issue with the extended mag at first, but got that worked out so I don't depress the mag release on recoil (I am a lefty).

Nope, I do not regret getting the .40 at all. Like I said I will probably get a 9 conversion barrel for it just for flexibility, but I am very happy with my .40.

Thanks for catching that. Yes, the as should have been included in that statement. Edited to fix it.

I would say that the muzzle flip is very comparable. I did not shoot them side by side today (will have to do that next time). It of course had more flip than my full size M&P, but it was nearly as pleasant to shoot. Another reason I got the .40 is because I figured that companies would be...

I picked up a Shield .40 yesterday and thought I would share a few of my observations. First, like I have seen many people mention I was concerned about what the recoil would be like, and how fast I would be able to get back on target. After about 140-150 rounds through it I can say that I...
