I used some florescent orange testors model paint for mine.
Its nice and bright!
I'll run this format till I get some night sights. Probably the Ameriglo Pro I-Dots.
Thats a bummer. I have been considering getting these for my shield. This bit of info is not helping the plus side of these sights. However they seem to be making an effort to make things right so that is a plus.
I got the TFO's for my glock and while they are great. the three green dots...
Trying not to add to the confusion here (Though I probably will and would welcome a correction), but I have also seen referenced that Light to Heavy (Hot) refer to the weight of the projectile itself not necessarily the powder charge therin.
i.e. in 9mm 115gr would be light and 147gr. would...

I have had a few holsters for my Glock 19 which I carried concealed until I got the Shield. The one I liked the best was a recent purchase the De Santis SOF-TUK. I got one for my Shield as well.
I carry appendix IWB. It is very comfortable tucked or un-tucked. I'm skinny and 5'8" So anyplace...
I just got my Shield today. Went to the range and shot a few rounds with some different Hollow points with no issues. Shot around 40-50 rounds of Tula brass max and had a couple of stove pipes. Did not have any other fmj rounds with me to try. But other than that everything seemed to be fine...
My LGS had a list price of $375 + tax but after a month of waiting and still no signs of getting any back in. I got impatient.
I found one online $360 FREE Shipping. So I pulled the trigger (PUN VERY MUCH INTENDED! ) Transfer fee will be $25
So I am $385 out the door. It will be here Next...
