    Shield 9mm Initial Range Report

    Very pleased with our new Shield 9mm. Was prepared to fire 200 rounds for break in but had zero issues so stopped at 65. Prep was normal cleaning and lube (gun grease vice oil where metal slides on metal). All shots were rapid fire since this is a concealed carry pistol.
