    Do you want a holster made by an American or a holster made by an American-owned company because there is a difference.

    645 not going back together

    My 645 has the same off center hole in the frame where the guide rod sits. I ended up chamfering the opening a bit to act as a funnel for the rod.

    New Performance Center Shield

    Looks like it got the tarted up Tijuana Buick treatment. Three portholes? Really? Red and green plastic sights? Has the G43 eaten into the Shields market share this badly?

    HELP!! Strange/Stupid Problem

    Wow, first post in 5 years and it's a duesy. I can't really help you but I saw a picture on another forum where a guy did the same thing to his Glock, if that makes you feel better. I don't remember how he got it apart but he eventually did. Good luck.

    The PRO in ProMag is short for PROblem, not PROfessional.

    Not a touchy subject at all, just the plain, unvarnished truth.

    I didn't spend $90 on a gunbelt just to go and clip a holster to my pants.

    Shield 9mm barrel impossible to find anywhere!

    So is it time to beg Storm Lake for Shield .40 to 9mm conversion barrels? I'd love one myself as 9mm is dirt cheap right now and I'm stacking it deep.

    Interesting analogy for those of us who remember the Ford Explorer/ Firestone tire debacle of 15 years ago.

    Shield 9mm guide rod n spring assembly

    ssguiderods.com claims to be able to make a better guide rod using springs from your old one. It's not a spare, but it is an option.

    Gun forensics Q: When a SW 645 fails to feed due to limp wristing, will hammer cock?

    The top-most round in the magazine should show a slight scratch from the bottom of the slide as it slid over the unfed round. If the cases are brass the stainless (thus harder) slide should leave a distinct mark compared to the brass on brass contact made from loading the magazine. I'm not sure...

    New Shield .40

    Order a Talon Grip for it, you'll be glad you did. I've had my Shield about a year and have found it to be a great pistol.

    What is the name of this Shield part?

    Mine does the same thing ever since I drifted it out to do the Apex carry kit install. I know you're not supposed to re-use roll pins, but I haven't found a replacement for it yet.

    What SD ammo do you EDC in your Shield

    Federal 165gr. Hydra-Shoks in .40 for the time being till the whole kaboom thing settles out. Where in the world do you shoot on Ocracoke, OP? It takes me nearly an hour (with no ferry ride) to get to OBGC from Rodanthe.
