I was going to try Kytex several weeks ago because of all the good reviews. Sent them an email to see if they had any mag pouches for the Shield 45 yet. I never received a reply or anything so I ordered 2 kydex OWB pouches from Ted_Cori on ebay. I received them quick and they are just what I...

^ This. Numerous reports of 40 S&W kabooms is the reason I didn't buy a Shield 40 to go with my Shield 9. Bought a Shield 45 instead with no regrets.

22 Shooter- Thanks for bringing this up. I had been wondering the same thing about how LSWC would shoot from my Shield 45. I have some SNS Casting coated 200 grain LSWC and some 200 grain Round Nose Flat point on order to try.

My sight arrived this morning and I got it installed. It comes over sized and a small amount of filing was done when fitting it. It has a dull black oxide looking finish. The rear notch is nice and sharp. The back of the sight has serrations to reduce glare and the slightly concave front also...

Thanks for the reply. I got it out. It was stuck pretty tight and needed a few taps with the plastic handle of a screwdriver. It must have been pressed in there. Glad I got it out because everything was really gummy inside. Got the striker and plastic tube clean/dry. I also polished the...

I'm going to install a new rear sight on my Shield 45 as soon as the new sight gets here. To get a jump on the install I went ahead and removed the stock rear sight, using the JMT pusher it just pushed right out. While I was at it I figured I'd remove the striker to clean out any oil or other...

Thanks for the replies guys. Glad to hear that type of sight is works well. I ordered my sight last week so I hope it shows up in the next couple of days.

Certain recent events that hit close to home have made me a lot more aware of what happens during an exchange of gunfire. One of these things is being able to charge a semi auto pistol one handed. The more I thought about it the more it made sense to swap the stock rear sight on my Shield to...

I installed the Apex sear and Apex USB in my Shield 9mm. The pull went from >7 pounds to a little over 5 pounds. The trigger no longer felt gritty and reset improved too. While the slide was apart I also removed the burr and machine marks inside of the hole where the striker block rides. That...

I just received this new OWB kydex holster for my Shield 45 and thought some of you might be interested. It's made by Kevin at KK Custom Kydex. I had him make one for my Shield 9 sometime ago and I liked it so well that I had him make one for the new 45. Just like the first one the material...

My Shield had the false reset click. After examining it closely, the trigger bar was making contact with the corner of the sear housing when the trigger was released just before the trigger reset. All I did was ever so slightly ease that corner where the trigger bar was making contact. That...

My new Shield 45 had failed to lock back a few times but it was my thumbs forward grip. With a XD and a XDs that I had, I rounded and smoothed the top edge of the slide stops and that fixed the problem. I'm in the process of trying to build muscle memory with a new grip now. I can't bring...

I've had the 9mm Shield for about a year and it's been my main cool weather carry gun since I got it. After the 45 was introduced I figured I needed to check it out. I read all the reviews that I could find and watched hickock's review. Overwhelmingly positive reviews. I finally got to fondle...

What is most comfortable & concealable owb holster for shield? Mitch Rosen Upper Limit works for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree that getting a good 1 1/2" belt would probably help eliminate the waistband from rolling over and provide more support for the gun. Also softening the inside edges of the top of the holster with some sandpaper might help with the skin irritation.

Glad it was something simple. I had run into similar situations before with improperly sized cases that had stuck in the chamber. I had to hold the gun tight and push the muzzle end of the slide against a tree to dislodge the stuck case.

It could be that the snap cap is stuck in the chamber not letting you retract the slide.
