With the new CCP division, is anyone running the Shield for IDPA?
I have been a FS 9 SSP competitor for a couple of years now. Since I advocated for the CCP division, I thought I better get my self up to speed.
If you are running it, any mods that fit within the rules that you like or didn't like?
What do you like for an IDPA holster?
and Mag pouches?
Do I put on a Fibre Optic sight? Which one?
Anyway, I just picked up a Shield 9 no ext. safety, yesterday. Wiped it down and ran 200 rounds thru. Various 115gr to 147 gr. Factory and reloads, some JHP, most FMJ. Slow fire I was able to consistently hit a 6in square at 10yds. Controlled pairs - I was seeing a bit of a drift.
I let another shooter, who is a very good competitor run a mag thru.
No failures for him, nor for me in that limited test.
Trigger feels a bit heavy and a bit gritty in dry fire, but not with live rounds.
I am going to do a "25c Trigger Job" (search the U-Tube for that) and will then put a couple hundred more rounds down range.
I do have to find mags - Midway et al don't have them today.
Until I get to 1000 rnds, I won't decide about a replacement Sear, nor Apex etc.
TIA
