best ammo for S&W 9mm shield

Those are my three favorites...

Any of the major, proven brands (Remington Golden Saber, Speer Gold Dot, Federal HST, etc)...but seriously, anything that's available right now.

Those are my three favorite HD ammo that I use. For practice....use anything you can find, cheap. You need to try different ammo and practice, but for a stopgap measure, just make sure they work in your pistol, which they should. You can't get proficient overnight, but start working now and soon you'll have it. Most defensive shooting is done at close range, so start at 3, 5 and 7 yards.

I used to clean all my guns after using them, but (good) ammo is so clean now you don't have to do it as often. I usually do it about every third outing.

And it isn't the ammo that you practice with as much as learning fundamentals such as grip, stance, trigger discipline and SAFETY above all.
