Late Release Shields: Do They Rack Any Easier?

[mltndw3]

The bottom line is that almost all new Shields are hard to rack but with use, they loosen up and becomes manageable for most everyone. The suggestion to buy a used one is excellent because someone else has already done the hard work. My wife and I absolutely hated the Shield because of this problem when we bought it since we hadn't experienced similar problems with our G19. The advice I got on this forum convinced me to hang in there, and I am really glad I did. I love this gun.

I have the 40 shield, has quite a few rounds through it. My 80 year old father can not rack it.

At work, I rack brand new Shields all the time. The newest ones made last month are no easier than the very first ones. However, you already own an excellent PPS. If it works for you, look no further. GARY

That's the answer I was looking for, Gary, thanks!
