Today my son finally had a chance to meet me at the range to ring out his new "no thumb safety" Shield 9mm. He got it from Quantico for $299 plus $10 shipping and a $20 transfer fee from the receiving ffl. He's Army E6 and was able to take advantage of their special pricing.
He graciously allowed me to run some rounds through it (American Eagle 115gr. fmj). What a great shooting little gun, the trigger is perfect as is for a carry gun and he intends to keep it as is. I gave him an Ameriglo front night sight we need to install but that's it. I plan on getting one for myself but will have to wait until after tax time to do so.
He shot my full size M&P (has Ameriglo i-dot sights and the Apex duty/carry kit) as well and do believe the Shield won't be his only M&P haha.
The Shield was 100% reliable, no issues with the above mentioned ammo as well as Speer Gold Dots I bought him for a sd load.
Another winner from S&W.
