Looks good! I've been trying to decide whether to do my Shield or not. What method did you use?

Looks good but will it hold up.
Thanks, picture doesn't do it as much justice as in person, far as holding up, I think it will last for awhile,I had done this for my dads Xd Tactical 45 4 years ago, and it has held up pretty good, the white has gotten a little subdued but looks great.
I used some white finger nail polish, tried to not slather whole area as much as I could, let it dry a bit, then used some alcohol prep pads with a little fingernail polish remover just dampened not soaked then keeping pad as flat to surface as possible wiped surface gently untill all that remained was the logo and lettering. Thanks for the input guys!

I got mine done, or rather my wife got mine done.

LOL, my wife just kinda rolled her eyes when I told her what I was going to do and that I needed to borrow her Fingernail polish bin.
Looks great.

My wife is the crafty one in this pair. She is a lot better at this kind of thing than I am.

It's really not that hard to do. We used the same method described above.

Real easy to do , and change color or re-apply if it wears off. I did mine in white also and really like it.

I tried several colors of nail polish fill on my Shield:
White (too bright/distracting)
Light Blue (what was I thinking?)
....then...
Metallic Gold...ah, that's the ticket...looks great against the black!
It's lasted now so far over one year and over 5,000 rounds in spite of cleanings and exposure to solvents after all range trips. Looks no different than when I first applied.

All the guns in this thread look very professionally done. They are very clean applications.
Personally though, I've never been a fan of advertising. I prefer my guns just plain black. If I could, I'd get the M&P without any lettering on the slide at all.

Not advertising, no-one will see it but me. Just a boring day with nothing to do. [emoji53]

Looks great, mildly subdued,and matches the same kinda gold toned color on the side that comes from the factory outlining the fact that gun can still be fired without mag, great choice!
Lucky guy!! Nothing to do!, My wifes got a laundry list of things im supposed to get done!!lol, I
Should be at the range engaging in my trigger therapy!

No offense intended.
All writing on the outside of anything is advertising.
I don't know of any gun that is completely void of it. Some custom builders will remove it when buying a new gun, but that's not common.
