Picked up a Shield 9mm.

[C Squared]

So yesterday while I was out looking and needing some ammo, I glanced on one of these in the used case. My brother has several M&P Pistols, and one of my good friends who does a LOT of shooting has grown fond of his as well. I'm a revolver guy first. I will carry my CZ and have carried 1911s in the past. I've never owned a Glock, they simply do nothing for me. I know they are reliable, but so are so many other choices that feel better and look better. This one caught my eye, and for the price I said I'll take it. Sadly I have NOT gotten the opportunity to put some lead through it yet. Today I woke to black ice everywhere and as the day went on it became a total washout. Hopefully this weekend as I am curious. Small but not tiny. Fairly lightweight but feels like there is enough there so it won't feel like shooting one of the scandium alloy J frames in 357.

I have one and have put a lot of rounds through it with no problems. The slide and the mag springs are a little stiff but that is not all bad. The trigger is good for a stock trigger I think.It handles better than most of the pistols I have shot in the same size range.

Love my shield. Nice shooter for a small gun and is a joy to carry, barely even notice it. Very accurate. I traded a G26 for it and couldn't be happier. Best carry pistol for the price imo.

I love both my shields... Still trying to master the .40 though

I don't think you can do much better for the "pocket pistol" market. It's a beautiful little weapon. And as for Glocks, I'm not a Glock fanboy, but give them a chance. They're absolutely flawless. I held off owning one for a long time until some of my peers forced my hand. I wish I had owned one years ago You can't go wrong with a Smitty or a Glock. Or even better, both.

I have two 9mm Shields. The newer one has a slightly better trigger, but neither has ever had a failure of any kind.

Welcome to the forum....Also have the 9 Shield. I rented one at a range outing and my wife and I loved shooting it so much, we bought two before we left. After taking mine to the range a few times, I made it my EDC.

I also own a Smith & Wesson Shield in 9mm and love it, I installed the Apex trigger and a Talon grip and it is now the perfect carry gun.
It's thin profile conceals great, so far it has shot every type and brand of ammo I have fed her with no issues at all. It is very tight at first but does loosen up as it's broken in.

Been carrying mine for 7 months, won't be looking to switch anytime soon! Great shooter for its size too. You will not be disappointed.

Shot this one for the first time tonight and couldn't be happier with the purchase. Ni hiccups, good accuracy, handles great.
