If you can't shoot properly reloaded ammo you might as well get rid of the pistol.Correctly reloaded ammo is perfectly fine to shoot in any firearm.The key word here is correctly.

I'm with Cactus-Jack on this one. I shoot a lot of reloads in my M&P40 and have no trouble at all.
I think what OldLawman meant to say is 'hopefully you are not using improperly sized reloads". It is very important for the cases to be resized before reloading.
Good reloads are good. Poor reloads are trouble.

I'm not using reloads or cheap ammo. I'm shooting Speer Lawman 115gr and Sellier & Bellot 115gr. If you would read back through this whole thread you would find that others are having the same trouble with the Shield. Why do you jump to the conclusion that it can't be the gun?
Ok, it is the gun.....whether or not it is the gun....it is the gun. Are you happy now?
Ok, if anyone read my report on my new Shield, I first ran Sellior and Bellot 115 gr ammo and had nothing but jams and even a few stove pipes. Their ammo measured out to 1.158 OAL...yes still under the max 1.169 but long none the less compared to WWB and Remy. This last Thursday, I ran 100 rds of WWB and had ZERO feeding issues. So I say it's not the gun...but the ammo also....I have a friend who's race gun won't eat S&B ammo either!
Anyone if Northern California want to buy some S&B ammo cheap??? hahahahaha

I feed my Shield a steady diet of my loads and haven't had a problem with them yet. My Briley 1911 won't even chamber Blazer aluminum case ammo but my G36 eats it like candy. The G36 won't chamber my loads but all my Brileys like 'em fine. Sometimes it is just the combination of gun and ammo that doesn't work. Try something else.
