Shields first day out!!

[bmb96mus]

Just picked up a new shield 40 yesterday! Made it to the range today for the first time with it. And I have to say I like it!!! Its definitely no range gun lol my hand took a beating! It shot straight and cycled perfectly. Ran 50 rds of federal 180 grain fmj and 50 reman freedom munition 165 gr fmj. Shot at a few paper targets about 18 ft out. No fails whatsoever. And the mags and slide seamed to loosen up quite a bit. Hopefully make it back out tomorrow or Thursday

Nice. It is nice to know I wasn't the only one that had a issue with my hand after shooting it the first time.

My hand was a little beat after shooting the .40 shield, but nothing like what it was after shooting a block 23. (i love how my computer autocorrects "glock" to block). Anyways, I guess I just don't have the hands for a glock, really don't like those guns.

Sweet! Glad you like. I love not only the Shields but what I call my "Fat Shield"...the M&P 45c...

I have both a Shield 40 and a Glock 22 gen 4. I like them both and find both accurate. The Glock is more accurate at greater distances as might be expected since it is a standard size. The 15 round mag increases the fire power over the 6 or 7 round Shield mag. Which one I carry depends on the way I am dressed. The Shield makes a good pocket gun in a pair of slacks.

Congrats! Nice shooting.

Congrats on the new Shield. That "like" will turn to "love" before too long.

Good to hear you like it.

Nice shooting! Glad to hear you like your Shield because I really love mine. I'm not really surprised the .40 is a bit snappy in the hand, that's a pretty snappy round IMO.
