What's the ideal ultimate shield set up?

[DrJCM020]

I like the sights and grip Shield 9mm being blind in my left eye and left-handed Started shooting right-handed was different but I like the 9mm round for price and recoil I don't use a laser

I feel ya the opposite eye hand dominance sight alignment.

I'm one the of the odd balls that's left eye dominant but right hand dominant. Complicates things a little but nothing that practice can't cure.

id keep it simple. Polished Apex kit w/ trigger from Two Brothers
M&P Shield Duty / Carry Action Enhancement & Trigger Kit (AETK) | Two Brothers Tactical

Granulate or Rubber Talon Grips
M&P Shield 9mm & .40 Grips | Two Brothers Tactical

Wow two brothers tactical easily has the lowest prices around on the full apex shield kits. Good find and thanks heaps for including the links!

I got me a Shield 9mm in the first few days of August. A few weeks later, got TruGlo TFOs installed, Green/Yellow ... bought an extra 8rd magazine (keep the 7 rd installed, keep two spare 8rds just in case as backups...) and carrying in a Galco King Tuk IWB hybrid holster...

Works pretty good for me! May not be a Sig Sauer MK25 nor a Springfield Armory TRP 1911 but, for dedicated every-day-carry [especially considering Florida heat 8 months out of the year] it's my bag, baby!

Apex parts: Not needed, don't really want them on my SD pistol, but others think they're necessary.
Slide mods: Not needed
Sights: Would be nice to have a factory Night Sight option
Which laser: Not needed, but a LaserGrip, or side mount like the Laserlyte side mount (No Special Holster needed)
Larger mag capacity: Defeats the whole purpose
Match barrel: Pretty much just marketing hype for pistols.
Ported/compensated: Not on my SD pistol
Threaded barrel: Eh.... Okay
Grips: I don't need 'em on mine, but people seem to like Talons
Finish: Current finish is fine.
Recoil spring weight changes: No problem with the Factory spring.
Scandium slide: LOL... Why?
Red dot sight: On a Subcompact CC pistol? Too small (The sight window, that is).
Tactical rail mounts: Nah.
Caliber conversion to say like 10mm or 357sig: Sure... Make all appropriate calibers available... Including .45

I'm a man of simple utilitarian needs.
I like it as it is. If I didn't... I wouldn't have bought it.

Yep

Burwell trigger job and Talon rubber grips for me. Total cost - $12 for the grips (on sale) and a couple of hours of my time.
