S&W Shield

ruger41
So my wife decided to take me to the casino for my 50th Birthday and begrudgingly I went. I normally hate that place because it?s an Indian Casino on a dry Reservation lol. But you get a free meal on your birthday so ok I went. Was there 20 minutes and hit a $700 jackpot, pulled that ticket, and got the hell outta there lol. Decided it was time for a new carry gun as I hadn?t bought any new guns in almost 3 years. Had some Cabelas points to use up too because come April 1st their Club Card is going away.

So I looked at Glock 43?s, SIG P365?s and the Shields(I have an XD/s in .45acp but wanted a new gun in 9mm and after the bs Springfield pulled in Illinois I?ll never buy anything by them again.. I liked the Shield the most so picked it up and had money left over to put in the bank...got a bunch of Cabelas gift cards for my birthday that I used to buy a holster and ammo. Went with the regular 1st gen gun...the salesperson showed me several versions and I liked this one vs the ported. And of course my wife loved it lol so may be getting her one to go with her M&P Bodyguard .380

You guys that have Shields have you had any problems?

    I have owned two in 9mm and gave my son one of them.. No issues with either. They are a decent carry gun and easy to shoot. I have fired several different types and brands of ammo though both and they fed everything I tried.

    I taught my daughter in law to shoot and after shooting .22's, and learning the basic safety rules, she next fired my first Shield. She shot it well as does my son...

    That was why I gave it to them...?and I ended up buying myself another one...

    My Shield is my truck 45. It is utterly reliable and amazingly accurate. I have shot the dog stuffings out of it and it just keeps going. It was responsible for the demise of a coyote at 40 yards with a head shot! I just squeezed the trigger.

    I am taking it to the range tomorrow to run a couple hundred rounds through it.

    I have one and like it well enough, although I do not use it for one of my carry pieces. I found it so cheap I couldn't pass it up mainly.

    If I wanted to complain about something it would be the trigger, but none of striker fired guns has a great one out of the box IMO.

    I think it has a much better trigger than my Glock 32 or XD/s.

    I have owned on for 2 years.
    It was my EDC for a year until I got a great deal on a Sig P239 9MM (Most of my pistols are Sig Classic P22X types)

    While I prefer the Sig mainly because it is the same in operation as all my others in every way but size I can't bring myself to part with the Shield 9MM.
    It has worked flawlessly and I have an Aliengear IWB so keep it as a back up

    It is a fine weapon.

    Yeah the trigger is not great but when required as a combat weapon the last thing one will remember is how the trigger felt just that it worked

    At least three of my friends carry the 9mm daily. They all love em. I plan on getting one sometime. I have shot a couple of em and they were fine.

    I got a hellova deal on a police trade in. 40 cal. I was a little skeptical, but the trigger pull was crisp 4.5lbs and at 10 yards it
    printed a 2.5" group with factory ammo. Sights dead on. The only thing negative I can say is you need a pointed object to
    take it down. These are really good reliable pistols .
