OP OldRooster Campfire Tracker O Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 3,412 West Virginia	After watching several threads on here during the past few weeks I lobbed a Hail Mary bid in on GB for a new Shield 9mm without the thumb safety. Scored it for an unbelievable price. (At least it seems that way....) It's my second plastic fantastic, the other being a Glock 32. I'm hoping I like the Shield as much as I like the Glock.

I love the Shield, but mine is in 40 S&W. My carry load is the Winchester LE 165gr Ranger Talon.

I shot the shield last weekend, like it alot, likely going to grab one myself but last night handled a XD, trigger pull on the first shot of the XD seemed light years ahead of the shield, which is funny because last weekend shooting a XD-S I thought that trigger pull felt like pudding. Maybe it's me. You will enjoy your Shield.

I put the XS big dot sights on it, the apex carry trigger kit and Talon rubber stick-on grip panels. Like the Gentleman above stated,carries like a pocket pistol and shoots like a full size gun. I love mine.
