Title: My NEW S&W Shield 9mm
Post by: DenmanShooter on October 25, 2014, 03:21:09 PM
Yep, it has the safety but I got it for $429 out the door. Purchased it about 3 weeks ago and hadn't shot it. I got a DeSantis Dual Carry 2 leather holster that took everything I had to break in. I tried wax paper method, plastic method, finally just put it in the holster and left it sit. Slides in out nicely. I added a Pearce Grip extension to the 7 round mag and that works great.
Been too busy to shoot it. So I had some time this afternoon and went out and did a little work with my 10/22 that was having a feeding issue to see if I could figure that out and did.
Set up some pop bottles filled with water at 21 FEET and only shot 25 rounds and hit every round but 1.
I did not know I could shoot so well. Fits my hand nicely, little recoil, sights are perfect as they are. I just love it.
I don't know how I did though, I lost 7 brass. UGH! I like to police my brass and I can't believe I lost them.
I am so happy I made this purchase, though. Turned mediocre into pretty good. Of course, only 7 yards, but wow for me.
Shoots up a storm, then moans over losing a few pieces of brass.
Well, dang it, every piece counts and I hate it when I leave 'em. :)

I too have the 9-Shield and really like it. Probably have 1,000+ rounds thru each of them (wife's and mine)... only 2 failures to feed.

Hey! That's my gun, nope , wrong holster. Lot's of these out there, and beside the safety alert on the early production, have heard nothing but good about them.
Enjoy.
