Shield 9mm

[NU9MM]

Well finally got out and ran about 200 rounds through my new 1.0 Shield 9mm. I as very happy with it loved how it shot. Minimal recoil very pleasant to shoot. I was a little skeptical due to the reviews I've read and heard about it being snappy. Granted I only put 115g FMJ through it. I may even like it better than my full size M&P 9mm. I'm still itching to try out a M&P 2.0 Compact. Thought about the .40 Shield as well. While out I shot a .45 for the first time ever it was a Colt 1911 that was a first as well. It was very nice to shoot.

My Shield 9 is my all around favorite pistol. Easy to charge, decent trigger, low felt recoil, just the right size for concealed carry.

I've only shot it the one time last weekend and I love it. What defensive ammo do you use in it.

Ok what's the favorite carry ammo for the Shield 9mm. Right now I have Spree Gold Dot 124g +P

I use the same Gold Dot as well as Hornady Critical Defense +P 124 gr.
Mrs 3M carries 115gr Gold Dots.

From what I have read the Hornady bullet outperforms the Gold Dots, but it might be yet another Chevy vs. Ford argument. I think both will get the job done reliably.

Yeah right now here where I live ammo is in short supply I got a small amount of carry ammo the rest of it is FMJ 115 grain.

Which brand of IWB or OWB are y'all using. There are so many to choose from.

I have one of the first Shield 9mm to hit the Tacoma area. I really like it and it's my summer carry gun. I have it loaded with Remington Golden Saber 124 grain +P right now because I got a great deal online and stocked up.

Mine does have the thumb safety and I wish someone would make an extended thumb safety. So far, no luck.

I currently carry mine in a Milt Sparks Summer Special IWB. I'm a big fan of the Summer Special and also have one for my 1911. It's not a cheap holster but quality seldom is. I highly recommend it. The Shield just disappears under a t-shirt.

They are pretty good, great price...

A friend did a great stipple job on the 1.0 Shield grip as we as my 1.0 FS 9MM. It's almost as aggressive as the 2.0 in my opinion.

I have an Alien Cloak IWB. The Shapeshifter is pretty cool as well as it's a fully modular system that includes vehicle mounts.

Shields are popular for a reason. I've tried all 3 and each one is accurate and reliable. The 45 shield is surprisingly tame for how small it is. Even the 40s snap isn't so bad on some higher loads.

I am still wanting to get their newer 2.0 SC's. You also have plenty of aftermarket for it. Glad you enjoy it!

Been using a High Noon Hidden Asset for over five years. It's an inexpensive holster that has held up better than many expensive holsters I've owned.

Well just picked up a Blade Tech Total Eclipse holster. For my Shield I was very luck to get it. Went to Cabelas to look for a holster. That was the only shield holster they had in the entire holster section at the Cabela's in Tuallitan.
