Congrats the shield is a fine pistol, my Sunday morning gun. It's very accurate for me. I normally carry a higher capacity double stack myself.
I tried a rental Shield at the range and it was tough to get #8 in the magazine on one that had been used many times. So, I bought a Maglula this weekend.Congratulations on the Shield!
The magazines are somewhat notorious for being stiff early on. I've only had my Shield a few months, so I'm still waiting to see if that changes.
a good choice but tough to shoot well without considerable practice. My wife carries one frequently...light, powerful for its size, good ammunition for SD readily available...it about has it all covered. And BTW, the exposed hammer does not hinder her draw/presentation movement. She uses a Galco pocket holster or a OWB open top rig. Equipped with the issue rubber S&W stocks, it's good to go, or refit with a set of Crimson Trace laser's, it fits her hand to perfection. Rod637 airweight .38 spl
