I Just Ordered an M&P Shield 9mm (and a Holster too)

I've been hearing how good they are for quite some time now, and when they went on sale for $214 w/rebate and free shipping a few months ago I had to finally go for it. I'm glad I did.
 
I was really impressed by my 9mm Shield but couldn't talk myself into the 45. Then the rebate came out and I decided to get another 9mm for my brother for $225 . At that point, the 45 was about $250 so, of course, I thought, for that price, what the hell! The lack of recoil in the 45 is amazing. The only downside, so far, is the need for a Maglua. Those magazines in either caliber are brutal until they break in a bit. :mad:
 
I just installed the magguts into the 7 round magazine.
At first, I could not get in the eighth round, but now it's working fine. The spring was kinda out of place, but straightened itself out. Not easy, but it should get easier in time with a little break in. Love having that extra round, so 8 in the flush mag with one in the chamber. Not bad for such a thin small pistol!
 
Ringa- Congrats on gun/holster. Both great. I have several of those same holsters. They are really good. I like because they are minimal and can be seated deeply with a quick change in screws.
