I picked up a Shield 45 last week and took it shooting today. I was absolutely giddy after the first two magazines went down range. 13 shots fired and 13 hit the paper at 7 yards, all in the 8/9/10 areas. Things were not as precise after those two magazines though.
I absolutely LOVE this gun! It points very well and hits at point of aim.
My shooting got a little less precise as I went on because the grip stippling that felt good on the first two magazines, became very abrasive as the day went on. My shooting hand web got very red. This doesn't take away from the gun, but does mean that I am going to be on the lookout for some new grip covering. I do wish the stippling was more like what is on the Shield 9.
I am on the lookout for some more magazines. Having only one 6 rounder and one 7 rounder makes for having to reload entirely too quickly. I like the extended magazine more than the 6 rounder. I was able to be more accurate with it so I will be ordering a few more 7 rounders tonight.
