Bought this little 9mm today for $330 and it shoots rather well. Handled well and shot fmj and hp ammo with no problems. It was on sale at Gebo's Farm and Ranch supply and I couldn't turn it down. Recently bought the wife a Glock 43 and it shoots very well also with all ammo. I have always been a 1911 person but now own these two pistols. Am I sick or have I gone over to the darkside?

Any gun small enough to conceal is a compromise, but the Shield, for my money, is one of the best such guns available. Easy to conceal, but long enough to be pretty accurate. I have two, and they have been very reliable.
I recommend using +P ammo.

Thanks for the info.
I recently bought my second Shield 9mm for $200 after rebate.
They're good shooting and reliable.
Welcome to the "dark side." It's kinda like Hotel California!

Not the dark side but the right side! I cut my teeth on Glock's and M&P's but do enjoy a nice 1911 every now and then. Although when I carry 45 I'll carry my nice lightweight insanely accurate perfect little 45 shield and still have the same capacity as the full size boat anchor that is the 1911

Nah, you've just gotten less provincial.

The wife and I both have 9mm Shields, I carry it when not carrying a 1911.
They are excellent 9mm guns.

I think the trigger is pretty good also making it a good shooting gun.
