Got to shoot my 45 shield today and I love it...I also have the 9 shield ..but the 45 is like a hot rod...Love the grip and the feel of the gun.
Wondering how the 40 shoots now...Might be time for one more..Merry Xmas everyone !!
I love my .45 shield, quickly becoming my EDC, it's been 100% now thru about 250 rounds, HP to FMJ to Blue Bullet Reloads.
I have 2 in 9mm with trijicons and apex triggers and they are some of my favorite guns. I like them better than the G43 and I love glocks. I just think the shield is a better firearm at that particular size than the Glock.
The recoil is not bad..Its that first shot that brings it into reality...lol....The grip on the 45 really helps.I'd like to pick up a Shield 45 soon. Can't really justify spending the money, as I frequently carry my Shield 9, which is an awesome little pistol. I occasionally carry an M&P 45 compact, but it would be nice to have a .45 just a little lighter and smaller. Anybody have both a 9 and 45 Shield, and can give an idea on the recoil difference? I once had a Kahr CW45 that was surprisingly pleasant to shoot, but I also had an XDs 45 that was a tad uncomfortable.

My only complaint on the S&W autos is the hinged trigger. Wish they would get rid of those.

The compact is really sweet,Apex trigger with night sights awesome carry piece!I chose the shield over the G43 as well
I have hated S&W autos forever, but when my wife wanted a carry gun, I let her choose and she picked the shield, I started handling it and ended up liking it so much I bought one for myself, I put Talon tape on both and just love the gun, now considering a M&P full size or compact as well.
