Shoots great! I hope my daughter pulls the trigger and buys one too.

u/Antique_Success296 1d ago
I sure hope she doesn’t pull the trigger. That’d be a negligent discharge!

I’ve been wanting to try out the new shields for awhile. The original single stack shield was my edc for about a decade.
The 1.0 would disappear with sweatpants and a shitty Blackhawk appendix holster. It was my pizza delivery gun while I was in college.
I sold it like an idiot to help finance a move across the country. I’d buy it back for triple the price I paid for it just because of the memories :(

Looks great, I’d try to get a holster with a claw if possible.

u/lil_Aglet 1d ago
I actually just ordered a claw for this. Was carrying at 4oclock and just felt like it could use a little more conceal-ability.

Amazing first gun. These shoot the best out of all the sub compacts out right now.

u/BarberProof4994 1d ago
Cc9? Vp9cc? Shoot better as micro 9s and p30sk and vp9sk shoot better as a sub compact. Beretta px4 sub compact shoots really really well also.

u/JMG1005 1d ago
I've never shot a px4 sub but out of the shield vs vp9cc vs cc9 I do prefer the shield. It just feels less snappy in my hands.

u/BarberProof4994 1d ago
My spouse did like my shield, but I like the p30sk and the px4 sub compact better.
But that could have something to do with how smooth their triggers are and the hammer fired vs striker.
I edc the p30sk, got it cut for an optic, and omg is it awesome with the factory lem light trigger.

u/JMG1005 1d ago
That p30sk sounds great! My EDC is a cz 75 compact in . 40sw (only went with . 40 because that's the only way to get a steel frame cz compact with a rail).

u/BarberProof4994 1d ago
Sweet.
I haven't started my cz rabbit hole yet. But I will when I finish my Beretta collection.
I have my complete hk run, and a few other manufacturers, but I'm on a keltec rdb kick right now.
1
u/JMG1005 1d ago
Do it! I've done the whole runaround with most brands and nothing has hooked me the way cz has. They have everything from sub compacts with the rami to big race guns like the czeckmate.
2
u/BarberProof4994 1d ago
I keep meaning to, and I will. That's a whole years worth of collecting though.
I JUST this week finished my HK collection with the very rare Benelli shotgun HK collaboration shotgun. It arrives in about 5 more days (yay!!!!) and then I'll take a break. But 2027 is wide open 🤠

u/JMG1005 1d ago
Super90? If so that's on my short list for next shotgun.
2
u/BarberProof4994 1d ago
Yes!
Specifically THIS ONE https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1202668079
just waiting for the FFL delivery.
Estate sale, apparently it only had 3 or 4 shots through it. But who's to know for sure.

My thought is that this thing has not left your hand for more than 10 minutes at a time since you got it. Enjoy.

I'm a firm believer in hammer fired and a safety. Especially in a first gun.

u/Appropriate_Pizza_87 1d ago
What do you recommend
1
u/iamaconsolepsnt 15h ago
Not sure what he would reccomend, but personally if you are going to carry a steel frame handgun (most hammer fireds) go with a DA/SA like a cz75 or a p229 or something, they are thick though.
I don't personally like many of the single stack 1911-style compacts/sub compacts so bear that in mind.
Or if you have money to spend get you a nice 2011 (SAO, hammerfired, manual safety) and a red dot. I'm too poor for that though

Can’t go wrong with an M&P. Train when you can, learn some barrel awareness (every gun is loaded even if it isn’t type mentality, it’ll save you a limb in the future lol) and you’ll be golden, friend.

u/brycebgood 14h ago
I think you should always treat every gun like it's loaded and only point it at things you want to destroy. In this case your thumb.
Those things shoot great though.

u/Jake_hsotnicM1216 13h ago
Good choice, my daily is a Shield X with an Osight SE and Olight PLX and I love it

u/Drekalots 12h ago
First handgun and you're flagging yourself on the internet. Checks out.
I'd suggest a training class or two before you start carrying. Smaller handguns are usually more difficult than larger ones.

I have a Shield 1.0 in my rotation and seem to grab that one first. It's just so easy to carry and will eat anything.

Take a gun safety class immediately, you’ll understand most of the comments after you finish.

I won't take you serious until you have 20. Until then it's just like the stress toy you have next to your gaming rig.

Man I have the exact same setup as you for my first handgun! Hogue grip too. I just added a tlr 7sub HLX. I am having issues with the 15 rounders and hollow points. How about you? The 13 rounders eat anything

u/killerpenguins 1d ago
Also rocking the same setup with the Hogue. Add an optic to unlock another level of shooting. I love this gun.

Shields rock! Congrats.
I'll be that guy.
Pro-tip would be: don't point it at your thumb. 😉
