I wish it was easier to do a search on this forum for "S&W" threads with the limitation of more than 3 characters.

 

Anyway, if you have experience with a Shield and aftermarket stuff... sights, holsters, lasers, grip accessories, APEX kits, etc. please share.

 

I'm specifically Interested in thoughts on any of the following in relation to the Shield 9mm that might be available, but open to others as well:

 

Apex Trigger Kit and local gunsmith to install

Night Sights (not sure if available, but like XS big dot sights and TruGlo TFO Sights)

Holsters, especially in-the-waistband

Laser... Lasermax, Crimson Trace

Grip sleeve, etc. of some kind

Aftermarket magazine extenders, etc.

Anything else that is a must-have for the Shield

 

I like the Shield quite a bit and would also like to pickup another one, and I think S&W would have a very good product if a Shield .22LR became available w/ a real aluminum slide and the Ruger SR22s reliability. Now that I have been introduced to the M&P line, I need to get a larger relative in 9mm of some kind and maybe a .45ACP one, as well.

Open up Google.com...

Been researching holsters for a while now. Just ordered one from Hidden Hybrid.

Great reviews around the net. Both IWB & OWB and quality awesome for the price. Do you see that price?!?

This looks like a good holster and priced right for the Shield, too, and it is custom if you use a laser:

I like the Galco Summer Comfort, as well.

I use the horsehide Theis http://theisholsters.com/holsters.php cowhide is cheaper and probably a little more flexible (since I can't carry often that horsehide is still pretty stiff)

 

As far as the Apex, they are fantastic products and you don't need a gunsmith. I have the DCAEK on my full size but nothing yet on my shield.

 

I intend to get night sights on the shield, I was looking at the Trijicon HD, I just have to confirm they won't hang over the sides of the slide. And save up $150 of course.

 

I use a trimmed Hogue Handall Jr. and I like it. It was like $8 so i figured it was worth a try and I kept it.
