I went to the range today with mine. Only my second time shooting my new Shield. All I can say is that gun sucks, it barely hits a 12" target at about 35 feet.

Practice my friend. Nice slow and consistent trigger pull.

Ill give it a chance, I'm just use to my trusty ol 1911. I can put them all in the same hole with that.

Very different type of gun. It will take time.

My 9C shoots a little high and right but my groups are pretty good.

That's pretty damn good. I shoot that with my PPQ but my M&P I'd say like a 4" group at 15. Definitely the gun because it's not an issue with my XD or PPQ.

Been shooting alot with the 9c and my CORE. I think its more getting used to the trigger than anything else.

Yeah I have the newer trigger in my 9c and it's still kind of gritty. But I kind of "sited it in" at 7yds and I'm VERY accurate that close and I squeeze off my rounds so slow and steady ...despite the small trigger issue I am confident my sites need adjusting. I'll adjust before going to the range again and report.

I gave up and ordered the storm lake 9mm barrel when they had $30 off $150 coupon last month.

10 round mags are better then no mags

True. I just get angry at 10 round mags due to what's going on with A2223

Not only are 10rd better than no mags, but some matches (uspsa and steel) limit how many rounds you can load at a time. So for me I didnt need more than 10 bc thats what I use this gun for.

Would you be able to compete with 15 round mags but only load 10 rounds in? I want to get into IDPA ...would I need certain types of mags for that?

Yes you can compete with larger mags that are only loaded with 10, but if you goof and load more than 10 you get dinged on your score if caught.

 

 

Got shipping confirmation from them already, lightning fast turnaround.

Cool. How many mags are necessary? I've currently got 3 for each of my 9mms and 4 for my .45. However I'd rather shoot with the 9s to save money on ammo lol

Both steel and uspsa suggest at least 5 mags. Duno about idpa.

Thanks for the info. If any of you guys can tell me how many mags needed (and mag pouches) for IDPA that would be great. Thanks.

I believe IDPA is 3 mags total + a 2 mag holster.

You better get into reloading because once you shoot USPSA or IDAP you will be hooked.

Lmao yeah I don't doubt you on that one.

My .45's cost me $0.16 a round maybe less. If I shoot 200 rounds at a USPSA it only cost me $50 for the day including addmission.

 

I can load up over 200 rounds an hour on my press. 

 

Start looking into it man.

What's the total cost for the setup I would need?
