My Shield's Shootin' Super

Fired at least 50 rounds out of my Shield 9mm today, 6 different rounds:

Winchester Train, 147 grain
Winchester Defend, 147 grain
Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel, 124 grain +P
Hornady Critical Defense, 115 grain
Federal HST, 124 grain
Corbon DPX, 115 grain +P

No failures to feed, no failures to eject. The Winchester seemed to have a bit more recoil than the others, but it was not painful, nor even uncomfortable. The Corbon DPX seemed to have a bit less than the others and was probably the most accurate, but not by much. I was shooting offhand at 7 yards, and the groups were "defense accurate," but certainly not "match accurate."

This makes about 150 - 200 rounds that I've fired out of it (should have kept better count.....) and I'm very satisfied with it. It fits me well (I have small hands), is very reliable, has a decent, if not great, trigger pull, and is accurate enough for defense purposes. The only problem is that it's a little bit heavy (23 oz or so when loaded) for pocket carry, but otherwise it does everything I ask of it. It's a keeper!
