Recently acquired a Shield 9 from fellow THR member jdmb03 for a nice price. Pistol was the no safety with night sights.
The gun was received by my FFL in the described manner is a speedy fashion.
Gave the gun a cleaning, but it was already pretty clean to begin with.
We to my local range yesterday to give it a testing. I ran 100 rounds of 9mm 115gr FMJ and a mag of hollow points. The FLJ ammo was a 50/50 mix of WWB and Wolf. No FTEs, no FTFs, all ran flawless.
As far as accuracy, the gun shot about 1" left at 5-7 yards in my hands. I did not bring my range toolbox to drift the rear sight, but the gun is definitely more than accurate enough for CCW distances. I was getting about 3-4" groups at these ranges which is good enough. I tried shooting left handed (I am a righty), limp wristed, and still could not get the gun to jam. All in all the Shield 9 is worthy of all the positive reviews it gets.
I can now feel comfortable carrying the gun.
