I own the shield. I used to own a M&P 9C & Kahr CW9. I tried the xds 9, the sccy, compact glocks, & the sig p938. of all of them, the shield seemed to have the softest recoil impulse, & i was able to shoot it quite well... After 700 rds, neither of my shields has ever malfunctioned in any way.
I purchased my first one before they offered a no-safety version. I carried it in an IWB holster (crossbreed mini-tuck, can't say enough good things about that holster) with the manual safety off. over time, I had several instances practicing at the range where I drew only to find the safety engaged (I holstered it with the safety off...) Almost broke the trigger trying to shoot a timed round. Once S&W offered the shield w/o the safety, i sold mine to a friend who really wanted one with the safety, & bought myself a new Shield w/o the safety. great weapon.
i was really excited about the LC9s until I read about the mag disconnect. I understand the argument for them, but will NEVER own a firearm with one. total deal-breaker for me.
