We can see how the Shield holds up to .45 Super
To what end? A carry pistol to hunt bears? A novelty pistol will never sell enough to justify production.
A .357 Sig/.40 S&W model with 2 barrels would be possible. A .22 TCM has a niche.
I love my 9 mm Shield, I carry it daily, it is a fine personal defense firearm. Period.
I’ve shot lots of .40 and some 10 mm. I do not want to shoot a 10 mm Shield.
Unfortunately we will likely never see the 38 Super move beyond the competition crowd. Rimmed vs super comp brass, vs availability of either ammo.................. From a manufacturer's standpoint I imagine it's a steaming pile of nope idea.38 Super would be perfect in a shield. same recoil as a 9mm, but the 124 gr round is smoking at 1279fps and thats with the 3.3" barrel
Could be a 10 mm is just to damn long.

But I do agree. The frame is big enough on the XDs 45 and it would've made an outstanding little gun.
However, same recoil? Me thinks my N105 loads are a bit warm then.
