I was able to get one of these today! Very excited! I think I'm going to hit the range tomorrow and run it through its paces. Very slim and lightweight without being too small. Great ergonomics. Comes with one extended mag and one flush fitting mag.

9mm, but a .40 S&W is soon to be on the market; unsure of when it will be available. It comes with two mags, the extended mag is 8+1, flush fitting mag is 7+1

I might be looking at the .40.
Wonder what the dimension will be compared to the g36.
I know the xds has came out in .45 but appears to be away too top heavy for me. Also oneness round than my 36.
I gotta know.

I'm saying this as I run for the door... I may consider one when they make it in a REAL calibre! Earl "If it ain't a .45 it's a damn pellet gun!"...

I went out to the range today to break it in. This is a great pistol, very accurate, no recoil, overall very comfortable to shoot. Took a bit to figure out where to aim, but once I did, I was getting some great groups.
My GF liked it a lot too; she had no problems operating it and very accurate. I may have to purchase a second one soon!
I don't have much experience with CC type pistols, but I would highly recommend taking a look at the Shield.

Just found out today that the GF bought me a S&W M&P9 Carry Kit. The Shield's going to be her pistol now.
