Shield remorse.. Wait maybe not..

Shield remorse.. Wait maybe not..

Muscle memory. I don't want her to get in the habit of short cycling the slide. Pull and release the slide with authority otherwise if there's ever a problem one always reverts back to their training. Just my humble opinion of the slide lock. I'm sure it has it's place, just not my idea of the way it should be.

She's shooting 3-gun matches with a Shield????!!!!
Wow, I'm impressed

The shield isn't the only gun with a mag disconnect.
I have shot my shield in 3 gun, etc. When I do, my focus is more
on proficiency in draw, mag change, and general performance as opposed to time.
It is one of my ccw sidearms and nothing improves you more than working under pressure.
I also learn more about the guns ideosyncracies, of any.

Add- Love my non CA SSE Shield9 with NO LCI. I would have spent the extra money to go SSE.

In the free state forums, they complain about the magazine warning

[pastureofmuppets]

Obviously, I don't know why she is.

Why did you put "she" in italics?

I told her to get used to the trigger. Feel when it breaks, hold it and slowly release to feel the reset click. Yes dry firing it. So like mentioned above, every time you must reinsert the mag.

Ah, yes of course. Dry firing. Silly me.

I'm hard in the habit of bringing the slide back just enough to reset for dry fire.

I understand the Shield has a tighter spring though, and there's habit building there. I do it in a different way than I do when life firing to try and mitigate that.

I can understand removing the mag safety there.

Other than it's 1.5 hour drive from OC one way (up 2.5 hours with traffic jams), which is 6-10 hours total.

I bought from them and live in OC. You are exactly correct on the travel times. It once took me 2.5 hours one way to travel back from there.

That being said, I really liked the Shield 9mm I bought from them. They are nice people and get you in and out of their house quickly.

Just picked up a No External safety 40 Shield at Alquist in Turlock for $433 out the Door pricing.. pretty good for anywhere around here. Store is busy as hell, if you go there, be prepared for a wait..
