Fabulous concealed carry pistol. This 9mm Shield quite literally does it all. It easily shoots plus P ammo. I did some rapid fire tests at 30 feet and some slow fire tests at 50 feet. There is no recoil to speak of. The gun is a great design. You can triple-tap this pistol as fast as you can a full-sized auto. It doesn't matter if you're using 124 plus P Gold Dots or Buffalo Bore 147 grain plus P. However, if you're an old bulls eye shooter you can't use a six-o-clock hold on the target or you will shoot low. You need to use a twelve-o-clock hold. The groups are not as small as they would be with a full-sized auto, but they stay within the 4 inch range at 50 feet which is good enough for me. The DeSantis pocket holster works well, and I also recommend pocketholsters.com for their model. It has a neat square flap on the outside of the gun that really hides the shape. The safety is very easy to click on and off, and I glad it has it because of the added safety in my pocket. Smith and Wesson has a winner here. Highly recommended. - JOE
