Shield 40

[OiRadio47]

Anyone buy one yet? I just put one on lay-away when I went in to pick up my Kahr K40. After dropping $600 on the Kahr, my wife wouldnt let me take the Shield home with me tonight. Gotta wait til wednesday when i get paid! Oh well, in the end I still get what I want!

Midwest Gun Exchange had 1 more in stock if anyone was looking.

Please let us know what you think after you shoot it. I would think it wouldn't be an enjoyable handgun to shoot for any prolonged period of time. Is it larger in any way compared to the 9mm version?

 

[OiRadio47]

Exact same size from what I could tell. I will take it straight to the range as soon as I pick it up Wednesday night! I didnt expect them to have them in stock yet.

My wife is going to have to help me break it in, along with the Kahr!

Have to post a picture of the Kahr since I brought it up, but Im more excited about shooting that Shield!

I don't know about shooting the Shield but that K40 is a gem to shoot.

Is there going to be a 357sig shield?

I picked up mine on Monday and shot it that same day. I really like the way the Shield controlled the snappiness of the .40 round. I shot it both strong hand and off hand and was able to control it very well. I think you will like it.

Didn't know they made it in .40...Is it normal to have such a small gun shoot a larger round? Seems like most of the smaller guns would shoot a 9mm or 380, 22, rounds like that. I know M&P make compacts, but isn't this smaller to be a pocket gun? As long as it can handle it more power to them

Normal? I don't know about that, but there are plenty of small .40s around, some even smaller than the Shield.

I know M&P make compacts, but isn't this smaller to be a pocket gun?

I wouldn't call the Shield a pocket gun; it is in the same size class as the Kahr P9/CW9, Kel-Tec PF9, Ruger LC9 and Taurus 709. *I* certainly couldn't pocket carry one. But then, I don't consider S&W J-Frame .38s to be pocket guns either, but know plenty of guys who roll that way.

I don't know but I would think that it would be a handful to shoot.
I bet they won't. I could see a 45 acp version to combat the Springfield xds before a 357 sig version.

Looky what I just brought home! Not going to make it to the range tonight, as my daughter is sick and not feeling good. Gonna try tomarrow night. Just dry firing it, I LOVE the trigger. I cant wait to shoot it.

Put 150 flawless rounds through it. Trigger was great. I was more accurate with it, than any of my 5 Glocks.

The Kahr K40 didnt do so hot. Half a dozen failure to feed issues. I wanted to get 200 rounds through it, but stopped at 150. The trigger was amazing, and loved the gun. Hope it runs better next time out.
