I've had one for about three months. I like it. I've put around 500 rounds through mine. Just shot it tonight. This is 50 rounds at 7 yards, one handed, with my left hand (I'm right handed).

I bought mine when they had the rebate. I have put about a hundred rounds through mine. No complaints other than the abrasive grip(I have girly hands). Just pulled it out of the safe last night to start carrying it. I currently carry the Shield 9.

I am another happy owner. I bought one in August when they had a rebate. I have a 9mm Shield that I love, and I don't really like the .45 ACP round because I prefer cheap ammo.
But for the price, I just had to order a Shield in .45 ACP. I like it even better than the 9mm version. The grip feels better. It has been totally reliable, and I shoot it well.
One advantage is that Shield magazines are reasonably priced, at just over $23 each.

I have one, and CCW it regularly. I found mine to be reliable, accurate and a very friendly carry. I may even buy another one just to keep the one I have company!

I bought mine this summer and have shot it quite a bit and it's been perfect. I don't like the hinged trigger but that's all personal preference. I changed mine out to the Apex duty carry kit and trigger.
Recoil isn't bad at all, I'd say it's easier to shoot than the Glock 43 9mm I had before. This was important to me since my hands are weakened from carpal tunnel issues I've had for a long time. It's a handful compared to full sized pistol obviously but it's manageable.
It carries nice and 7+1 is impressive for a .45 of its size.

Not sure about the 45 but I’m impressed with the 9mm. I recently bought one off of a friend who messed his up trying to do some custom work to the frame. I undid his F-up and added a Hyve Monarch trigger which keeps the weight the same but eliminates the pre travel. I was impressed with the first outting at the range today. This was my first mag at 10 yards unsupported
