Mine is a very accurate pistol. I removed the little wire lever (sear lock), installed an Apex kit, polished a few surfaces. I also installed Truglow night sights. One can easily remove the thumb safety if desired.

They have the Sheild in 45 ACP. Wink

Can you tell me about removing the sear lock wire? I haven't taken this down yet. Saw online about this thing and it seems a bit of a pain. Any negatives to removing it?




These go to eleven.

Look into the Apex Duty/Carry Kit for the Shield. Includes their rounded striker block and machined sear in addition to new trigger springs. The striker block and sear will make the biggest difference, the Shield's stock trigger is somewhat gritty.

Installation of the striker block requires removal of the rear sight, which is a real PITA, but it's a good opportunity to upgrade the sights at the same time.

I CCW a Shield during cold weather season. I bought mine as a Shield40, when the ammo hoarding craze was happening several years ago, as .40sw ammo was more available than 9mm. I changed everything out to Apex parts and really love the gun. Shoots a lot like my FS M&P9/40. However I also wanted to shoot 9mm. I was going to add a Shield9 when I came across a beat up Shield9 slide for $100. Given how much I spent on Apex parts for the lower, it was a no brainer for me to buy the slide and just swap slides. Now I can shoot 9mm and/or .40sw.
