The trigger on this pistol is almost a nice as the one on my Walther PPQ-M2. Took shooting today and also shot a demo Ruger Max-9.

The Max-9 felt good in the hand, better grip size than my P-365, a little less recoil. The problem the Max-9 has with me, is the same one on my LC9s the trigger is too narrow and pinches the pad on my index finger between the trigger safety and the trigger.

After shooting all three (Plus, P365, Max-9)the Plus was the clear winner, more accurate and controllable than my P-365 or the Max-9.

I have owned two separate P-365, neither one felt right in my larger-sized hand.

The Shield I am keeping as my carry pistol and the P-365 went up on consignment at my LGS!

I'll try to make this short, but first let me add that I'm a firearm collector not a hoarder. It seems I'm compelled to always get the new gun on the block. I have the original Shield in all calibers but, like others, went to the P365 for more firepower. I shot it fairly well but it always felt like I was holding a toy pistol in my hind. I always liked the ergonomics of the original Shields. Fast forward, I bought the base Shield Plus when it showed up in a LGS. Loved the feel of it right away. I've had two range sessions with the pistol right out of the box, no cleaning. Fired a total of 500 rounds consisting of a wide assortment of FMJ and defensive loads including +P and +P+. The pistol has run everything with zero, I mean nada, malfunctions. It is soft shooting, sights were dead on at 7 yards and groups have been remarkably tight - nothing more than fist size, lots of ragged holes. Love the new trigger. Yes, it's plastic but damn if it doesn't shoot well and is very concealable IWB.

Sold my P365, my Hellcat, and my MC1sc. End of story.

I think it's interesting how the mags are made by Mec-Gar and look like reverse-engineered P365 mags.

I think it’s interesting both of those mags remind me of the old HK P7M13 magazines.

THAT’S WHAT’S BEEN IN MY HEAD!!!! Thank you. Every time I see those mags I kept having a thought in the back of my head that they looked like something and I couldn’t place it but yes they do look like P7M13 mags.

"...so it is like comparing a yugo, to a Ferrari, all in all I do like the shield, fits well in my hand and I have larger hands, the std grip is nice and feels solid, for what it is, it’s a nice little handgun."
