Ordered mine on Sunday April 2nd and it came in this week. Think I got the call from Roger that it was in at BPR on Wednesday 4/12. Picked it up yesterday and immediately ran some rounds through it along with my Walther PPS Gen1.
Initial impressions are good. I love the grip and trigger is good. Shoots really well. I was producing better groups with the shield than the Walther. It's a touch smaller than my PPS, but not much. Just a little shorter and a little less height from top to bottom when they each had in the shorter of magazines. I opted for the with safety version. The safety is small. It's easy enough to take it off safe with the flick of a thumb. Putting it back on safe is less simple but manageable. I think I'm going to feel better carrying this one vs the Walther. I just couldn't get used to carrying with a round in the pipe with the Walther because I always worried about and felt like I was going to snag the trigger and shoot my ass off when I holster it (IWB Aliengear holster at 4:30). Yes, I've watched videos. Yes, I've practiced. But just can't get comfortable holstering with a pistol that doesn't have the backup safety. One downside to the shield....damn, those magazine springs are stiff! Has to be the most difficult auto magazine I've ever loaded. Really difficult to get the second to last round in each mag and the last round was near impossible for me.
