Anyone here with a M&P Shield yet?
« on: April 28, 2012, 07:18:30 PM »
I have a PM9 kahr already. I went to buy a P9 Kahr this morning - I thought that the SLIGHTLY larger P9 might shoot a tiny bit softer than the PM9...

I rented the P9 Kahr this morning... IF I liked it, I was going to buy one this morning...

The Kahr P9 is as harsh to shoot as the PM9 is. Despite a small size difference, the guns shoot the same.

For the heck of it, I rented the Shield as an afterthought. I have shot M&Ps before, and I hate the trigger. I've had zero interest in owning one really... So, that tells you where I am coming from..... I am NOT biased towards the M&P, and probably decidedly the total opposite...

However, I found 25-30% less recoil (to me) on the Shield compared to the Kahr. All shots - right in the center at 7 yards.

For a guy who has never liked M&Ps, I LIKED it! The trigger on the Shield is different and much crisper than a standard M&P trigger...

Get this... I am now on the waiting list for a Shield! I didn't buy the Kahr P9, and will hopefully have a 9mm Shield within a week.

haha.

I ALWAYS oil and lube a new gun before the first range trip.

It is true that Glock comes with that gold grease. But even I usually throw down a toothbrush with oil on the rails of a new glock, and clean the barrel before the first range trip.

It'll be this weekend before I can shoot it.

I am still in shock - there is no "Beretta" written on my new gun. What did I do?  :th_thicon_lol:

Can't get to that until this weekend, unfortunately.

Its close enough to my Kahr PM9 that the Kahr may be up on the site forsale next week. We'll see. I just wanna make sure I have no issues with this one.

I just gotta wait for the magazine to hit the market so I can get some extra ones.
