Well, with a rifle anyway. I was shooting Golden Tiger ammunition, out of my Chinese Type 56 SKS, off of a table rest, using only the iron sights (set on the battle sight zero). The targets were shot in the order shown. 50 yards: I fired the 1st shot at CM and then checked it with my...

https://youtu.be/zTVm1vHpccw My son, a GSP trooper, drawing his full-size service weapon (with light) from a level III retention holster, firing, ejecting the empty magazine, inserting a second magazine from his snapped duty belt, chambering a round, and firing again all in four seconds. Both...

Shortly after graduating from high school, my younger son decided that he wanted to try and become a Georgia State Patrol Trooper. However, you have to be at least 21 when you graduate from Trooper School. So, at age 19, after a pretty extensive background check and application process, he...

Here's my review of the Stealthgear Ventcore Mini holster for the S&W Shield 9mm. I also discuss the Stealthgear Revolution appendix holster, and the Vedder Lighttuck holster for the Shield, as well as the Stealthgear Ventcore appendix holster for the Sig Sauer P229 SAS Gen 2 9mm...

Here are the specs: IWB; zero cant; 3:00 position; high(er) ride for a full combat grip. My current holster, a Stealthgear Revolution AIWB, would be perfect if the ride was about 1/2" higher. Here it is positioned on my belt where I would like the grip to be: Holster suggestions?

I was "shooting" my laser cartridge through my Shield 9mm at the 2.5" reflective target at approximately 3 yds: https://youtu.be/H8g-RyQC8r8

I stopped at the nearby public range again today. Except for one photo, I was shooting while standing, using a strong-hand, two-handed grip. I was also aiming with both eyes open. The target was at approximately 5 yds (15'), and I fired seven rounds at CM and then seven rounds at the head. I...

My younger son came home this afternoon after 4+ months of LEO training and instruction. He starts his 3+ months of Field Training tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m., so we sat at the kitchen table and loaded up his six Glock 17 (sidearm) and two Glock 43 (backup) magazines with 116 rounds of Speer...

Stealthgear Revolution Appendix holster for Shield 9mm In the on-going process of trying different holsters, I forked out just over $100.00 (shipping included) for a Stealthgear Ventcore Appendix holster for my Sig P229. However, that was the last holster I bought for it, and it is far and...

I was looking to see if I could find a small utility belt pouch that would also hold my 9mm Shield, and after a little looking I order this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07513GMQ6/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It arrived today, and my initial impression is very good. There...

Just like the title says, a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm firearm, with the flush 7-round magazine, will fit in the front utility pocket of a Condor H20 pouch. I did the test fit with a 40oz Kleen Kanteen in the main compartment also. I'd assume that the .40 cal Shield would fit too; I...

Right after I ordered it, I had buyer's remorse and thought "I can't believe I just paid $8.54 (shipping included) for a little piece of plastic." However, now I'm glad I did. I like the flushed, finished look with the insert, instead of the unfinished look without it. I just didn't like it...

My youngest son, home for the weekend from Trooper school, asked me if I wanted to go to the indoor range on Saturday. He wanted to try out a Glock 19 as a possible CC handgun. My new Shield and I are your huckleberry! 3 yds; strong-hand, double-hand grip; both eyes open; one mag at CM and...

As I was practicing at home with my Shield and a SureStrike laser training cartridge I noticed something: Whenever I was aiming at something small (example - antique glass bottles, approximately 2” across or smaller, on the fireplace mantle about 14’ away), I’d put the front dot on the target...

I received the ballistic nylon Sneaky Pete holster for my S&W 9mm Shield today. The main reason I bought the holster is for certain work days, and I think it’s going to work well in that situation. I’m an attorney, and I’m in court four or five times a month with my main client. During...

I was trying out a new double-handed grip for both the strong and weak hand. Everything was shot with both eyes open. 3 yds; right-handed, double-handed grip; seven rounds of Hornady Personal Defense ammunition (to make sure it will cycle in the gun): [FYI – that is a 1” square grid over...

I’ve had my Shield 9mm for three days now, and as I’ve handled it, I’ve discovered three little rough spots in the casting of the polymer frame (see yellow ovals At first, I thought I just needed to get used to it. However, after two days of constant irritation, I took one of my wife’s emery...

My EDC for the last few years has been a Sig P229. It is kind of big, but not too big. And, it is kind of heavy, but not too heavy. Then, shortly after I got my Sig, my older son bought a Shield 9mm. I liked the feel of it in my hands, but I never got the chance to shoot it before he sold...

I really wanted to like shooting this gun. I liked the size and the weight. I liked the feel of it in my hands. I even liked the “ball in the bucket” sights. However it seems that the gun didn’t like my strong hand. I took my son’s Glock 43 to my local indoor range this afternoon and put...

The rifle was a Chinese Type 56 SKS and the ammunition was Golden Tiger. I was using the standard iron sights set on the BSZ notch. The weather was overcast, and the air was humid and calm. I set the first target somewhere in between 25 and 50 yds; I didn’t want to know the exact distance...
