No .45 for the Shield. I even emailed S&W to see if they have one in the works: "no plans at this time."

I was interested because I prefer the way the M&P series feels in the hand, and I could probably do something about the trigger, but no .45 is a deal breaker. So, I have an XDs.

Finally got to take the new toy to the range today. I've heard a lot about problems with light primer strikes and FTRBs on the XDs, but this one ate a box of 230gr UMC, a box of 185gr Monarchs, and two mags of 230gr Gold Dots with no trouble at all.

Quite a bit of dry firing has smoothed out the trigger pretty darn well, and I really like the feel of the gun, especially since I switched over to the smaller backstrap. I'm thinking it's a keeper.

I like mine! For what it is, it works very well! Reliable, nice trigger, and Accurate! Very Accurate for it's size! Love the fiber sight too! Easy to see!
