I picked up a 9mm Shield about two weeks ago. I have put nearly 175 rounds of Speer Gold Dot through it. Feels good in my hand and fires accurately.
Today was the second time out and I fired 75 rounds of Gold Dots. Had two failure to feeds, and two failure to reach battery. The failure to feed had the hollow point hanging on the feed ramp. The failure to reach battery had one from a sling shot loading, possibly my fault as I have a weak left hand, the other was from loading using the slide release.
I'm unsure if it is an ammo related issue or perhaps a magazine problem. The feed ramp does have a sharp edge, but no burrs. Either way I am disappointed in the Shield.
Has anyone else had problems? Does your Shield have a sharp edge to the feed ramp?
