S&W Shield At 25 Yards
I had a delightful day at the range. I have now shot 208 rounds with zero issues in two range sessions. 
The magazines are seating much easier the second range trip.
As usual I was able to blast the black of the target at 7 yards.
For fun I thought I would try shooting an 8 1/2" x 11" target at 25 yards using the extended magazine with 9 rounds and just my two hands for support.
As you can see 8/9 hit the target and three blasted the black with one bulls eye.
I couldn't be more pleased with my Shield. She is a keeper for life.

As my final Shield-Related post on this forum, I am notifying all Kahr "friends" that I will be selling my CM9s and purchasing the ultra reliable, super shooting, perfect fitting, can't-be-beat-by-any-other-gun S&W Shield. All fellow Shield lovers should run from this Kahr-oriented site and join me at the MP-Pistol forum where we can all get in a forum circle and start racking our Shields together. YES...there is a site dedicated to the M&P, including the Shield. It has Big Foots and Unicorns that we can gaze at as we hug.
Let's leave all these sorry Kahr lovers to wallow in their inadequecies and failures, while they count their FTFs and FTEs. They will never know and love their guns like we do. C'mon...let's go...RIGHT NOW!
Viva La Shield!

I thought of Mel Gibson in Brave Heart as I read your moving call to action.
What I like most about my Shield is it doesn't consume my life thinking about FTEs and FTFs. It is liberating to hit the range pound out a couple boxes laugh and joke with friends and not really think too much about the gun. It's like my Honda. Turn the key start drive stop turn off repeat. In a fast paced busy world its great I can now check off my to do list purchase reliable CCW. Now I can focus on buying a reliable lawn mower.

I suspect Itsthelaw's post was made tongue-in-cheek as kind of a Kahrtalk Pied Piper.

Purchased CM9 May 2011 $399 +$120 Kahr installed night sights
August 2011 after third trip back for repairs Kahr cut me a check in full for gun and night sights.
November 2011 Purchased Beretta Nano Cabelas $429 shot 1334 rounds 11 FTE and one trip back to Beretta
May 2012 Cabelas trades straight across Beretta Nano for Shield.
Yes the last year has been frustrating finding a CCW that goes bang when you pull the trigger but at least I know how to negotiate.

Russ,
Were those repairs strictly related to the night sight installation (I seem to remember that) or was there something else involved?

I don't know... Personally, never had one FTF, FTE, or any issues what so ever with my CM9. I have well over 1000 rounds through it and not one hiccup. I find it funny how one can Nano this and Nano that and how great the Nano is. Then, Mr Namo turns into Mr Shield.
