I'm quite fond of my Shield, but just be aware that its strong recoil spring may not be received well by inexperienced female shooters, given the common difficulty with slide racking.

At first the spring is pretty stiff. But after a couple of range trips, it loosens up a bit. My first time cleaning it, I had to use the empty mag in order to lock the slide back. Now it's no problem.

I'm thinking that the with the price drops & rebates, the Shield will be upgraded soon. Akin to the M&P 2.0.
