Reddit mentions of Techna Clip Gun Belt Clip - Smith & Wesson Shield .9MM .40 (Right Side)

I don’t have much to compare to but I’ll do my best to write a review and my overall thoughts. As well as my upgrade plans.

Recoil:
Wasn’t bad, it was manageable and I was able to adjust to target again quickly. I’ve read with an upgraded recoil spring this can be improved on further and I will likely do so.

Trigger:
Surprisingly good. I’ve read the 1.0 had a crap trigger and the M2.0 was an improvement but wasn’t sure just how much. I’ve never shot a 1.0 but this seemed really good. The reset felt solid, I didn’t have any issues.

Accuracy:
I can’t comment on this yet since I’m a crap shot currently, I wouldn’t dare blame the gun for that.

Grip:
Incredible, plain and simple.

Performance:
I shot a little over 100 rounds this session with no jams, using 3 kinds of ammo (1x box of Federal & 1x box of American Range Ammo, as well as a magazine of Critical Defense). The gun went bang every time, was easy to rack the slide. Not sure what else to say, it works and it works well.

Loading Magazines:
I know some people mention issues with loading magazines being difficult. Just slap it in, it’s a tough gun and you don’t need to be gentle. I didn’t see much resistance in loading magazines but I always smack it in to make sure it’s seated properly and I had zero difficulty and zero problems as a result.


Overall:
I love the Shield 2.0 based on the first day. It’s an incredibly concealable and seemingly reliable gun that has some mixed adds features and a larger carrying capacity over the Glock 43 which had been my other consideration.


Near-Future Upgrades:

Trijicon Night Sights - already have them but I need to get them installed

Hyve Extended Mag Release - nothing wrong with the standard one but my hands are a bit smaller so I plan to change it

Crimson Trace Laserguard Pro Green Laser w/ Light - Best option for a tactical laser and the Crimson laser does not increase the amount of space the gun takes up outside of its already existing maximum dimensions.

MagGuts - new internals for the standard 7-round magazine which increases it’s capacity to 8. I like the 7 round mags for carrying over the 8s because it keeps the gun extremely concealable while giving me an extra round.

Techna Clip Gun Belt Clip - alternative to an IWB holster. The clip replaces the slide plate direclty

Upgrade Considerations:

Apex Trigger (Not sure if I’ll do this one as the M2.0 trigger seemed pretty good out of the box)

Upgraded Recoil Spring

I just picked up a S&W Shield .40 3 weeks ago and I love it! Width = 0.95" / Height = 4.5" / Length = 6.1" / weight (Empty) = 19oz. It is so comfortable to carry. (Specs are the same for the 9mm)

I bought a Techna Clip belt clip that I attached to the gun to keep a very low profile when I carry. (https://www.amazon.com/Techna-Clip-Gun-Belt-Wesson/dp/B012Y8RAWG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479923421&sr=8-1&keywords=techna+clip+shield)

I also bought a trigger guard for it also when I carry. (https://www.amazon.com/Fixxxer-custom-F-I-X-Holster-conceal/dp/B00NDVN0RS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479923545&sr=8-1&keywords=m%26p+shield+trigger+guard)

With these two things it is extremely low profile and very comfortable to wear all day. I can even wear slim fit shirts without any type of bulge, from the gun, showing around my belt line. This is a highly recommended gun. If you go to wikiarms.com you can find some really good deals on things like ammo and guns. You can pick up a Shield for under $300!!!! Link below.
