Nice write up, thank you. Sadly, California will probably never see the 45 Shield.

Has Apex started making parts for it yet? If not, if you remove the rear sight and polish the USB, that'll smooth out the trigger.

OBTW, have you tried "flea-bay"???

Yes, you'll pay a premium, but you can have them now.

I went through the same thing when they first released the Shield years ago.

I've seen plenty of M&P 45 mags there, but none for the 45 Shield.

Apex hasn't started making 45 Shield parts as yet, but the trigger on mine is pretty good as-is.

Was looking at this same tool not to long ago, but I bought the G26 instead because it was in stock. May be my next purchase.

Can't go wrong with a .45 in almost any firearm.
I always said that if there's one handgun that was going to give Glock a run for their money was the S&W M&P platform.

Quantico Tactical now has 45 Shield mags in stock.

I ordered two seven rounders this AM.

Glad to know Shield 45 mags are now available; one more in the plus column for getting one.
