S&W Shield X?

[BLJ]

Any experience?

Looked at one today and liked it. Felt good in my hand and well balanced.
Maybe a replacement for the 365.

I guess I’ll find out for myself.

50 rounds through it with no issues.
Feels a lot like a larger 9mm version of the Bodyguard 2.0.

Another 178 rounds today with no issues.
(50) each of CCI, Winchester and Remington 115 FMJ.
(8) 124 Federal and (20) 147 Winchester HP.

Groups were an attempt to see if the pistol had a preference. I think I just verified that I’m not very good.

I’m going to get some 115 Winchester FMJ FP for sure and maybe some Federal 147 FMJ FP to test function. This ammo would be for woods carry.

Eventually it will have a light and red dot. The factory sights are pretty good for now.

The groups. Hydra Shocks did pretty good.

I've been carrying a Bodyguard 2.0 over the summer months. I really like the looks of the Shield X. It's like the Bodyguard on steroids. So far the only complaint I have with the Bodyguard is the need to keep it well oiled. I've had rust develop on the extractor and magazine release and others have seen some on the striker. Otherwise it's a great carry gun. I wouldn't expect anything less from the Shield X.
