The Shield has been a love/hate thing for everyone I talk too. I would recommend renting one if possible first to see how you like it. With the G27, you already know what you're gonna get.

I'm leaning toward the G27. I just wish it was slimmer. None of the places around me have any shields to rent unfortunately.
So here is one of the many videos of what I was talking about with grip. Now I'm not experienced enough to know what she's doing wrong in this particular video. Her grip looks fine to me. In the follow up video the same thing happens, but when the guy shoots it, he has no issues. There are a ton of these videos on youtube, but I can't find one explaining what's wrong with the way they have the gun gripped and why the grip would be causing this. Springfield told me it's a lube issue, but that makes zero sense to me. Any advice?

most people who have had problems attribute it to limp wristing.
My wife has the Sig P238 and we had FTFs with it when she first got it. We sent it back to Sig and they made some adjustments...it still had a couple FTFs but not nearly as many as before.
Did some more research and found that the little pistol works best with PMC & Federals. I started loading it with that and no more problems.

Thanks bro!
I'm far from an expert when it comes to shooting but watch her wrist compared to his. The recoil of the gun really jacks her hand back at the wrist where as when he shoots he doesn't get anywhere near the barrel lift as she does. He is controlling the weapon as she is not. As far as I'm concerned by watching this, the caliber is too much for her.
I can understand that, but what I'm looking for is why that would cause a light primer strike on the next round? I could shoot my other two .45s and sling them up to the ceiling without a problem on the following round. Now, I obviously don't do that, but it's definitely got me confused.
Agreed. Nothing explains why the pin isn't hitting center every single time. Unless the round is not sitting properly in the chamber, which would make me very nervous it would kaboom.
I can't answer that. All I can attest to is I have the full size XD-.45 and the sub-compact XD-9. To the best of my knowledge I have never had a FTF out of either except for a box of Blaser Brass I tried once. I have not fired Thousands of rounds through them but I have fired Hundreds so take it for what it's worth.
I kind of thought it was unusual that the casing was silver. What manufacturer has a silver shell casing?
Would love some advice, or just another set of brains thinking this through with me. I want to get a new carry .45 so I rented an HK45compact and a Sig 1911 compact yesterday. Both guns felt amazing, both guns shot amazing. The Sig was a little more accurate but it was insignificant. Anyone own these weapons, and does anyone have an opinion on them? I think it's between the two, but I really keep going in circles with them both. I own the full size HK45 and it's one of the best handguns I've ever fired so the compact would be a familiar platform. I don't own a 1911 and have always wanted one, but will it be a harder gun to keep up and maintain for a carry gun vs. the HK? They both felt great, the both look great, they both conceal great. Here's my groupings from both pistols, each from 20 away...

All 1911s are gonna require a bit more maintenance. I have a USPc9 and I can strip that thing down in seconds. But I love the Sig 1911. You know what, you earned them. Get em both.
