I want to conceal carry my new sheild 9. Will this kit reduce the trigger pull too much? Has anyone carried their sheild with this kit?

It lightened it a tad but made it much smoother. I carry it with this trigger installed knowing I can hit my target much easier than with the stock trigger that was gritty and stiff. It definitely does not make the shield unsafe for concealed carry or it would not be in my weapon. I doubt that you will notice the difference in weight of pull but you will surely notice the difference in smoothness which will keep your front sight on target.

If you install all the suff that comes with the kit the trigger pull will be around 5-51/2 lbs pull...if you leave all the stock springs it will be around 4-41/2 lbs pull. IMO a 5 lbs pull is perfect for ccw!

You'll be fine, it will put it at around 5.5lbs - unless you adjust the transfer bar to tip the sear sooner

If you install this kit with the included springs I believe your pull will be about five pounds, and much smoother. I think you'll really appreciate the difference this kit makes. If you want to swap in a new set of sights this would be the time to do that too.

I carry mine daily. No,in my opinion the trigger pull poundage is reduced by about 3lbs. Still leaving it over 5lbs. The big difference is in the smoothness of the pull. The trigger take up distance is still adequate in my opinion.

I also use mine for conceal carry, I put this item in my shield and works perfect

Edward, if you plan on using this for CCW I would not do it. If it is a clean shoot the reduced trigger weight won't be an issue but if there are any gray areas, any conflicting eye witness accounts, you accidently shoot a innocent bystander, you could be facing both criminal and civil charges. http://smith-wessonforum.com/concealed-carry-self-defense/419191-facts-about-light-trigger-pull-liability.html

Sorry my friend. I have a ruger with the regular magazine that extens a bit below. It fits fine a little snug which is good. I really like mine I carry everywhere but the bank and church. Hope you get your answer. I am thinking about getting a 9 myself.

I installed this kit on my non-MA compliant Shield myself and love it. It brought the trigger pull down a great bit and I definitely recommend this kit. After switching out the components it only took me a few rounds down range to get used to the crisp pull. You won't regret buying this trigger kit.

That's a personal decision. I've used these with Glocks, Kahrs, and M&Ps;, I always carried them with one in the pipe. I couldn't conceive a way that something would make its way into the trigger guard. Just practice with it and make sure you keep your finger indexed until the weapon is clear of your clothing.

Never tried it, I always do the 4 o'clock, I'd say it's the MOST comfortable IWB I've ever worn! EXELENT QUALITY and detail on the leather work to cover all rivets with leather on the body side. I'd think it would be ok for the appendix carry, but would think it might be a bit long if you'd need to be sitting. Maybe look at the regular infidel. I also have one of their OWB paddles that is equally as comfortable and VERY low profile, and could be an option if you considered an OWB. Either way great stuff and I will be adding others to the collection

Yes. You can see the string thing in the lower left corner of the picture. When the pouch is closed, this hangs out between where the 2 zippers meet. You give it a quick pull at an angle with your left hand(if your right handed) and draw the gun with your right. It is very fast! The gun in the picture is setup for a left hand draw. My XDM 9mm fits in it, also my Kahr 9mm. From the front the whole thing looks flat, so it does not look like a gun pouch.

I just bought a $20 nylon ambidextrous holster at gander mountain. The key is to make sure, like with all holsters, that it covers your trigger. I believe it was a gun mate.

I personally don't keep a chambered round with my LC380 only because of no safety my LC9 is a different story because of safety- just personal preference. I don't believe it would be an issue anyway as the trigger pull on both aren't light- pulling out wouldn't be an issue and i have never had the trigger catch while sitting down. I usually wear small of back or front off center. Hope this helps you

I carry a glock 40 with no problems. I don't see any problems with your springfeild.

Hold, yes. Draw quickly and easily, not so much without lots of practice and probably not even then. I carry an M&P; 9c and that seems to be a good fit for the opening. I would reccommend moving up a size in bag for a larger pistol. Great quality bags. This one is just a bit smaller than it looks.

The Bulldog case work's well if you want to go without a cover garment. Access is pretty quick and as with all new holster, practice is necessary and recommended. Other modes of carry should be dictated by weather, apparel, and personal preference for comfort. Just practice with whatever you choose so that if the need arises, you will at least be able to defend yourself. Good luck and stay safe.

It was a drop in for my M&P; L 9mm 5 inch pistol. If the shield has the same mechanism then it would fit. But I think you will use the shield for concealed carry. Trigger is too light for carry but no problem for range use.

I purchased the extra small for a springfield XD9 subcompact. And it worked fine. Then purchased a leather for OWB. And now use it for a Sig P232SL, and it works great. Doesn't take up much room IWB. But once you remove the hand gun, I have to undo my belt to replace the gun. But works well. They recommend not having a round in the chamber when carrying.

Yes. There should be plenty of room. I have a 380 Smith & Wesson Body guard with a laser. It is a little larger than my 9mm. It fits really well also. You should have no problem. The next size up would be too big and it would be floating in the pack. Love mine!

I use the Laser Max on a 9mm shield. No recoil problem there. Just acquired one in .40 but haven't taken it to the range yet. I like the Galco IWB STO226 for the .40 (no LaserMax) and a Talon IWB holster for the 9 with LaserMax. they are both very comfortable and conceal well.
