I might end up getting one in the future but so far happy with my shield. I did go with the 4" barrel, not sure if I'm regretting that yet or not lol. I almost couldn't pass it up, I found it online at a pawnshop for $600 so I figured there might be some marks or something on it but it showed up looking brand new and saved me about $250

You know I always trade guns so I don't have to come out of pocket for them (translated-get permission to buy another, lol). But, I am on the hunt for a Dan Wesson. I really want it in 9mm for 2 reasons. The biggest reason is so I don't have to keep an inventory of another caliber. The other is capacity. I know it is only 1-2 bullets extra depending on the model. But.... Man, if you were here we would be going. I am going Saturday morning to a class about Constitutional Carry that just passed in Texas. I will still keep my LTC but I am constantly asked questions about Constitutional Carry. No one really seems to know details about it. There is a lot of bad info out there so I am trying to get my information so I will be able to answer some questions about it. Most people think that they just would have no reason to have an LTC anymore. But, I think there are really advantages to maintaining it. After this class I will be putting about 300 rounds through the 509 and the Shield Plus.

I rented the Performance Center Shield Plus at the range last month. The trigger is crisper and lighter than my stock Shield Plus. Probably one of the better values in factory customized pistols. I didn't notice much difference in muzzle flip from the porting, but I suspect I'd notice only with hyperspeed lightweight bullets. I was mostly shooting 147-150 gr rounds at 850-900 fps, which already feel pretty soft. In repeated shooting, typical of practice sessions, the hi-viz fiber optic front sight got dirty quickly from blast though the ports. After every magazine load I'd use a cotton swab to wipe the front sight. In a typical defensive scenario this wouldn't be a problem.

I've carried the Shield Plus for three months, IWB appendix and hip, no problems. But I always wear wicking fabric undershirts, even in summer. Helps evaporate sweat better. I don't feel the sandpapery Shield Plus grip texture. Been doing that for years, starting when I had to dress up for work but also had to work outdoors in Texas summer heat. Reduces sweat marks on good shirts too. At the moment my Shield Plus is wearing a Pachmyr grip sleeve. Tried it at the range this week. On the plus side, it tames felt recoil from snappy loads in the little pistol. And the slightly rounded side panels fit my palms better so it's easier to control the pistol in rapid fire. The plain grip frame panels don't make contact with my palms so control feels compromised. No problems hitting the target zones in double taps and 3-shot Mozambique drills. Without the Pachmyr grip panels I tended to occasionally miss the head shot unless I slowed down. On the down side, the Pachmyr material doesn't grip as well in sweaty hands as the original Shield Plus grip frame. So for practical purposes in hot weather I'll remove the Pachmyr grip sleeve. Or I might cut the Pachmyr grip sleeve apart, use 3M double sided tape to affix the grip panels, but cut off the part that covers the front strap and back strap.

Identical. The differences are the trigger has been worked and the ported barrel. The trigger is improved. The ported barrel I honestly can't tell the difference but it sure looks cool. LOL

You buy a tool to do a job. Whistles and bells are not the issue. I did not hear you say the PC was a better shooter, only that it was way cooler, in your mind.

I would basically agree with that. The trigger is a little smoother. But, for the most part it is just neat. Not really worth the difference in price.

You didn’t cover why the plus is gone?

I had a regular Shield and then got the PC and I found it to be smoother and slightly more accurate. Definitely a noticeable difference. When I got the Plus I wanted the PC but couldn't find one. Then of course I get the Plus and a month later find the PC on the shelf. So, I traded the Plus and bought the PC. I do have to say now that I shot the PC it is not as big of an improvement as it was when you compared the Shield to the Shield PC. As a matter of fact I would not be able to tell the difference between the 2 to be honest. Had I to do it over I would have just kept the Shield.

@@DadsGarageDIY Could you clarify ^^^ please? I'd like to know if the PC version trigger is smoother than the Plus base model trigger. I own the Shield9 1.0 and just picked up a Shield Plus as you did. I find myself with buyers remorse that I didn't buy the Shield Plus PC w/ported barrel and fiber optics. I feel my Plus trigger is rough and wonder if the PC trigger has been worked on by the PC and is SIGNIFICANTLY better. I don't care about the porting or sights, it's all about the trigger for me. BTW I agree with you on the too rough grip texture and I've already color filled my Plus with 24K gold. The color contrast is spectacular.

@@voiceofreason9238 Hi Voice of Reason. With the original Shield my answer would be yes. The original Shield PC in my opinion is a fairly significant improvement in every way. 1 being the trigger. But, going from the Shield Plus to the Shield Plus PC I can't really say I see much difference. I am kind of disappointed that I spent the extra money to get nothing improvement that I can detect. With that said I did not detect having any issue with the trigger being gritty on the Shield Plus. I thought it was quite good. I am thinking that I would put 500 rounds through it and see if it doesn't clean it up. When I got my FN the trigger was really gritty and I just couldn't stand it. But, after 500 rounds it got very smooth. I would go have a nice day and put about $200 worth of bullets through it. Doesn't that suck the we used to be able to go out and run 500 rounds for under $50? Let me know what you end up doing and if you opt to put some rounds through it let me know if it doesn't clean up after 500 or so.

@@DadsGarageDIY Thanks, very helpful. That's exactly the clarification I was looking for. I would happily have spent the extra $50 if the trigger innards were polished for a smoother trigger pull. Since there's not much difference I won't worry any more about what I might be missing.

I put a down payment on mine yesterday. I’m just waiting to get paid in 10 days. The Performance Center shield plus is an awesome gun. I was going to buy a sig P365 but I liked Performance Center better specially since it had a ported barrel the 13 round mag. I already own the full size Performance Center 40caliber, I thought it was finally time to get I Micro com pack 9mm. Honestly you bought a better quality gun I think. The ported barrel really reduces a lot of recoil. I was amazed it was extremely lightweight especially holding 13 rounds plus 14 in the chamber. Having those extra 3 or four rounds could be a matter of life and death in a shootout that you were not expecting. You never want to get in a situation where you are outgunned and don’t have a chance.

Very nice! It is an awesome gun. I used to have a 365. I tend to trade a lot. Anytime something new catches my eye I trade. I will 1st say not every gun is for everyone. They are kind of like tennis shoes. Nike works well for one where the next guy it doesn't. For me, I like the Shield Plus better. Just feels better to me. Nothing wrong with the 365. It is a great gun. Just for me the Plus feels better. I agree with the capacity comment 100%. Capacity is super important. With stress, a possible moving target, and other factors you will be significantly less accurate than when shooting at practice. No matter how much practice you get. So, capacity if super important. Great choice. I do hope you will subscribe if you have not already. Thanks so much for the comments Steve.

I don't think it's a ported barrel . Slide , yes. And the gasses are released after the ports so it doesn't act like a compensator. It looks nice and reduces like a gram or two of weight. Looking to get mine soon.

@@JoeMama-hl5qc Yes sir. Fortunately it’s not just for looks or a bit of weight reduction. That new Kimber I got it has just a “ported” slide but not a barrel. But, the Shield PC and Shield Plus PC actually are ported.
