Just a follow up after putting 100 rounds through my Shield after I did some trigger work. The results are incredible. I shot it back to back against a stock Shield, as did that guns owner, and the differences are immense. I don't have anything to measure the trigger pull, but I'd guess the difference at a couple pounds, but the length of the pull, smoothness, and reset are the huge differences. The reset might be 1/8". The whole action is much smoother. Not to break my arm patting myself on the back, but I surpassed all expectations on this project. I'm very pleased.
