Since i'm pretty much set on the 507K, I will be getting the DPP Titanium plate because its more available than CH something plates and like half the cost. The reviews have been good on DPP via YT.  And if I go EPS carry, it's the same plate.

Got and it!  The 507k is a fraction of the case of .45 ACP you broke you 1911 in with.

I have the CH plate.  Will see how it fits with the EPS Carry when I pick up my 48 MOS later today. . .

When I saw him last week, he mentioned a shipment coming in.  I think he mentioned SCS (go buy a Glock) and I THINK one of the K models.

EPS Carry comes with plate and has extra bosses/studs for mounting.

Yeah. I ordered the plate before I had the EPS.  The 43x was milled for the Holosun K or RMRcc footprint, so was direct mount. Used the screws that came from the shop that did the milling.

Leupold Deltapoint? The Shield slide is cut for that foot print? If I get a DPP later, you can have my Romeo 1 cheap, or I can consider giving it to you if you get tazed.  :D

I tried to look if the 407/507k also came with adapter plate, but couldn't tell for sure. 

I'm holding out for the EPS Carry and regular versions to come back in stock at Eurooptic.  But if I see them come back in stock at say Midway, Brownells, CHPWS, etc, I might just get one.  Or maybe try out the 407/507k that they have in stock at EO.

Initial thoughts after shooting? 

I didn't end up getting to hit the range with the 43x.  Probably mid-Sep until I get to shoot it.  Debated hitting up 808 in the meantime.  ;D

What HP load did you end up choosing?  I've been shopping around for some.  Just waiting to see what comes back in stock for a next order with Kaleo.

I shot a good group at 5yrds, so went to 15yrds to see what I can do if HPD requires the armored car test for CCW. All my shots were low left outside of a basketball size. So I immediatly used my VP9 and 8 of 10 were inside basketball and of that 8; 6 were inside jabone. So I thought it's prob the new gun break in.

I then shot another 100rds at 5 yrds and went back to the 15yrds. This time I was much better. Like 7 of 10 inside basketball, and of the 7; like 4 inside jabone.

I was watching an old Tier1 Concealed RDS vid (2 years old) and 1 guy was running the P365 and mentioned that 15yrds is pushing the limit for a small gun, let alone anything at 25yrds.

So I'm just trying to justify my accuracy diff between the VP9 and Shield at 15yrds.

But overall, I like the Shield. Like i've stated prior,it has a specific role (polo shirt tucked into slacks IWB). Aloha shirt untucked will be VP9.

I used Gold Dot 124gr (non +). And did notice it's snappier than range 115gr FMJ. But both at 5yrds was inside golf ball (slow to moderate fire). Rapid fire (mag dump) was basketball at 5yrds.

1) That is one of the biggest reasons I decide to take the plunge and buy a 43x and shoot, test, evaluate, etc for myself.  Need/want to know for myself.  As well as have them as others get into micro/slim/etc pistols.  I eventually want to shoot them in carry optics.  I don't have the IWB holster for the 43x yet, but I can def see how the slim body can help, also be "different" as well. 

2) VP9SK? I haven't shot a Shield in years, but I recall it being a solid pistol.  That I liked over the 42 and 43.

3) I have a bunch of that same GD for my 19s and 17s.  I haven't chrono'ed them, but I thought velocity was similar to factory 115 gr FMJ range fodder.  I now have a chrono that is more convenient for pistols, so can do more testing.  I thought you were going with the Federal?

It's just a VP9.  I have 1 box HST which I have in my VP9 and P10C. And 4 boxes of GD. So I'm running GD in the Shield. Either are good options, it's just whats available. When I got the GD, HST was sold out (SEC). THis last trip to Vegas, I didn't have time to go to any gun stores to see if they have HST.

I just rotated (shot) my HST that was in the VP and P10 like a month ago. Which is why I'm down to 1 box.

I meant you should try/check out the SK version. 

You should buy more ammo. . .

I did, but I got a thing of owning 2 of the same gun and the SK is too close to the VP. Same reason why I never bought a P30 or like platform, the grips are the same. When I buy another gun, I pretty much want something "new". Like VP9 to M45 to Shield Plus. Personal preference. Cause I got a friend who has multiple of the same gun.
