Smith Wesson MP Shield 9mm

I also have a MP9 shield I am very happy over all but it is very stiff and my wife has a hard time loading the clip and pulling the action back . we have only put about 75 rounds though it and it is braking in nicely

Yeah, my wife didn't like the M&P Shield 9mm. She went with a S&W Model 60 .357 magnum revolver. She liked the heavier frame with less kick and no slide with a stiff spring! No safety, just point and shoot. Although the trigger pull is strong enough to be a safety.
