Both get easier at around the 250-500 round mark.

Thanks, that's good to know and what I was hoping for. I did notice today that it was a little easier loading rounds into the mags as well. I thought my thumb was going to be permanently bruised after shooting it the first time. I've never had as much pain in my thumb from loading mags on any other day of shooting in my life. And I've done some 700-800 round days before - with multiple guns.

I'm finally getting around to taking a conceal carry class tomorrow and will be putting at least 50 more rounds through it then. Bringing 100 rounds with me so I'll probably stay after and finish off the box.

I will say I shot it much better today. The trigger takes some getting used to. The take up(travel) before the break is a bit more than I'm used to on my 1911's and then it takes a good bit more pressure to get it to break. I'd read some reviews that the trigger feels "gritty" on some Shields and that is true. I will be dropping an Apex kit into it soon.
