Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of Robar's NP3+ coating on the Shield 9mm?

Robar's NP3+ coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making it ideal for everyday carry guns exposed to sweat and moisture. It also offers high lubricity, reducing friction, wear, and the need for traditional oiling, while making the firearm easier to clean.

How does the custom frame texture from Robar affect the Shield 9mm's handling?

The Robar texture applied to the frame significantly increases grip purchase, allowing for a more secure hold on the pistol. Despite its aggressiveness, it is designed to be comfortable against the skin during concealed carry.

What impact does the ported barrel have on the Performance Center Shield 9mm?

The ported barrel on the Performance Center Shield vents gases upwards, effectively reducing muzzle flip and felt recoil. This allows for faster and more accurate follow-up shots, especially during rapid fire sequences.

Is the modified Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm accurate?

Yes, the Robar-modified Shield 9mm demonstrates impressive accuracy. It can produce very tight groups at 14 yards, rivaling larger pistols, and successfully hit steel silhouettes at distances up to 75 yards.
