Sons use Federal HST in their carry, I use Lehigh/G9 'xtreme penetrator'....Both 100% reliable, both make a mess of the watermelon or cantelope we are shooting at.Federal Premium Tactical HST, P9HST1 124 grain.
I was debating between this and the 147 hst.
What's your experience?

I have a Shield in 40 cal and hated the grip also. Bought it cheap,almost new from a friend. It is a Performace Center model, so the trigger is pretty good, but that grip was not so good to me either. The Hogue grip sleeve made a huge difference.I have a 1st gen Shield, I hated the thing, was close to dumping it for a loss just to rid myself from it. Anyways, decided to add an Apex trigger, Ameriglo Hackatorn sights and a Hogue grip sleeve.
Now its a pretty darn accurate pistol and I carry it from time to time. I highly suggest the Hogue grip sleeve, I bought mine off Amazon for about 10 bucks, it completely changes the grip and controllability.
Close to $70 for a box of 50.Given the current ammo situation, whatever you can find. What are they asking for a box of premium carry ammo now, anyway? Before this mess it was .50 a round.
