Feedback on Smith and Wesson Shield

[axisbuck24]

Reaching out to the green screen to see if they have any feedback. A friend of mine is looking at possibly purchasing this handgun if they can get their hands on one.

So far I am really impressed with mine. Shoots well, works fine. Being a Glock guy it took awhile to get used to the slimmer grip. I wuld highly recommend one.

Glad to hear, option two is the Glock. Thought the slimmer fit would be great for a ladies hand.

I don't own one but my Lieutenant carries one and he loves it. Says it shoots well and is easy to carry. Looks like it would be a great CC gun. The reviews that I've seen have been positive.

I'm in for this thread. I am interested in the shield to replace what I now carry. I've seen several reviews and all are good. I just can't find one in the stores.

Hitting the San Antonio gun show this weekend to find one myself.

Tough to find.....missed one at a Northside Academy by one day...darn the luck!


From what I've researched, it's one of the best small framed pistols out there and many L/E types are now using it for their backup gun. As it is....very hard to find since they are in serious demand right now.

Thanks for the feedback... Guess someone is going shield searching.

Anyone know the going price for one?

I have on in a 40. Shoots and carries well. S&W have had problems with the mags falling out while shooting in the 40, they fixed that now.

If it lives up to the rest of the M&P line then it should be a great gun. I was looking for a single stack 'glock style' pistol a few years ago and went with the Walther PPS 9mm as my CC gun. If the shield had been available then I probably would have gone that route.
Good Luck.

$440ish

I have the 9mm, Out of the 5 people that have shot it all of them have purchased one or are trying to find one to buy. It just shoots good. I have about 7--rounds thru mine and no hick ups.

There is one big problem with the M&P Shield........

....getting your hands on one.

[Christianhuff]

Had one in my hands at academy yesterday in 9mm and didn't buy it

[BoneDigger]

Had one for a while. It was fine. Nothing spectacular about it. I shoot a 9c and didn't find enough difference to warrant keeping it. I now have a LC9 and actually kind of like it better though I know I'm in the minority on that.
