M&P9 Shield Review

[Fried Chicken Blowout]

The photos and stuff won't carry over from my blog so I'm posting a link to my review. Hopefully that's okay with the moderators. At the destination you'll find a review of my initial impressions of the M&P9 Shield that I just received and did a little work on. They are worth the wait!

I have a buddy that just bought a Shield. He really likes it.

I've been eyeballin the shield myself. I carry a Kahr CW9 in the summer and the trigger is just way too long on it.

I was carrying a P9 or PM9 and never actually liked shooting them. The Sield is very enjoyable to shoot. I have sensitive hands due to arthritis and the Kahr pistol bothered me, where as the Shield does not. That maybe se of an approved grip shape but I also think is recoils less. It's a good buy and you should enjoy it over the Kahr.

Nicely done!

There are a few 9mm and .40 shields in stock at Sportsworld in Tulsa today, they had sold over a dozen before noon...

Now that these guns have been out for a while, is there any new news? Are they still the "next best thing" or were they just hype that lost its fizzle?

 

[jeffhughes]

I love mine(9mm). 1500 or so rounds down range, no failures.

I run it through the Steel Challenge stages at USSA regularly. Fun gun to shoot.

The only things I have done to mine are Talon Grips and Trijocon HD night sights.

I like the idea. Is the top end skinnier than a standard M&P? These are single stack guns correct?

Yes and yes.
I like mine. It's a toss up which one I carry, the Shield 9mm or the G19.

 

[jtischauser]

Anyone run one along side a Ruger LC9?

 

[Burk Cornelius]

 

[jtischauser]

Damn M&P still looks good when it's tiny.

 

[stan686]

and a much better trigger pull vs. the LC9

 

[mike cyrwus]

Not a true single stack, there is some stagger to the rounds in the mag

 

[jtischauser]

WTS LC9 w/crossbreed holster cheap. PM me.

 

[mike cyrwus]

an OK review, not particularly good, just OK.

Are those your actual guns Burk or are you stealing them from the Internet ?
