Thread: S&W M&P Shield 9

    Default S&W M&P Shield 9

    Seems Smith & Wesson has just come out with a new model in their M&P line called the Shield. It is a small, "single stack" (actually very slightly double stacked to add just a little more capacity than a true single stack) pistol designed for very easy concealed carry. It is offered in both 9mm Luger and .40 S&W. Here are some of the basic stats:

    Model: M&P SHIELD™
    Caliber: 9mm or 40 S&W
    Capacity: 7 Round & 8 Round (in 9mm) 6 Round & 7 Round (in .40 S&W)
    Action: Striker Fire
    Barrel Length: 3.1" / 7.874 cm
    Front Sight: White Dot
    Rear Sight: White 2-Dot
    Overall Length: 6.1" / 15.5 cm
    Frame Width: .95" / 2.413 cm
    Overall Height: 4.6" / 11.684 cm (with the longer magazine in place)
    Weight: 19.0 oz / 538.7 g
    Frame Material: Polymer
    Barrel/Slide Finish: Black Melonite® 68 HRc
    Trigger Pull: 6.5 lbs. +/-
    Sight Radius: 5.3" / 13.3 cm


    It took me awhile but, after calling almost every gun dealer in a 200 mile radius I did finally find one that had one in stock. So, with only a little bit of begging I got my wife to consent to my picking it up. So far I am really impressed. This gun seems far and away superior to any of its other single stack 9mm competitors. I'm hoping to be able to get in some serious range time within the next week or so and I'll try to get some picture of how it performs.

    If it acts anything like it's big brother M&P it should excellent and more!
    9mm: Because I've seen a .45 bounce off of a windshield MORE THAN ONCE.

    9mm: Because even 1911 guys don't want to get shot with one of my "little" bullets.

    9mm: Because low round count single stack pistols suck in a gun fight!
