I recalled reading several months ago a story that the S&W Shield was designed to fill a need for a military personnel to conceal while in dress uniform.
I took some time after your post to verify what I read if it was accurate and to date I am unable to determine with certainty if the claim is true.
I stand corrected due to the fact I cannot verify the story which has been posted on the Internet as factual.
My apologies for posting without fact checking.
I can say M&P stands for Military & Police and the full size version has been issued to some law enforcement agencies.
Is the Shield built to the standards of a duty weapon like the full size version?
I have no idea but this much I know the Shield is the first CCW I have owned that has gone bang everytime I have pulled the trigger.
Maybe in a couple years someone will post their 25k round review and at that time we will know if the Shield is worthy to carry the M&P logo.
