Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.

The forum is divided into categories of firearms. You need to post your question in this category: http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/ so that people more familiar with it will see it.

I have the 9mm Shield, but don't know the answer to your question. Good luck.

Welcome from Wisconsin!

If the Shield is anything like the .40 Compact then the answer is yes. All that needs to be done on an M&P40C or full size M&P40 is to swap barrels with one in 9MM. Purists may claim that the recoil spring assembly should also be changed although I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the stock RSA. I know after market barrels are available for those two but last time I checked with S&W (it was a while ago) barrels weren't available from the factory. Of course you'd also need 9MM mags to complete the conversion.

Like I implied - I THINK it's possible with a Shield.
