Thumbs up Hello from Chicago!

Just saying hi, I just picked up a new Performance Center M&P 9 Shield for my new daily carry for now, so I figured I’d join the forum. This is my very first Smith and Wesson ever, I’ve always gravitated toward Sig’s and Springfield’s. I’m interested to learn as much as I can from you all.

Anyone have any recommendations for best carry holster and Ammo?

Do these shields like a certain brand or does it even matter with these 9mm’s?

Welcome from Cincinnati. Through 1200 rounds with my 9mm shield, I've had no failures using a lot of different ammo. Mine so far eats everything I feed it. As for holsters I like Alien Gear tuckables.

Welcome to the forum. Mine eats all ammo I've tried. Just over 600 rounds. You need to get a Uplula mag loader. Not sure who made the holster but I got it off Amazon.

Glad to have you.

Like others have said, the Shields are not picky eaters.

Welcome from the bootheel of Missouri, the Show Me State . . .

Lots of good advice here. Ask your question where the holster, concealed carry and carry gear people hang out, and you'll get more ideas than you ever thought possible . . .
