Agreed! For a mass produced product the issues have been minimal. I think it would be a good choice, if you can find one. & Welcome Shield, like your name/handle, somehow sounds familar LOL

Nothing is perfect but I nave not ever seen a gun that was so positively reviewed by most everyone that handles and shoots this pistol. I am still looking for an article that seriously slams this gun on any front other than more availability of guns and magazines. The reported number of small issues with this gun must make a tiny fraction of delivered pistols because they very seldom appear in forums other than obvious defects that S&W has, or will, correct at their cost.
This is my first M&P pistol and I think S&W really thought this gun out. I bought it because I am an instructor and I thought it would make a great pistol for student shooters of all sizes. I have only about 400 rounds of assorted factory and handloads butI have not had a malfunction of any kind. If you are looking for a reasonably priced "all purpose gun ", I think the Shield should really get your attention.

The Shield is a great pistol. I love mine and it performs flawlessly. I think you will be happy with the Shield.

Great pistol. I've had a great many back-up, off-duty type guns over the years. This is the best yet. The only way I can see to make it any more positive would be for S&W to get a .45 ACP version out to us as soon as possible, although I'm certain it will have to be a bit larger.

Issues?? We have two in the family and no issues with either one. Issues posted on the Internet are not always factual and many come from people who don't even own the product they make comments about.
We also have two M&P9 Compacts and in the 5-6 years we have owned them neither has had any issues as well.
The Shield is by far the best CCW handgun I have ever owned and it has replaced my 642 and 9 Compact as my daily carry gun. I think it will turn out to be the best new handgun introduced in 2012.

Put about 200 rounds through mine. No issues from the gun. For the price, quailty of the gun and how easy it is to carry its hard to beat it. Similar guns are several hundred dollars more. I forgot to mention the gun shoots like a full size gun. Only bad thing is the addiction it causes.

I'm speaking as a 3913 owner. My Shield is great but I just don't understand why theycan't make a standard length grip with a flat mag.
An 8 + 1 with a 3.5" barrel.

I've had my Shield since the week of the NRA show. She is most definitely a keeper! I've fired the better part of 1000 rounds through her since picking her up. Aside from frequently having to reload, she's much more fun to shoot than most anything in my safe. Fortunately I just ordered two more magazines so hopefully reloading will go a bit quicker... leaving me more time on the range to punch holes.
I am going to try to not shoot her quite as much in the future... otherwise I'll have to pick up a second Shield to share the burden!

Yep.. the Shield. It's got one big, nasty, glaring issue that sticks out like sore thumb. And this issue will keep me from purchasing one.
The issue: I can't find one in 9mm.

Love it ever since April. I probably have like 700 rounds through it. Not a problem eating anything I've thrown at it so far, even Tul. Conceals great. low recoil. Dream trigger. Sexy looking. Can not find a thing that I don't like about it other than I keep wanting to buy ammo and that is getting expensive. :P

Other than me wanting an extended thumb safety, the Shield is the best slim 9mm pistol I've shot or owned to date. I honestly think I found "the one".
Here is my review: A small Shield review I wasn't going to do....

I could not agree more. I have the .40 and Smith got this gun right! I was astounded be the lack of recoil. I have owned Glock 27's that were much snappier than my Shield. Before I put it in my carry rotation I need 300 rounds thru it. The 200 I have put down the tube have been flawless. The addition of the Apex hard sear and UTB pull is about 4 lbs. These additions will help me improve accuracy. Only complaint I have was with the sights not being installed correctly but an easy fix.

My 40 shield is a delight. The reported big kick of the .40 cal didn't happen. It was reported by those who were speculating that it would be there, but hadn't shot the weapon. There have been some reported mag drop issues by a minority of 40 shield owners, but I have not experienced that. Mine has performed rock solid. If I needed it, I would not hesitate to buy another. Its body hugging conceal-ability, functional reliability and trigger are reason enough to like this pistol.

I've had my Shield 9MM since April 18th, ABSOLUTELY A-OK so far. I put Talon Grip Panels on it and an APEX Duty/Carry Kit. Smooth like Frog Hair baby.

I am also miffed on any substantiate comlaints/issues other than the unavoidable nit pickers. I can't believe how good the gun fits my hand and how smooth of a shooter it is for the size. I have have Glocks and Xdm's and this is my favorite to shoot.

You guys have me convinced! I've been thinking about it and decided to get off my butt and at least hear the "Buzz". Sounds like another great S&W to me, Thanks.

If there are any "issues" with the Shield, then what are the issues ? Lets get specific.
I have the 40 Shield, and have NO issues with it. I think it, (the Shield), is the best thing going right now for a C.C. weapon. These things are selling like Tacos in Tijuana ! That many Shield users can't be wrong.
I am extremely pleased with mine.

I sold my Shield 9.
No problems with it -- it was an excellent pistol. I too am amazed at how few criticisms there have been, and how it does not seem to have any of the problems that seem inherent in other small but powerful pistols.
I sold mine because it did not fit my CCW "system." I am sticking with my S&W Mdl 642, and added a Mdl 42, for carry, because they fit in a pants pocket so well; and a family of full-size M&Ps (9, .40, .45) for range, vehicle, and open carry or winter belt carry. The Shield was just a touch too big for pocket carry. And I sold it knowing that, if I change my mind and think I need one to fill a niche, I can always get one in the future!

Very happy with my Shield 9mm. Have close to 500 rounds of various weight and types of ammo down range without a single issue, malf or gripe. Installed most of the Apex DCAEK in mine and it is even better. Haven't been able to get the rear sight off to install the USB yet BUT I will remedy that soon.
Over the years I carried everything from S&W 642, Kel Tec P3AT, Glock G23, Ruger LC9 to 1911s and still have each one of them BUT the Shield fits my needs as an all seasons EDC the best. Great balance between physical size, caliber and ammo capacity...

I guess "alot of issues" was not a good choice of words, while I have read the good reviews on this site, there have been for the lack of a better phrase the nit pickers with the shield. I guess I was trying the get the overall satisfaction with pistol. I think I have my answer,

Am I happy with my Shield 40...no I am not, I am elated and feel very lucky to own one of the first ones in my area, the only reason it is not a replacement for my M&P40C is that my Crossbreed holster has not yet arrived but it does sit in the console of my SUV everyday and everywhere!

Have you tried your Shield in your 40c holster?? My Shield fits in my Crossbreed ST that I had made for my M&P9c. It also fits my DeSantis OWB leather holster for my 9c...but not in my BladeTech.

I carried a 1911 of some configuration for many years and when I retired, I started carrying my 336ti and later an M&P 340 all the time. I have been looking for a really good semi for CCW for a long time. When the Shield came along I read everything that I could find about it and purchased the 9mm. I love this little gun. I have put about 300 rds through it and it has been flawless. I never liked the thickness of the Glocks and they did not point well for me either. I really like the Shield. Good ergos, good trigger, points well and with a slim grip andaccurate. I also have good sized hands and can get all of my fingers on the grip frame.

I put 900 rounds of FMJ and JHP through mine with no malfunctions before I sold it. I got $8 less than what I paid for it. I was very happy with it, but I simply like my PM9 better. The Shield was between my PM9 and M&P 9C.
Sold the Shield on a Friday and picked up a Springfield XDs on Saturday.

I have two, both in 9mm, only because the .40 hasn't shown up around here yet. I carry one almost daily, my son in law carries the other. (I'm letting him use mine until he can afford his own...then I get it back, and have a spare!) I have no complaints whatsoever, easy to carry, great shooter. Only complaint? I need more of the 8-round mags...

My .40cal shoots like a dream. I am a lefty so my only issue is the non-ambi thumb safety. Not a big deal since I leave it "off"...as do many righties. I think they should have left the safety off all together.
I am so happy with mine I am set to pick up a 9mm Shield for my with this Thursday (if it comes in, that is). Honestly, most of the negative feedback I have seen seems to be related to a specific weapon not functioning well and not to any overall design or engineering feature.
Don't sweat it...just get one in your hands and shoot it. You will not be disappointed.

Mine (in 40 cal) was out yesterday for the first time and fired more than 150 rounds perfectly. I like it so much that when I can find a 9mm when the buying frenzy dies down, I will get that also.
This is the smoothest 40 for its size that I have shot. The recoil is totally manageable and it is very accurate.
It if makes it to 500 rounds without problems, I will start using it daily. So far, I could not be more pleased.

Extremely happy with my 9mm. IDPA multiple times, mags dumped on hard cement, accurate, compact and reliable. Over 2000 rounds through it with zero issues. Zero, nada, zip. Not a single hiccup.

I love mine, but it is a bit big and heavy for front pocket carry....not too big, just not nearly as comfy and fast as the LCP (though I trust the shield a lot more than any of my mouse guns).

LOL!! I don't want to add another caliber to my inventory so I'm waiting on the .40
On the waiting list from my LGS. As soon as he gets one from Davidson's, I get my Shield.

I would suggest you don't go out and buy the Shield right away.
Do what I did.
Buy a Kahr CM9. Shoot 600 rounds send the gun back 3 times in 4 months get to know all the customer service reps by first name their birthdays and favorite hobbies.
Get real frustrated every range trip.
Next buy a Beretta Nano shoot 1,334 rounds of assorted ammo because the gun FTEs every 115 grain brand.
Spend your life on the Beretta forum trying to figure out why the gun is not reliable.
Now that you have wasted 2 cases of ammo and lost a head of hair from pulling it out you are now ready to appreciate a lonely life owning a Shield because you are not going to be wishing customer service happy birthday.

Do what I did.
Buy a Kahr CM9. Shoot 600 rounds send the gun back 3 times in 4 months get to know all the customer service reps by first name their birthdays and favorite hobbies.
Get real frustrated every range trip.
Next buy a Beretta Nano shoot 1,334 rounds of assorted ammo because the gun FTEs every 115 grain brand.
Spend your life on the Beretta forum trying to figure out why the gun is not reliable.
Now that you have wasted 2 cases of ammo and lost a head of hair from pulling it out you are now ready to appreciate a lonely life owning a Shield because you are not going to be wishing customer service happy birthday.

Well after several weeks I was finally able to get to the range & shoot my Shield, much to dismay & horror of some of my fellow posters who thought I had shot it some time ago LOL . I did say in several different posts that I had not got to shoot it yet, but still liked it on several other aspects anyway. So I've got a good ribbing about it , however it is a nice gun, put about 50 or so rounds through it, I'm happy to report it had no issues whatsoever, my wife liked it as well. So I'm happy with mine.
Great forum here lots of good info & we have fun along the way.

CGHelofxr,
First off, thanks for what you do; you airedales rock!
Now -- if you're still on here after all this positivity that's come your way -- my two cents' worth as a former Coastie brother (which means, of course, take everything I say with a grain of salt :
My Shield 40 is, as we used to say back in the day, "4.0" in all respects. I have probably 600 rounds downrange in the past month with zero problems -- zero. I've shot FMJ in several brands including Blazer, Federal, and Winchester, and Hornady JHP. My Shield is like the Energizer bunny with everything I feed it. I'm going to the range every week, and just love shooting it.
Reliable, good looking, great in the hands...if it was a woman, my wife would be after me with a skillet.
Any kidding aside, the Shield is the real deal. If you buy one and don't like it, I'll buy it from you, how's that?

I have a Springfield XD in 40 and wished the Shield 40 was out then. My Shield 9mm is fantastic, it's my favorite pistol to shoot.

Vigil617, my skin is to thick to have the one feeling I have hurt, I was just looking for input, looking around there seems to be several for sale and being a new product it seemed odd to have them being sold already.
BTW I should proably change my name to X-CGHelofxr

Seems like your wife may soon be happy with her own.
Great excuse to get another at least.

I could not agree with this more. In fact, S&W should use this line in their Shield advertising. Yea, like the Shield NEEDS any advertising.
