I have the regular Shield 45 and happy with it, but for those of you who like the Performance Center models, there is a new review out today:

Gun Review: Smith & Wesson Peformance Center M&P45 Shield .45 ACP - The Truth About Guns

Great review. I found the trigger of my PC 45 Shield to be the same, but since my usual EDC is a 686+ 3”, it was an easy adjustment. I do like the feel of the trigger reset, but opted for the fiber optic sights over the night sights. Using a Black Arch IWB holster, it conceals very well, particularly with the flush fit mag. S&W hit a home run for me with this gun. I’ve shot it at dusk to see if the ported barrel would pose an issue for me, which it did not. 230gr HST seemed to be my particular Smith’s favorite, so I got a bulk order from SG ammo to keep me happy for the foreseeable future. I’ll get some range pictures this next week. And probably a nice IWB leather holster now that I’ve done EDC with it since my move to MT back at the beginning of March.

LOL!!! Yep after carrying an L frame, the Shield would be very easy. I have a 686-plus in stainless 357 magnum, it's a beautiful beast.
