    First 100 rounds Shield 40

    I read S&W doesnt use the pretty blue box for the shield in an effort to make them more affordable for us, the concealed carrying consumer. You could go get an XDS, it comes with an awesome case... and is anywhere from $150 to $200 more when i priced them. I would rather get my shield in a...

    9mm Barrel in .40 Shield

    This is great! Now I am glad i ordered my shield in a .40. I have a full sized M&P 9mm and found out about the barrel switch possibility after purchase. I would have got the .40 in that too if I had known better, or my LGS had told me about it.

    Jealous, I applied for mine about 2 months ago... only another 3 months until I get it!! lol Oh well, it gives me time to figure what I want to carry anyway.

    Horrified store clerk

    What is the deal with that anyway? I can grab any bigger caliber rifle and shot load off the shelf I want, but I have to go find some goofball with a key to unlock the .22s me.

    zombie apocalypse?

    I have seen my fair share of morons looking at guns, trying to buy guns, shooting guns irresponsibly and proving to everyone around them that they are from the shallow end of the gene pool. And guess what, not one of them had anything to do with the "zombie fad". I love The Walking Dead, it's...

    New M&P 9 owner and already have a problem.

    The slide stop will losen up over time. I rented a M&P 9 and 40 before I bought mine, and both slide stops were lose enough you could chamber a round by releaseing it with ease. Who knows how many thousands of rounds those guns have seen? I have about 800 rounds through my 9 now, and you can...

    New M&P 9mm full size 4.25 barrel owner.

    I have the exact same gun and i havent had any issues like the ones you describe. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 rounds through mine. I have not had a single misfeed. I have shot Blazer Brass, Speer Lawman, Remington and Winchester White box (had one dud out of the 100 round...

    M&P 9 first gun, second gun 1911...???

    Thanks for the info, I will check out the Springfield guns. That VBOB looks really nice, the grip is awesome.

    M&P 9 first gun, second gun 1911...???

    Just got back from another good day at the range. I have put around 800 rounds through my M&P 9 and love every minute of it. The only issue I have had was one misfire out of the winchester white box ammo. I have shot remington, blazer brass and speer lawman with zero issues. For my first...

    American Guns

    all of those shows are scripted, and the masses would rather see some stupid cannon get made rather than a hand crafted 1911 out of a block of steel unfortunately. there are only a couple gun shows on TV and this one is more enjoyable to watch in my opinion... the little blonde doesnt hurt either.

    Does anyone have a good comparison of recoil between the SHIELD 9 vs 40 ?

    i rented both of them and shot them side by side to figure out what i wanted to buy. Like Houdini said, the .40 was snappy and the recoil pushed the barrel up compared to the 9mm. Although I liked the kick of the .40 better and it was a lot of fun to shoot, i could get on target and fire a...

    M&P 9mm ammo

    I am new to gun ownership and have had my M&P 9 for about 2 months. Blazer brass 115 grain and Remington 115 grain FMJ loads have been working fine on the range. I had one misfire with the winchester white box 115 grain. I have probably put 600 rounds through my gun with the one misfire being...
