I also have a 45 Sheild that's about nine months old and it has the machine markings on the center rail on the underside of the slide. I also have a 40 Shield that is about two months old and has a totally smooth slide rail, with no markings. Both pistols rack fine and have never had any reload...

I have Ruger SR40C and my M&P 40 Shield fits a holster I have for the Ruger. For car carry I bought a Fobus Standard Kydex Left Hand Hand Paddle or Belt carry holster made for the Ruger SR9/40. I took off the mount(s) and drilled two new top holes, canted it as I liked it, back drilled the...

A few weeks ago I got a 40 cal Shield (NS) for $319.00 with free shipping at Palmetto State Amory. Thy cut the price $60 - was $379.00

I also got one (8/3/16), ordered it for my birthday. I got ammo, just need to go to the range.

In the summer I wear a belly band (AlphaHolster Belly Gun Holster) with holster(s) and two mag pouches. Wear a loose shirt over it and you have no problems. I wear mine on the left side like an appendix carry with the top of the bellyband about 1/2" above my pants top. I carry a M&P 45 Shield or...

I agree about the front end slide grip machining. I wish they would spent that cost on a formed front light/laser picatinny mount on the frame. (My Ruger SR40c has that front mount and I really like that Ruger included it.)

Hi guys, my first post... My birthday was Aug 1st , so I ordered myself a M&P 45 Shield, no safety, from an online dealer in Phoenix, AZ for $414, and shipped free to my FFL. I haven't had a chance to fire it yet but I have thoroughly cleaned it, oiled it, and worked the action by hand about...
