I may be taking a training class which requires use of a drop-leg style of holster (kydex), and I'll be running a Shield Plus. What brand of drop-leg gear do you recommend? Any to avoid? Thanks in advance ...

Shield Plus is my EDC .. in an IWB leather-wrapped kydex holster from versacarry. I run mine with green & red sights, no optic. My carry ammo is Hornady Critical Defense and the gun handles it just fine. The 10-round factory mag sits in a drawer. I carry with a 13-round mag in the gun and a...

All, I contacted s&w .. they're sending me a new spring assembly.

Cphobes .. your profile shows you in Weymouth .. I'm a former Mass-hole .. used to live between Lowell and Nashua, NH. As for why I need to replace the spring assembly .. the forward / barrel end of the spring assembly is showing wear. It's almost like the end of the coil is worn down and...

Greetings fellow s&w enthusiasts ... I'm needing to replace the recoil spring assembly on my 3.1" micro compact Shield Plus. Has anyone purchased this? Where did you buy it? Would the recoil spring assembly from the 1st gen "single stack" Shield be compatible? Best regards, Geo. P Burdell...

Hi All !!! Anyone out there have a recommendation for a trigger kit for the M&P 22 compact pistol? The other day I shot mine for the first time and I'm hoping to reduce the amount of take-up before I feel the trigger "wall". My goal is to have the trigger feel a bit more like the trigger...

Hi Keli ... I'm a former subject of the dark thumb of mAssachusetts tyranny. Now I live under the dark thumb of tyranny in IL. Yup, pretty much frying pan to fire if you get my drift. If you can, get the Smith M&P 22 as a companion piece to the 9mm Shield. I'm not sure if the m&p22 is "on...

Greetings Cphobe .. I'm a former "Mass-hole" living in north-metro greater Chicagoland region. Our gun laws in IL suck too. Watching SCOTUS and the "Snopes" and "Ocean State Tactical" cases with baited breath.

Another IL Resident here - I live in Lake County. Hey Bob .. you have a great idea. Maybe you should be our Emcee !!!

Greetings !! Edslead - welcome to the forum ... Greetings from Lake County, IL. Still a "collar county" but at least it's not "Crook" Cty. PICA sucks fetid and festering monkey butt. JB Putzker should be recalled. Brandon "Cone Head, I had another panic attack" Johnson should also be...

I'm looking to replace the "white dot" front sight on my Shield Plus with some sort of "high viz" fiber sight. Does the Shield Plus have the same front dovetail as the legacy Shield? Thanks ...

Greetings from Lake County, IL. I occasionally shoot at a club in Union Grove WI.

Greetings from Lake County, IL ... just picked up my first 1911 a couple months ago. I'm quite enjoying my first all-steel pistol, but Holy Brother of Moses, .45acp ammo is pricey !!

Greetings from another IL subject Greetings from Lake County, IL ... with the way things are going in this state, pretty soon the only guns we'll be able to buy will be revolvers and single-shot .22 rifles :eek:

I had one failure-to-eject with aluminum cased ammo in my Canik TP9. After confirming the stuck round was spent, I dropped the mag, racked the slide a few times and disassembled at the firing line. A bit of tap-tap-tap with a cleaning rod and the empty popped out. Buttoned it all back...
