Mine works too. I purchased the threaded barrel from Silencerco and a lighter recoil rod/spring off Amazon. I use my 40 mags in both the converted 40 and my 9mm Shield and they work fine. Accuracy is equal in both pistols. I would never carry the conversion or use the 40 mags for carry in the...

Correct use of a safety for self defense requires training to the point that turning it off is muscle memory, not brain memory. You will have no time to 'remember' things if you are confronted with the need to actually use a handgun. My first carry pistol was an M&P Shield in 40 S&W with no...

I am a big fan of 40S&W and reload both 9mm and 40. I would opt for the 9mm long slide for target only and plan to do so myself.

I recently purchased the M&P 40 Shield. I have two other 40's from Springfield and Sig. I used to have a Colt Delta Elite10mm and the 40 is just a small step down from that. I like the performance of the 40 and reload my own ammo so cost is not a factor. The M&P 40 has a tight recoil spring so...
