I dont know if or how it works but it's been part of their marketing.

The SP Carry Comp said this, too.

Just showed up on my YouTube Looks like a Shield Plus with redesigned and extended grip so that there is now a 13 and 15 round option only. 3.6" barrel. Plus a rail. https://www.smith-wesson.com/products/shield-x https://www.guns.com/news/2025/07/28/smith-wesson-new-mp-shield-x...

God help your ears shooting that thing inside. My Colt Frontier is my loudest weapon next to my SMLE when it has the magnum cylinder, plus it shoots an impressive fireball out of the barrel.

I carry lefty so I wouldn't have that problem. I have never changed a mag release, I think hitting it not with your thumb is objectively better.

It's striker-fired, it doesn't need a safety unless you carry it bare in your pocket (which you shouln't do anyway). That said, if the safety doesn't function, send it back for re-work. Pretty much every new compact pistol is hard to get the last round in the mag, plus hard to insert such a...

Do you get bad groups off a sandbag? It's likely the gun is more accurate than you are. These things are also easier to diagnose with a dot since it gives you a better idea how much the gun is moving.

I recommend you find the latest Ben Stoeger video on YouTube, it's him & Joel Park. Their basic advice is not to throw parts at a gun until it's solving a problem you have with it and only once you understand the gun enough to be able to tell what it does. Different people want their guns to...

No one has mentioned this yet: A small pistol is harder to shoot than a large pistol. Pistols are flat out hard to shoot accurately under stress. Cops fire off entire mags without hitting anything. Don't think you will be different. Smaller pistols (especially with iron sights) have a...

I guess if their specs are bad they produce bad parts. This bugs the crap out of me as a former manufacturing manager. Sending it to them at least makes them see the problems their bad specs create.

send it back and make them fix it or give you a new slide. Either mine did not have this problem or there was enough play in my optic to account for it.

I would send it back for rework before dropping money into it. Mine is smooth and crisp, excellent for a striker pistol.

All I earned in this thread is that people insist on carrying in a pocket without a holster despite all reccos against doing so. Buy holsters, people.

buy newer handguns then

Too many abbreviations, but anything that makes you shoot better is a good thing. At this point it's absolutely proven as good tech. Avoiding it is just avoiding change to spite yourself. You can see the sights through mine if it quits working.
