    What do you think S&W should have included with the Shield?

    Actually I disagree with your idea that levers that go in toward the body don't add thickness. If those levers rub against you all day long day after day they become an irritant. If you choose to use a holster that comes between your body and those levers you add to the thickness of the gun...

    VTAC sights on a Shield?

    Standard M&P sights will fit but the rear sight will be wider than the dovetail in the slide. You will end up with a sharp corner protruding off each side of the slide. I expect those corners would do a nice job of slicing your hand open while racking the slide. I suppose you could file off...

    What do you think S&W should have included with the Shield?

    The cardboard box is fine and should be expected at this price point. I do wish Nite sights had been offered as an option. The ambi safety or bigger safety would have made the gun thicker and taken away part of it's appeal. If they made it thicker I would have just gone on with my 9C.

    Newly Stippled Grips VIDEO ADDED

    Streak yours look hot. Sort of like the girls in the Sports Illustrated swim suit issue.

    Bit by the Shield bug

    The white dots seem to be paint, so I'm scratching my old head about the glue thing.:D Probably just some kind of Arkansas joke. They changed the abbreviation for Arkansas from AR to AH in honor of the Clintons.:D

    Good News, Good News........

    I'm assuming the red orange with green tritium but don't really know. I wasn't presented with a choice. I believe the red orange is the only color choice for the M&P.

    Shield 9mm Going for More Than $600

    I really laugh at that. I carry IWB every day with an empty chamber and full magazine. It really isn't Rocket Science. If you train that way, you develop the habit of racking the slide as you draw your weapon. You say that's crazy! Tell the Elite Israeli units who have been doing this for...

    Good News, Good News........

    one of the problems with our Shields is the manufacturers of sights weren't geared up for the Shield. I ordered a set of XS Big Dot sights. They accepted my order then came back and said it would be 2 weeks as they don't have them in stock. I cancelled that order as I want sights. I talked...

    Shield 9mm Going for More Than $600

    I think some are forgetting the purpose behind the design of the Shield. It isn't really much smaller than the 9c until you take into account it's thickness. When you decide to design a gun as thin as possible it can no longer be ambi. Take for example the thumb safety on the Shield as...

    Ordered a Shield 40 today

    I would think that if you are finding that many in stores in your area, they are probably price gouging. There are far too many people seeking these guns literally all over the U.S. for local shops in your area to be able to keep them in stock continuously unless they are pricing them too high...

    Bit by the Shield bug

    Actually later in the day I took care of the problem permanently. I ordered a set of XS Big Dot sights for it. I don't believe the tritium vial will jump out of that front sight.:D

    Shield HOLSTERS

    I had a Remora for a Sig P238. Got rid of the Sig and got the 40 Shield. It was a very tight fit in the Remora, so I began stretching it a little at a time and now it fits like a glove.:D

    Bit by the Shield bug

    So I called S&W customer service and told them about the dot coming off of my front sight. I was told I'll have one in the mail for you today. You can't ask for better customer service than that unless he had told me I'll have one in the mail for you yesterday.:D

    Bit by the Shield bug

    I went outside and fired it and the magazine stayed in place but the white dot on the front sight didn't. Now how do I find that little white dot? It's sort of like hunting a needle in a haystack.:D

    Bit by the Shield bug

    I went to the LGS and a 40 Shield came home with me. It can now join the 45fs & 9c. I guess that would be Papa Bear, Mama Bear & Baby Bear. Watch out for that innocent looking little one it bites.:D

    Did the paint thing on Shield

    Were they an old time radio comedy team? Sort of like Amos & Andy or the like?:D

    How many rounds is too many?

    I don't know how things are in the service today so I suppose I will have to ask. If you were sent to Afghanistan today would the Army issue you a new weapon or would you get a used one? Does every soldier today get his own personal new weapon? Does every policeman who carries a department...

    S&W M&P Semi-Auto Pistols Quiz!

    If the OP doesn't have enough mechanical know how to study an M&P and figure these things out, he will never be a competent gunsmith. This guy needs to work on "water pistols".
