    Awesome Holster for your Shield

    For those of you that are still looking for a good, inexpensive IWB kydex holster, I just got two Kestrel holsters for my Shield 9, one with a quick belt clip and one with the tuckable clip. Let me just say that these things are awesome. And they are only $30 a pop. Fit and retention are spot...

    Any ideas why Smith & Wesson made the M & P Sport without

    Yeah you are probably right. So it would just be the material savings and machining cost of just those features

    Carry Pistol

    I CCed my Pro CORE 5" 9mm for about 3 months and just got tired of the extra bulk, but it can be done. I used a Comp-Tac Minotaur IWB for mine and it worked great. I recently purchased a Shield 9MM to CC and I am much more comfortable. I live in FL and wear shorts and a tee almost year round, so...

    Any ideas why Smith & Wesson made the M & P Sport without

    The short answer is to save money.From a manufacturing standpoint, the upper is machined from a solid piece of 7075 aluminum. If you look at the attached pic, to have the forward assist and the dustcover features machined out of the solid "chunk", the material has to be over 2" nominal...

    M&P Pro 5"

    I carry my Pro CORE 5" IWB with a Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC holster as my EDC. And use it at the range. And shoot USPSA with it. I was going to get a shield a my EDC, but did not feel like spending the extra dough. Also I just felt so confident in the accuracy of this one, so I just ponied up for a...

    Holsters that fit the Pro C.O.R.E. 5"

    Here are two holsters that I know will accommodate the taller sights that come on the Pro C.O.R.E. models and cover the front sight so it does not get hung up on the draw. Bladetech Revolution OWB: This is the one that comes with the carry & range kit. You can find it for $25-$30 all day long...

    9mm M&P mags availability

    I got 2 extra Pro Mags 2 weeks ago and have shot 30 rounds trough each of them and they are fine thus far. Only time will tell how they hold up.

    At What Distance?

    Did you mean yards? You said 8-10 feet in your post. If you are not satisfied with the results at 10 feet something is up. I'm no expert hand gun marksman, in fact I just started shooting last week, but something is amiss if you cannot get an accurate AND precise group at 10 feet. That's only...

    M&P slide to frame fit *update 11/8*

    My Pro CORE looks like that also, but seems a little less exaggerated than yours. I put 600 rounds through it over the weekend and the only problem that I had was two FTE's from the first box of PMC Bronze ammo. My Take down lever snaps back into place on its own, and everything else seems fine...

    M&P9-1st shoot-- slide jammed w live shell

    I am new to handguns and just joined this forum a week ago after I purchased my M&P, so take my info as just my personal experience. I believe it is the ammo that is causing your problem. While my FTE's (2 out of the first box of PMC ammo) were not as severe as yours, It did surprise me. I have...

    New to handguns

    I purchased an M&P Pro CORE 9mm last week after having not shot a handgun since I was in the military 20 years ago. I must say i was pleasantly surprised by this weapon! I shot it for the first time Friday and went again today (Sunday). The small target is from Friday at 5yards and the large...
