45 Caliber Shield??

[DocSunShine]

I'll pass and stick to the FS 45.

I LOVE my FS 45, it is the grand daddy in my collection!

Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck is an FS 45????

I think the FS = Full Size M&P. If I wanted a small 45 acp, I would be looking for a CS45 to be my CS9's big brother. In second place would be a Glock 36. It's acp for me (you could not give me a GAP - I don't need a new caliber to keep up with and to stockpile).

 

[WrongWay]

I'd take one in .45 ACP in a heartbeat

Same here. I believe if S&W did do a .45 ACP Shield, they would be on constant backorder.

I thought that might be it but it doesn't have doodly squat to do with a compact handgun. I have a Glock 30 but wouldn't hesitate to add a .45ACP Shield to my collection.

40 cal mag drop

S&W can not even get the 40 to work! I would hate to see failure rate in 45.

They also will not own up to the problem, get an XDS !!

The .40 has been out 3 months, mine works... This kind of thing is to be expected with new guns, XDS is seriously hard to come by and FYI they're having issues too, both are new guns.

I'd buy one in 45 ACP.

+1

I would not buy one in 45 GAP however.

Next years NRA convention could be very interesting.

HUH????????

 

[M&P Freak]

They will announce the Shield in 45ACP the day after I purchase a XDs.

HA, the same will happen to me!

 

[Lost Lake]

How big is that Shield magazine??? I don't have one or I'd post a picture of what I think they should come out with.. I bet you could fit at least ONE of these bad-guy-stoppers in there!

 

[shipwreck]

HUH????????

I believe the Shield was a surprise announcement at this hears NRA convention. It was unveiled there, and then was on store shelves like the next day or a couple days after... That's what he meant...

S&W kept it a secret on the original shield. We'll just have to wait and see what happens if a 45 one gets released or not...

I think a Shield in 45gap would be a waste of time for S&W. It's failed sale wise everywhere else and the only reason you see any LE agencies using them is because they were given the guns for free. Grant it, it fits smaller hands but the ammo is far and few between and more expensive than 45acp.

Thanks Ship.

Shield in .45 ACP? Sign me up!

Might be easier to make work than the .40. The .45 ACP is lower pressure and has a less snappy recoil than the .40.

I have the .40 Shield and the 9c. Don't need another compact or subcompact, but not sure that I could resist.

I WAS LUCKY TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO PURCHASE S&W 45 I put at lease 200 rds through it and I mean no problems with it I have both 9mm & 45cap enjoy them both

Wow! Nice resurrection of a 4 year old thread. However, it is kind of interesting to read the comments about the possibilities of a 45 ACP Shield.
