Any New M&P's coming out?

[CaptRon956]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone heard of S&W developing a replacment or making a improvements on the M&P shield or developing a 9mm sub compact that is bodyguard sized?
I love both my Shield 9 & .40. and they became my EDC's. I would love to see a .380 version of the shield & maybe perhaps a M&P bodyguard in 9mm...

I would think the shield is pretty much the smallest 9 they will make. I think a 10mm m&p would be pretty cool. Maybe a 45 shield if they can do it.

Maybe something a little larger then the Shield like this. Don

M&P45 Shield makes the most sense, they are losing out big time against the XDS45/Glock36/Taurus PT145 market segment.

I want to see a M&P 22 Pro Series 5 inch barrel....

I would purchase a hammer fired M&P45 tactical pistol with an all metal frame.

I'd like to see:

1. A single stack M&P in 9mm/.40 that is thin, has room on the grip for three fingers, and carries 8 rounds (10 with an extension). I'm anticipating a large-cap magazine ban... if you-know-who wins the election.

2. A steel framed or even aluminum framed M&P9/.40 -- everything else as on the plastic version, just made of metal. Would be a bit heavy, but would have minimal recoil and feel great in the hand -- with current manufacturing techniques, shouldn't be that expensive, either.

 

[mafbloggerdanny]

well as long as we're making wishes, I would totally buy a Shield 45

I would also like to see a swat-style m&p-themed 1911 maybe using the lightweight scandium frame that S&W already makes, but with the melonite coating and M&P styling treatment on the slide.

S&W M&P Skynet Special should be out in a few years.

"Phased plasma Shield in the 40-watt range...and laser sighting"

"I'll be back (for it)"

Assuming the Phased Plasma job will take a bit more R&D, I'm getting into the line for a 45 Shield. True single stack, maybe 6 rounds to keep the width under 1" would be my preference.

I'm not much for rails on 1911s but mafbloggerdanny's mock-up looks kind of interesting to me.

So all you want changed is a little slide work with a little groove to give it a slight semblance to the M&P, and to slap an M&P label on it? It already is black melonite on stainless. I don't see the point in trying to bring it under the M&P motif. They would have to make it on a poly frame to fit in.

 

[Jhp147]

Hmmm. Maybe it just looks better in my eyes because the fish scales serrations are not in the front slide serrations. They look fine on an M&P but not on the 1911, and I usually don't mind front serrations on a 1911.
And yes. Now that I think about it. I should try a railed gun now, favor external extractors, like Melonite, and get treated well by S&W. So yeah, I'll take one if it fits a standard rail holster. Don't need plastic or Scandium.

Personally what I'd like to see is S&W coming out with a 9mm version of the Bodyguard. I'm more than half tempted to trade in my BG380 for a Kimber solo carry or Kahr pm9

Go with the Kahr PM9, that's what I carry in the winter. The Solo is infamous for reliability problems and doesn't do the Kimber name any justice.

The future of handguns is for them to have a modular trigger pack like the Sig P320. That is where S&W should be concentrating their R&D dollars to keep the M&P pistols state of the art.

 

[Magload]

M&P 5" 38 Super, Core, ported, with Apex trigger kit.

 

[27Veer]

M&P 357Sig CORE with optional APEX trigger, red dot optic.

The Shield is a nice gun, but still bigger then it needs to be for a 9MM. The ruger LC9-s and the Glock 43 are smaller.

A slightly scaled up bodyguard in 9MM would be fabulous
