Check it out guys. I don't think anyone here will be surprised if the S&W ownership community expands exponentially soon. Enjoy: M&P Shield ( Chapter 2) - YouTube
Hickok45 really puts the Shield through it's paces today.

It would appear so. Watched it early this morning. Hitting small stuff at distance is nice to watch & that it can do it is just icing on the cake

Waiting for a HICKOK45 video in the Shield in 40 caliber.
His comments get me thinking about getting my Shield in .40
Although, I'm not sure though. I've never even held a Shield yet. I've learned the hard way in the past about small CCW pistols and the potent .40 round. That's why I was so excited last year when I took a chance on the M&P40c. If we were only allowed to have one gun....that would be it for me. I found the Holy Grail... Awesome gun!
What do you think? A thin gun like the Shield really designed for the 9mm cartridge?

With the modern defense ammo of today, 9mm in a gun of that size works for me.

The grip on the Shield is easier for big guys than the compacts due to length, and easier with small hands because of the slim size.

Hickok45 is one of my youtube favs, enjoy watching him shoot and he talks pretty straight.

Buds Guns has the M&P Shield40 but not the 9, if I had not had to fix the A/C on my vehicle which broke the main belt I would be ordering one right now, that is alright I can wait he want $449 and when they get to Academy Sports here they will be 399 plus tax and the $10.00 background check!

The wider thickness of the Shield v the LC9 is almost exactly the difference in diameter between 9mm and .40 cal. I don't know how significant that might be but you can safely wager that if S&W plans to offer the Shield in .40 cal, the requisite engineering has been done.
When I'm carrying 8 rounds of Federal HST 147gr. in a slim reliable package...I don't feel undergunned.

Note to self. DO NOT call that guy a bad name. LOL.
How far is that Gong target? Thats pretty impressive. Now to find one in each cal.

Me too! The Bersa Thunder is a good gun for the $, IMHO

He owned and tested a Walther PPS that he seemed to like (he liked the trigger), but he traded it off after a while. I think the thinness wasn't as important to him as the round count in his beloved Glock 26/27. The PPS also wasn't as much of a pocket carry gun as his Kahr.
He's like a big kid sometimes.

The range to the gong target is 80 yards. He did a tongue in cheek video awhile back in which he responded to a person who had asked, "Hickock, how far away is the 80 yard gong?" to which he responded with deadpan expression, "Two hundred forty feet."

80 yards??? WOW, Im more impressed now. I want that guy to teach me how to shoot.

hmm would you believe I'm kind of burned out on hickock45 already?
I've been watching him for about a year and went through all of his backlogs when I first found him and I just kinda burned out about the time he put the vid on the five seven out.
but still nonetheless a good man and certainly a nice alternative to the nutinfancy of the youtube world.
also it might be worth checking out sooch00 and the yankee marshal too as they usually have something good or interesting to say if you kind of get tired of the straight shooting vids which I think is what happened with hickok there for me.
as I really need to get to the range one of these days, havent done it for about a month so I guess I'm kind of in that state where I'm jelous of someone shooting one right now on there own personal yard range like he has, hence the burn out probably.
