Shot a friend's M&P Compact 22 a few days ago...was favorably impressed with the reliability and accuracy, but not the trigger...lots of glitches in the takeup and a mushy let off. Weight wasn't a factor, but that gritty feel was the pits.

At any rate, I liked the gun for it's weight and ergonomics and the accuracy with Fed Auto-Match and Winchester Super-X solids was right at an inch at 8 yds from a Weaver Stance...i.e. unsupported.

I found one locally here of $389 and bought it. Same feel to the trigger, same accuracy and feel in the hand. Stripping it down to the factory recommended level, I anointed the trigger/sear/hammer interfaces with military weapons grease and Kroiled the remainder with good results.

The trigger is now usable, tho still not fully up to speed...hoping it'll break in with some add'l shooting...Nice gun, light for field carry and my wife likes it!! Big item this last.

Here's the mandatory pic. Best Regards, Rod

 
My Performance Center M&P40 Shield 1.0 fitted

Been thinking to get mine ported. Barrel and slide. If you don't mind, could you take a picture of the port on the barrel? It looks angled. Also got a ruler? How far back is the port? 1.2“?


My 1.0 with grip tape.

2021 M&P 40 2.0 Performance Center Ported 5"

  • Osprey Mini Rail Green Laser

- Fobus RBT Tac holster

Regarding carry function, as some of you are painfully aware, trying to find a reasonably priced holster for the 5" with a rail attachment is damn near impossible.

Found a good item - the Fobus RBT Tac holster. The holster essentially exposes the rail which allows the pistol and attachment to be easily holstered. I use the optional rail cover (called Lighthouse cover).

Works very vell as is. It is formally designed only for the 4 1/2", but it does fit the 5" moderatly well. I easily repositioned the trigger strap to accomodate the longer length to make it fit almost perfectly (drilled out the strap rivet and replaced with bolt/screw),

Highly recommended for those looking for a good decent priced 5" attachment holster.

Well, it's getting to be that time of year again, so I'm breaking out the Warm Weather EDC Loadout.

I know this post is over a month and a half old, but I'd be happy to look into it for you and get back to you if you're still interested and haven't already figured it out for yourself in the meantime, just drop me a PM.
 
Long time M&P fan, but just got my first Shield (a Shield Plus w/night sights).

I must say, this is quite an impressive pistol: the capacity (13+1=14) for its size, wonderful shoot ability, and a really great trigger - best trigger feel, by far, of any stock M&P I've ever fired! Really grippy grip texture, too. Way to go, S&W!!!

I love the Shield Plus' new trigger from Smith & Wesson. To my mind, they've out-Apexed Apex by making the safety lever nearly as wide as the trigger shoe itself. Practically no creep, flat wall, clean break, no sponginess, as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if S&W uses this trigger design on future-modified production of the entire M&P line-up.
