M&P Shield

Our Agency just purchase 601 of the M&P Shield. We had 2 out of 601 with the Recoil Guide Rod problem and that was from some monkey handed Troopers forcing things back together
Good Job S&W

Wow. The 1,000,000th Shield was made in November 2015!

Anybody know if they are made in Springfield, or one of the other factories?

I can't believe there has been 24 posts and nobody has mentioned the hottie in the middle of the sign. Oh my lord.

Still qualifies for rare on Gunbroker! Thanks for the post, very interesting.

Don't know where the other 999,998 of 'em went, but I got two of them in the last month. Got the 9 first and loved it so much I ran out and got the .40!

LOL... Believe me I noticed! Just didnt' want to lay my cards on the table.

This has to be some kind of record. The gun has only been out for three years and already sold 1M? Wow.

The popularity and usefulness of the gun cannot be denied, and it's a financial boom for S&W.

A financial success for Smith and Wesson for sure. You think Glock is kicking himself for waiting so long to produce a single stack 9mm?

Love my Shield. I bought my Shield .40 about two years ago. Awesome weapon. Very accurate and never a malfunction.

I'm pretty sure that hottie made my Shield lol

It took just under 4 years to make 1 million Shields, in a portion of the factory and making dozens of other gun types at the same time. During WW II it took the entire factory making the same basic .38 M & P revolver about 4 years to make about 800,000 examples, running 24/7/365. Quite a testimony to modern production methods and materials.

Yes and no. I'll bet that none of the revolvers had any failures.

Also, the M&P pistol is a completely different gun. Far less machining.

Still, you are correct about modern techniques. At their best, they couldn't have made 1M revolvers, in the same time period, unless they built a second factory.
