S&W Performance Center M&P Shield Plus 4″ ??

[Glenn54]

Seriously considering getting a S&W Performance Center M&P Shield Plus 4″. I have two S&W revolvers but have never owned or shot a M&P Shield. I have read some posts about dead front sights and getting the wrong magazines, etc. I'm looking for opinions, pros and cons on this handgun. I appreciate any info.

Hello, I have both the 3.1 and the 4 inch shield +. Carry depends on what clothes are required. I prefer shooting the 4" and my old eyes like the fiber optic sights on the 4" verses the night sights on the 3.1. I carried a gen 1 Shield for years and have tried all the micro hi-capacity 9's and went back to the Shield. I also sanded the sharp points off of the rough grips texture a little at a time until I got them to the feel I liked. Good luck, great guns. Just MHO.

Thanks fish hunter. I don't care for the sharp points on the grips of handguns either. Haven't thought about sanding but sounds like a great idea. Thanks for your opinion on this gun.
