So I am new here but I have used the search option on the site for titles and talk regarding an armorer's bench mat for the Shield but have had no luck.. Searched high and low on the inter-web also... Anyone know if one exists yet?? I know they gun is relatively new and is pretty much like the full and compact sized M&P but I still figured someone would have made em for the Shield by now.
Shield armorer's mat??

If i remember correctly the shield is just a smaller version of the m&p compact.So an m&p mat should be the same like this one Amazon.com: TekMat 11-Inch X 17-Inch Handgun Cleaning Mat with Smith and Wesson MandP Imprint, Black: Sports & Outdoors

Nice, but silk screening doesn't hold up to gun solvents very well. I have a nice mat from Cabelas, which makes small parts easy to see, and they don't roll around. Most of the time, there are only four parts on the table - frame, slide, barrel and recoil spring, seven parts for a 1911.

You could take a paper towel and use a marker and write shield on it.Use a fresh one everytime and you will be good to go.
Let me know if you find one please. Ï just want one too!

The Shield is significantly different from the full size or compact guns. None of the parts will interchange. So, I understand wanting a mat (or more specifically a schematic) of the Shield.
Try contacting these folks: TekMat - Official Site for the Original Gun Cleaning and Armorers Bench Mat Maybe they can make one for you.

I cut up cardboard boxes in about 12"x24".....just put in a new water.....have enough mats to last till Memorial day now..
Not exactly true. These parts are common between the Shield and the regular M&P's:
Sear
Sear spring
Sear plunger
Striker block
Striker block spring
Striker block washer
Trigger return spring
Striker assembly
Striker channel liner
Extractor pin

OK, I see that now. Thanks for the update. Even so, that leaves a lot of parts that are unique to the Shield.
Of course, the parts may be different, but the names are still the same. I'm not going to say that a regular M&P TekMat is useless just because you have a Shield.

If you find someone willing to make a Shield Specific mat for a minimum order of 'X' mats (25? 50? 100? whatever) to make it worth their while, start a 'Pre-Order' thread and we'd probably be able to come up with enough interested buyers to meet that minimum order. 
I wrote to S&W and asked about a parts list or an exploded view for a Shield, this was the reply...
