Detailed Review

The Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield is a compact and lightweight handgun that is highly popular among gun enthusiasts for its excellent performance and ergonomic design. It comes with a number of features that make it stand out from other handguns in its class.

One of the most impressive aspects of the M&P 9 Shield is its accuracy. This handgun is designed to deliver precise and consistent shots, making it an ideal choice for target shooting or self-defense situations where every shot counts. Its low profile white-dot sights provide a clear and easy-to-see sight picture, improving accuracy and target acquisition.

In terms of ergonomics, the M&P 9 Shield excels in providing a comfortable and secure grip. The polymer frame is textured to ensure a firm and stable hold, even in damp or sweaty conditions. The grip size can be customized using interchangeable backstraps to fit a wide range of hand sizes, which is a great feature for shooters who struggle to find a comfortable grip on other handguns.

The M&P 9 Shield is also a highly reliable handgun that is built to withstand heavy use. It has a durable stainless steel slide and barrel that are resistant to corrosion, wear, and tear, ensuring longevity and optimal performance. Additionally, the M&P 9 Shield has a striker-fired action that requires less maintenance than a traditional hammer-fired action.

Safety features of the M&P 9 Shield include a trigger safety and a sear deactivation lever, which help prevent accidental discharges. The handgun also has an optional manual thumb safety, which is a good option for those who prefer an extra layer of safety while carrying the gun.

The M&P 9 Shield has a magazine capacity of 7+1 rounds, which is standard for a compact handgun of its size. However, there are also extended magazines available that increase the capacity to 8 or 9 rounds, making it an even more versatile and effective firearm.

In conclusion, the Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield is an outstanding compact handgun that offers exceptional accuracy, reliability, and customization options. With its ergonomic design and excellent performance, it's a top choice for anyone looking for a reliable and well-designed handgun.

Stiff RSA

I bought this model last year (2017) when S&W offered rebate. It was impossible to rack. I have 9mm everything from low end (ASTRA, TARUS) to relatively high end (COLT, GLOCK, SIG SAUER). Nothing comes anywhere close to how difficult this is to rack.

Great Handgun...except

Really like this gun. It's the perfect size and conceals easily. It has never failed to feed, fire, or flip. And I've used several brands of ammo. The only gripe is the takedown procedure. But it's still a 5 star weapon.
