After 500 Rounds the S&W Shield Plus is Still Impressive 

does 507 k bolt right on with no plate?

@@tereztiago9133 No.

4” is slept on. If you want a upgrade your older shield to a 4” cdnn sells a stripped optic ready slide for only like $55. I did it just for shits and giggles. Plus my 4” shield plus isn’t cut for an optic so now I can switch the slides around for if I want to use one.

I think they are slow rolling them out now. Found two at my local gun store.

I've heard they are being allocated to new weapon packages for the time being, took me about 3 months to find the 7x13rd mags I have.

@Jack's beautiful shirt It may not be about need. 👍

@Buzzard_Bill 👍 my range is 15$ for as long as you want to shoot and you don’t have to buy there ammo. I’ll shoot a full mag cold and then only load 3 rounds at a time. It makes me think about what I’m doing right or wrong. When I’m ready to leave I’ll load up 2 or 3 mags and let it fly or until the range master decides I’m having to much fun.😎👍

@@jariya13 Exactly. I got one of those...1 ten round mag and 3 thirteens. Optic cut and night sights, bug out bag and small emergency medical kit. $549 at PSA

Will do! Thanks for the comment Grant!

How weak is your trigger finger? The trigger pull is literally 5 lbs.

Get a Glock 27 and run 135gr Underwood, and ghost inc small magazine extension gives you plus 3 to your 9 round mag, 13 shots of .40 😂🤷🏾‍♂️

They’re not going to make a plus version in the .40 they don’t have enough width for the magazine loaded in .40 in double stack.

@@SoWavvyy - you’re right right. I already picked up a Shield plus in 3.1 barrel performance center. Had it custom slide milled for the Holosun 407k green. Sweet piece.

@@speedmaster001 that’s cool. I’m planning on picking one up this week if I don’t catch my eye onto something else.

99.9999% percent of hand gun owners will never fire them in a “life and death” situation…better triggers are preferable to build confidence and accuracy. 👌

Why do that?

@UCtO4165tSxPG_Y8n0FgGsaQ readily available here in Michigan as well .. At a pretty reasonable price.. (Thank you Dunhams) But I have no monies available for plastic guns.. (Not until I find the aforementioned sucker)... For now it's 38 special, feeding steel and wood. (Re: 686 / vaquero)

@UCtO4165tSxPG_Y8n0FgGsaQ uh oh..it appears the U tube is on to me again.

They don’t make the plus in .40

It's right at 5 - 5.25 lbs.

They have a light for it

TLR6 makes great lights/lasers that clip on the front of the trigger guard.

...and it's working! Competition is great!

@@Plysomack keyword is "trying" 😉

@@JamesPiccone I've shot both. I prefer my Shiled Plus 9mm Performance Center. It's all about preference. Everyone is different. If you don't like the M&P line, then great. You're free to choose so. I'd rather have that freedom of choosing which works best for me.

@@Plysomack I was referring to the sales numbers not opinions.

@@JamesPiccone Okay, I'll bite. Let's compare the closest platforms: the Sig P365 line and the M&P Shield Plus line. The Sig P365 platform has been out since 2017. The Shield Plus platform has been around since March 2021. At the time of me writing this, it's September 8, 2021. There are no numbers that I can find which compare sales of each respective platform from March 16, 2021 to today. So, what numbers are you drawing from? If it's by any other metric than the same timeframe, I fail to see how that is a fair comparison. But maybe you know something that I don't. Also, if people only buy things because it's the best-selling thing (as opposed to the best possible thing for themselves), that's fine. They are free to do so. It's not the approach I employ, and I'm all the more happier for doing it my way. The Dodge Caravan (and its other iterations) are the best-selling minivans of all time. I wouldn't buy one. They're made poorly. If I was in the market for a minivan, I'd buy a Toyota Sienna. But the numbers... Often in the past, I've wanted to do what everyone else was doing. Other times, I've wanted to figure things out for myself. Typically, I've been overall happier and more satisfied when I made thoughtful decisions of my own accord. Does it always work? No. Would I ever again choose to to whatever everyone else is doing? Perhaps. Ultimately, I think whatever works best for an individual (and for their own needs) is a better approach on the whole. ...not simply because of what the numbers say (which at the time of me writing this I could not find). Even so, for me, the numbers don't matter as much as the other point I made. ...but we're free to think however we want (for now). I celebrate your ability to think differently than I.

Yes.

Yes. I wear XL gloves, and the extended mag is perfect for my grip.

Yes

@tylaw6173 Plus, now the shield has a 15 round mag!

I've heard a lot of people complaining about it...including myself. Lol But after about 100 rounds or so they loosened up to where I could get all 13 in.

I bought the shield plus with out noting any thing about I liked the way it felt in my hand and it had smith and Wesson on side of it the only broblem the thirteen round magazine I could only load twelve in them so I lelf them loaded fore a month and then I put one more in tight but it worked

I rarely see 10 mm ammo at gun stores or academy. Also there aren't a lot of guns that are chambered in 10 mm so it would be a waste

That would be a little stout in a gun that size. Even in my G20 they are pretty hard hitting when using quality ammo. I would like to see them make one in the compact size, or even in a full size.

Hopefully the 365 holds up…I like Sigs and own the XL and P320 AXG Scorpion…but with Sigs quality control lately you have to wonder. I was always a Shield fan but went XL b/c of capacity. But now that the Plus is out I had to have it.

With all due respect, your opinion is wrong. The first gen trigger was by far the biggest complaint. Apex sold a ton of triggers for the first Gen. Idk how anyone with any understanding of firearms or triggers could favor the first generation trigger over this new flat faced. Sorry

@@quantumguy82 💯

@@quantumguy82 100% agree, original commenter doesn’t know what they’re talking about. I work in a shop and I’ve handled all three side by side since the plus came out multiple times and the shield plus is objectively a better trigger and all around gun. Saying that the plus trigger is terrible compared to the gen 1&2 is simply wrong

There's an edition of this that comes with night sights

They do jam up a lot, a few coppers I worked with bought them as off duty carry guns. Just about all of them traded them in for the Glock 43 or the S&W Shield. Their customer service sucks as well 🙏🏿
