Today I am showing off two of the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9mm pistols, including what you get, mechanical and trigger safeties, different holsters, and general gun safety. The S&W Military and Police Shield 9mm pistol is a great affordable and reliable pistol, and has many nice features.
Cleaning and Teardown Video: • Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm...
I will talk about the aesthetics and feel of the gun, if this gun is good for concealed carry, as well as some basic tips and tricks of the pistol. Whether this is your first pistol or your 50th, check out this video to see if you are able to learn a few extra things that you might not have known before!

The safety for me personally has never been a problem. It’s all muscle memory and second nature.

@gilbertoesquivel9668 3 года назад

In the 6 years I've carried the shield, my safety has never been actuated 'by itself' without my placing my thumb in there and switching it. It literally is a non-issue..that being said, I like the option of a safety... Shield is still a great CCW option even in the age of the Sig P365...

@@mitchellfactor6671 Congrats! recommendation: don't get add-ons and extensions and all the aftermarket crap, maybe get a good holster...But If you really think things are going to get hot, then carry the original 7 and 8 round mags and maybe a spare 8 round mag...SAVE YOUR MONEY $$$$ FOR AMMO AND TRAINING...IT'S WHAT I WOULD'VE DONE IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN..

These types of pistols are enough to defend yourself. Lot of people doesn't see it like that therefore they want a bigger gun.. doesn't matter what size it is they all will stop anyone. Also I like these better is it also has indicator that pops up showing there's a round in chamber.

@Nystromj1 3 года назад

I inherited my Shield from my Wife, who didn't like it and switched to a Glock 43. But, I really do like this gun for concealed carry. I upgraded the sights and upgraded the magazines with the Mag guts extensions, for 10-round capacity. I've put all kinds of ammo through it and no problems.There are certainly other newer small pistols I'd love to try, but since my Shield is reliable, and I'd rather spend my spare coin on silver, and other prepping priorities ...

To lock the safety switch does it need to be flipped up, or down? I'm assuming up would be locked? It would be nice if there was a red indicator when it's unlocked so you know. I obviously don't know much about guns so sorry if that was a stupid question.

@wizardofahhhs759 9 месяцев назад

The Shield .380 is 8+1. It's what I carry because the 9mm in that small of a package is just too snappy and uncontrollable for me, I have big but skinny hands so most of my pistols are full sized. I wish more manufacturers made their smaller 9s in .380 also.

Hey friend, I Love my Shield 9mm too!! You can get a Shield, the Hyve mag extensions and a good Kydex holster for less than a Sig P365. Plus there are a TON of after market parts for the Shield. It’s like the Honda Civic of guns. My only tiny issue is I wish I got it in .40 SW because that is easier to find than 9mm nowadays.

@Tx_Jay_ 3 года назад

What's the benefits over a .40 than a 9mm? I'm looking to purchase this but not sure which caliber... Edit: besides being able to find ammo lol

@tacocat9472 3 года назад

The .40 is basically a 10 mm short so it will punch harder than a 9mm. (All things being equal). However, you will lose one round in capacity. The Shield 40 has a 6+1 and 7+1 capacity. And the 40 will recoil more. Up to you, I wouldn’t want to get shot by either one.👍
