#SHIELD 9MM PLUS#

The popularity of the Shield makes for quite a few holsters specifically for the gun easy to find. It takes the M&P Shield fine, covering the trigger guard while leaving the grip fully accessible. The holster shown is an IWB one I've concealed GLOCK 19, 23, 22, Sig 220, Taurus 24/7, and others. 40 S&W that you can confidently defend your and your family's lives with.Ĭoncealing the gun is a breeze, even for this larger than average sub-compact or smaller than average compact.

#SHIELD 9MM PLUS#

The big plus in this gun is grip control, easy sight alignment, and dependability. But as far as using the gun to defend yourself at the relatively close ranges of 35 feet or closer, it will meet the challenge if you practice. That means making precision hostage rescue shots is not likely with it. It's a pleasure to shoot, with confidence building characteristics that go with a quality handgun.

The last not a real characteristic of most very small handguns. A reputation for dependability, better than average small gun accuracy, being easy to conceal, and being an enjoyable gun to shoot. Then I paid and took home a gun that already had a reputation that is well embedded in the world of concealed carry. M&P Shield 9mm Handling Plus Reputation = Sold Before putting down the cash I tested the trigger pull, user controls, magazine release and operation. I picked up the M&P Shield 9mm pistol at Academy Sports, that in general provides new handguns at some of the lowest new gun retail prices in the country. It is a gun you can conceal in a jacket pocket but you won't likely be stuffing it in your skinny jeans. That said, this is not a pocket gun in the true sense of the word. The gun fixes every reason I have rejected most 'pocket guns' of any manufacturer. That has changed with the Military and Police Shield. I've been hesitant to recommend guns that are very small compacts or large sub-compacts, one of which this gun is. The Smith and Wesson 9mm Shield is yet another continuation in the line, particularly focusing on concealed carry.
