The price these are now, go buy 2 of them. Kong of the single stacks! Reviewed By: jason c on 03/26/2019 Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

I've tested compact single-stack 9mm handguns rather extensively, and I just don't think you can do better than a Shield. This gun has all the features you really need, at a price point that would allow you to buy two of them and keep one for back-up, as I did. I found it much softer shooting and easier to control than a Glock 43, with a 2 round magazine capacity advantage when talking about factory components. It has better sights, right out of the box, and is cheaper to boot. Against the Springfield XDS, I found it about the same size, slightly more accurate, and a lot cheaper, as well as being American made. Compared to the Walther PPS LE Model, I'll have to call that one a draw. Both were equally great. You do have three magazine choices on the PPS and only two with the Shield. And compared to the Kahr CW9, the Shield wins on price when you factor in that the Kahr only comes with one magazine. The Smith also seems to be built a bit tougher and doesn't have a break-in period measured in dog years, not to mention that dealing with Kahr Customer Service is like having your teeth drilled, while Smith and Wesson is as easy as it gets. Bottom line is, I'd buy this gun again, and I have. Reviewed By: Don V on 08/14/2017 Rating: 4 of 5 Stars!

This is the second Shield that I have own ( I also own a ported 40 S&W from the custom shop)and I must admit I am partial to M&Ps. The workmanship is excellent, take down and cleaning are exceptionally easy, and for short barreled gun, it shoots quite well at the distances one would expect to encounter in a personal defense situation. It's size makes it perfect for concealed carry. The trigger is OK, but I have replaced the triggers in both of my Shields with Apex duty-carry trigger kits, but that is my personal preference.

I purchased this M&P Shield for me. Just like a Taurus 605, I gave a Shield to one of my daughter's. Price was right and shipping to my FFL was fast! Love Buds! Reviewed By: Brett S on 05/10/2017 Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!
