The Perfect 9mm Concealed Carry Pistol from S&W
The S&W Shield is what happens when you take the duty-proven S&W M&P pistol and shrink it down to the thinnest and lightest handgun possible without loosing the fundamentals of a combat-grade side arm. The S&W M&P Shield is simply a .95" wide, single-stack version of its big brother. This 9mm Luger version of the M&P9 Shield is chambered in the best modern defensive or duty handgun caliber, meaning you can have either 8+1 or 7+1 rounds of top-of-the-line ammunition on you at all times.There are good reasons that the S&W M&P9 Shield is one of the most sought after concealed carry firearm available on the market today. The professional-grade features of the S&W M&P9 Shield means that you get the striker-fired trigger, the polymer frame with a rigid, embedded, stainless-steel chassis, the M&P's patented take-down system, and the S&W M&P's sights in this featherweight 20.8 ounce package. The Shield has the thumb safety for those who do not want to carry without one and it has the three dot sight system.

Great feel for compact
I wouldn't recommend any model other than the EZ for a small woman. Pros: Minimal recoil, nice grip, reliable. Cons: Extremely hard to load bullets in magazine.

Great value on an American Classic Gun Manufacturer
Hope to never have to use this product other than shooting range but rather have it and don't need it, than to need it not have it

Read all the review's and
Read all the review's and this gun has met all my expectations to date. Have only put 100 rounds thru so far, but no misfires and no real issues. Shooting very slightly low and left; not certain if it's me or the gun yet. Nice size, not much recoil (in 9mm), and best shooting semi-auto I've shot in a long time. Magazines VERY hard to load due to stiff springs right now. Not going to replace my Model 27 or Model 60, but real nice addition.

I purchased this for my E
I purchased this for my EDC. Is not quite a pockets gun but did nice in an IWB holster. Shoots fantastic at close range. I think adding some Talon grips will improve the grip as it is a little snappy but not to bad. I really like this firearm. An excellent at the cost I got.

I got this gun my first carry gun. I have a full size m&p but it is to big to carry. The shield feels very good on my side. not to heavy nice and thin. Good shooter as well. put 200 rounds through it no problems. only thing I don't like about it is the safety don't really want a safety on my carry gun. They do make one with out the safety now. so I will sell this one and buy a different one.

Read a bunch of reviews on this weapon and decided to pull the trigger on it. Wanted a 9mm instead of a 380 due to ammo availability, and the fact we already have 2 full size 9mm's. Took it to the range a couple of days ago and put 50-60 rounds thru it. Was flawless. Used a couple of different brands of ammo, and no difference...fired and ejected every time. Fits in the small of my back just right, and fits perfectly in the drivers door map pocket for quick access. Definitely worth consideration for a concealed carry.

This is an grate little 9mm. Shot 100 rounds an no peoblem so far. On more range time will tell. Very happy with it. And CTD was awesome with really fast shipping I got it 3 days after I ordered it..

CTD is fast on the shippi
CTD is fast on the shipping. Got this baby in just a few days. I've taken it to the range two time and it has performed flawlessly. 100 rounds so far. After cleaning it the second time I did notice that the slide wouldn't lock back after putting it back together, but after breaking it back down I realized that the guide rod wasn't fully in seated in place. Repositioned the guide rod, reassembled and it was fine. Slide locked back like it should. I found it not to be super accurate because of the short barrel, but its size makes for a great conceal carry pistol for close range protection.

I had been on the look out for a Shield 9mm and found it her at CTD. I placed my order on Sunday afternoon and had it by Wednesday. Completely blown away by the quick shipping. Pistol came as ordered and I've had no failures with it in about 200 rounds. It is now my EDC.

Ordering and shipping was
Ordering and shipping was easy and fast enough. On first inspection of the pistol we (FFL and I) discovered the slide would not lock back with either empty magazine inserted. Further inspection shows the slide is not retracting all the way back causing this malfunction. Appears to be an issue with the 2 stage guide rod getting hung up or possibly the spring not seated on the guide rod properly. Didn't even make it into my possession. Sending to S&W

Just received this Gun fr
Just received this Gun from Cheaper than Dirt. Ordering was great and I got the gun within a week with no problems. Shooting it for the fist time was different though. In the first 100 rounds I had 1 FTE, 3 FTF's from light primer strikes, and not once did the slide hold open after the last round on an empty mag. I will be sending this gun back to S&W for service and may update this post in the future...

I was completely satisfie
I was completely satisfied with this purchase. Like another reviewer, I was expecting on the 7 Round magazine to be included, but when the box arrived, it had both the 7 Round and 8 Round. Fun to shoot. The recoil is minimal. No problems yet, except that the slide is pretty hard to pull all the way back. It's gotten better after several dozen rounds shot through it. Delivery was also quick and easy.

Awesome gun! Fires every
Awesome gun! Fires every brand and type of ammo without flaw. I expected it to come with one mag based on the description which only mentions '7 rounds'. It came brand new without a mark with both the flush and extended magazine. Based on this gun, I will most likely get the full size as well.
