Have shot about 300 round
Have shot about 300 rounds through this gun and have not had any problems. It's easy to clean and light to carry concealed. Don't like the 6 round mag., it's to small so I got 7 round mag., was able to handle it better.

What a great pistol, I carry it everyday and trust my life to it. There is no better deal on a new one of these than Cheaper Than Dirt.

I'll be honest, I would n
I'll be honest, I would not have purchased this handgun if there were extra magazines available out there for the Taurus PT740. I also wish I had sprung for the extra $55 first time around and gotten the Shield .40 instead. What I really like about the Shield is the 7 round extended magazine - which I have 5 of; no need for Pearce extenders here. The 7 round extended grip is a perfect fit for my 3/4 size hands. Also, I would say to my fellow raters, 'give up the load-by-hand hassle and buy a LULA speed loader.' This single stack .40 is an excellent choice of IWB holsters too. Finally, kudos to CTD for their speedy delivery to my local FFL.

After some long research
After some long research and looking at a lot of compact and subcompact pistols, I settled on the Shield. I chose the .40 cal. since I have a larger pistol in .40 cal. already and I won't have to change ammunition. I shot it today and what a fantastic gun. Very easy to use. Both my son and I gave it a try. Very accurate right out of the box...made us look like pro's. I had no problem with either the 6 or 7 round mags sticking or falling out and it didn't jam. This is my new concealed weapon of choice. No wonder they are hard to find.

I really like my Shield!
I really like my Shield! I am a female who wanted a small gun with a punch. I bought the .40. It is very accurate. The gun was very dry when it came. I had to lubricate it right away. The recoil is manageable for a smaller person. It fits wonderful in my hand. CTD was amazing with the processing and shipping of the gun. I was impressed. I got it the same week I ordered it.

I'm really happy with my M&P 40 Shield. I specifically wanted a thin, lighter, larger-caliber ITW pistol, and this is perfect. It has worked perfectly and is very comfortable to fire. The magazines are tough to load, but I usually have gloves on at the range so that makes it easier. I bought the DeSantis Tuck This II ITW holster and they work well together. Looking forward to putting many more rounds through this thing.

I fired my new M&P Shield
I fired my new M&P Shield .40 this weekend, put about 175 rounds through it and love it. I really like the slim design for a concealed carry, the accuracy was great and overall impressed with this pistol. Magazines were a litte tight to load but hoepfully over time that wont be a factor.
