    Calling all S&W Shield fans: 300 flawless rounds through my Shield Plus

    I have an original Shield that was a 100% reliable tank. That’s why I finally upgraded to a Plus. It’s obviously got increased capacity. But, what will surprise those who haven’t shot it is that it’s a substantially better trigger than all other M&P’s. It’s a third gen trigger, not 2.0. I just...

    Upgrade Shield 1.0 to 2.0?

    Wondering if an original Shield can be upgraded to the 2.0 trigger...either at S&W or by a local gunsmith. Mine is in 40S&W with a safety. Probably has 100 reds through it. Truthfully, the trigger it has, seems pretty good.

    M&P shield schematics?

    Does anyone know where a guy can find a schematic for a Smith & Wesson M&P shield? All that I've been able to find is one for the full-size or the compact.

    Bersa Firestorm vs S&W Shield

    I'm about to turn 21 and want to buy a handgun that I can ccw under a t-shirt. Right now I'm kinda leaning towards the Firestorm, even though the Shield is 9mm and basically the same size which makes it a little more practical. Also I'm in California so I have to get something on the roster...

    Rust Issues from Carry

    It is not a major thing but since I've been carrying my M&P Shield, I've noticed brown spots. I carry it all year round, in a Kydex holster, and sometimes the rear makes contact with my gut. Prior to carrying in the Kydex holster, I carried in a hybrid holster. I took a look at it the other day...

    Help deciding on a concealed carry gun.

    I'm looking for a reliable and accurate gun for concealed carry. I shot the Springfield XDS.45 a couple of weeks ago and really liked it but I've also read tons of positive reviews of the Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm and the Walther PPS. Just wondering what your thoughts were between these three...

    Reasons to own both a Shield and a Glock 26

    Are there any good reasons to own both? Seems they fill the same size role in terms of "carry guns" and should be about the same fun to shoot on a range. Seem to overlap pretty heavily, so besides the fact they're both dandy firearms is there a reason to own both?
