How are you liking your M&P Shield?

[JWH321]

Love/Hate. I hate the stiffness of the slide (and mine has well over 1000 rounds through it so its broken in). I love everything else about the gun. Its reliable and accurate, it carries invisibly, its comfortable to shoot. But it does take a whole bunch of strength to rack the slide.

Love mine.
Added a pinky extension and it feels like a much larger gun.

A Shield in 9mm followed me home a few weeks ago. So far so good. It shoots my reloads no problem. It seems accurate for what it is. Recoil is no where near where I thought it would be for a small pistol. I'm satisfied.

I intended to get a Ruger LC9s and changed my mind. I'm not bashing Ruger as I own a number of them, but nothing at all wrong with the Shield. I have no regrets.

@thefish: What kind (brand) of pinky extension is that? Never mind...just saw your other post with the link. Thanks.

Accurate, reliable, cheap, light and easy to conceal. It would take a single stack 9 from Glock to provide real competition to fill this niche.

We never did see an answer regarding what grandchildren have to do with a choice in guns. I'd like to know in case there's something missing here that's related to the OP.

My guess is that he feels that when he has his grandchildren in tow, he wants more gun.

Similar to someone who might daily carry a .380, but makes the decision to carry a double stack 9 if they know they are going to be in a bad part of town (for work, or whatever).

Just guessing here.

I have a .40 Shield. Great gun although I have only shot ~100 rounds down range. My OWB kydex holster is great for CC. No complaints!!!
