I heard about the new M&P shield recently and thought I'd check it out when I found one. Well, as luck would have it, I went down to cabelas and found one yesterday. I wasn't planning on walking out of there with it, but after handling it and trying the trigger, it followed me home.
I'm a glock guy at heart, and I love striker fired pistols. Recently I've started to carry a Walther PPS, as I find it has many of the features I love about my glocks with a slim frame. My only complaint about the PPS is the crappy trigger.
Enter the Shield.
The size and shape of this gun is very close to the PPS. Very slim and easily concealable. It has a single stack mag that comes in 9mm or 40. The trigger on it is great. It is better than any of my glocks and almost as good as the Walther PPQ.
I haven't had a chance to take it to the range and put it through it's paces yet, but if it shoots as good as it feels and looks, the Shield will probably be my new CCW of choice. The shield also has a safety, which I think I will like and use.
I made a quick comparison video that might help you decide if you want to try one of these out. I had just taken it out of the box, so I'm not offering an expert opinion or anything, but you should be able to see the dimensions and general functions of the gun.
