That is my next conceal carry.

Will be heading out to NWA this weekend for the S&W show. Hopefully they will have one to handle.

Seriously this is one of the nicest single stack compact 9mm's that i've ever fired. I have not been this excited about a gun purchase in a long time, the Shield was money well spent. Looking forward to shooting it more, possibly on Monday.


My mini range report:


Picked up my M&P Shield today and headed straight to the range. Coolest thing is this gun was just announced at the NRA show yesterday.

It's of comparable size to the LC9/PF9 but feels much better in my hands than either and has a very good M&P-ish trigger. Only put 96 rounds through it but no issues and very accurate shooter for me.

Also picked up a "new" M&P 45 compact on Wednesday, it has a Apex Duty kit in it and was broken from the factory 3 years ago. I fixed it and got it for a really good deal. This thing drives tacks and shoots point of aim for me, i'm thinking this will eventually become my carry gun.

Nice report! Where did you pick up the Shield at?

Got it at Brightwater Ventures in Vancouver. Talked to Nick yesterday about them and he was lucky enough to find me one.

Here's a holster I just did for it.

And I was in there today and hadn't read this thread yet!!


OH, WAIT!! I was in there about 12:30 so I couldn't have read it first. Had to kind of hurry as I had an appt to take my car in at 1:00

 

[PuddleMonkey]

with any luck people will buy this and I'll have a better chance of scoring a new Sig 224/938 when they come out

 

[humdrum]

I like the holster. What more can you tell us about that? I'd be interested in a test drive!

Missed you by 30 minutes. It was sitting behind the counter in a box when you were there, I got there just after 1 and showed it off to some other customers.

I'm interested in seeing a 938, but the 224 doesn't do anything for me.

the 229 being my favorite gun I love the idea of a 224, but yeah, I hear many people saying it's gonna flop.

For you it will probably good.

Although it will more than likely end up being a huge success like the Sig P290......

The sound you just heard was me getting an erection! Nick better be able to get a second one or I am going to be in there throwing a fit tomorrow!

Picked one up at Mary's in Tacoma (great people to deal with). My son and I took it shooting and it ran as good as I expected. Now if I could just find a nice leather holster for it.
Had to take it to the closest shooting range and blow off some rounds.

Sweet.

I know a guy who has a S&W Shield and who builds leather holsters......

Held one today at Cabelas, it's bigger than I thought it would be. Never owned a M&P of any kind so I don't know squat about them, it felt pretty good. Bought a real gun while I was there though.
