M&P 9 shield

[TheTman]

If it has the pro trigger on it, it should be pretty nice shooting pistol.

Looks like every body wants to copy Kahr these days, Kimber with their Solo line, M&P with the Shield. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

I think Mr. Moon realized there was a very large market out there that wasn't being wooed. The others are just trying to play catch up.

3 levers on the left side is 2 to many for me. But it looks nice.

+ 0.5

No thumb safeties for me on a carry gun. I could live with the other two levers. Really do like the Kahr design in this respect.

I'll be following this one closely- if it's a M&P the size of my CM9...bye bye CM9! Nothing wrong with the CM9, but I'd rather keep trigger pull consistent across different carry options

It won't be.

Thank you Kahr for realizing trained shooters don't need an active safety and in most cases is a hindrance. No thank you. I'm sticking with my p9.

I don't think an UN-trained shooter needs a safety either. It's just something else to remember (or forget) and end up blowing your big toe off. I'll stick w/ my P9/TP9 as well

[melissa5]

I don't intend to use the safety unless the Shield has a very 1911 like trigger and I don't anticipate that happening.

It's official now http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/w...ayErrorView_Y#

My LGS just called and I'll be picking up my Shield on Saturday.

Thought everyone would find this interesting. S&W playing catch up

[Mattias44]

Safeties are for Commifornia.

I live in the peoples republic of Massachusetts and have a safety on my pm-9. Chamber loaded indicator too. The stupid safety laws are kind of funny. The guns themselves are not illegal to own, but it is illegal for an ffl ti transfer them. So like, if you owned one and moved inti the state' or inherited one from an out of state citizen, you can own one.

Say, did Mitt have anything to do with that crap, or was it forced on him by the Mass politburo ? We are going to want to know what were his ideas, what predated him and what came from Boston.
