M&P 9 shield

[melissa5]

I am really interested to hold one of these when they are finally available. Small, thin, single stack 9mm.

[wlc]

Me too! I'm a big M&P fan. They look larger than a PM/CM 9 though. Do you know what the dimensions are?

[melissa5]

I don't know anything about the gun.

S&W will be making an announcement about the new gun on April 12th.

The picture that I posted was leaked on another web site.

Looks more along the size of a P/CW to me.

[apheod]

very nice... i've been expanding the m&p family, just got a 9 pro and have a full size 45 on the way. this might be the next one...

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!

[melissa5]

OK, I just talked to a pretty reliable guy that went through the S&W armorers course and he said that the Shield will be modeled on the PPS.

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

OK...one looks like a safety and one looks like the slide release. What is the other one?

takedown lever

I think there's just an extra lever in case California requires anything new, they got it covered in advance. I guess that thing in the back is a safety, can't think of anything else it could be. Take down, lever, slide lock and safety.

Wonder if there's any stuff on other side?

[jocko]

oh I think ur right, I don;'t want a safety on my PM9, not that I would hate it but I like my PM9 the way it is, clean lines along the left side and with my contoured slide lock lever, any clutter is gone. One of those 3 has to be a safety great one and no doubt it willbe the back lever: Just sayin

yes on the right side is the mailing address and cost for a complete set of encyclopedias.

agree 100% with the first part of this.

[kayl]

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

takedown lever

Yup, just like on every other m&p.


I loved my MK9 and Cw9 and there was a time when I was pretty much a Kahr spokesman. But an M&P9c has replaced it as my favorite carry gun. I have never had a malfunction with it and we have run thousands of rounds through a spare m&p without cleaning it just to see when it will stop working. A lifetime warranty is far better than 5 years and not having to fight with the company to have a problem resolved is great. I sent two emails to Kahr that were never responded to.
