Fondled one at sportsmans today, the trigger is awesome, it actually has a tactile reset and doesnt have a wet carrot feel trigger break. hopefully its transfers to the standard m&ps. The safety to me is meh especially being a lefty. I think its going to really hurt the pf9 and lc9 sales if it proves to be a reliable and accurate option.

For those complaining about lack of rail, what are you wanting to mount on it? Plus, did you look at the accessories available? You can mount lasers on it without a rail. If you want a flashlight, I'm sure someone will make one eventually if there is enough demand to mount on pistol same way lasers are being mounted. If you hoped to mount it on rail in front, I think that would be crazy on a gun that size and would certainly defeat its purpose (CCW) IMO, but I am no SME.

Looks like the single stack ccw pistols keep coming. I wonder if Glock will now really be pressured to make a single stack G26/27. I wonder what percentage of parts does the Shield share with the M&Pc. Let's not forget about the Springfield XD45 single stack either. I think this will be a hit too. Most people will certainly trust this little gun over things like the Keltec pf9 and Ruger LC9 I would think.

With respect to no front slide serrations, only the M&P45 has them. No other M&P does.
If you want to press check, you can do it via rear sight or near front of muzzle where it is cut, but you will obviously then need to be careful of sweeping yourself. It also has the hole on top of barrel and slide to look for brass.
Not a biggie IMO.

Just like Cabela's to charge MSRP.
Went by Cabelas today and they had just put one on display at noon(They said that they couldn't talk about it or display it until then). He said that they had gotten 12 of them in stock.
It felt ok in the hand. Very thin and low profile. I wasn't a fan of the safety. Overall a decent feel. If I hadn't been there to get a full size M&P I probably would have picked one up.

Ambi controls - there is no subcompact that I am aware of or would want to buy that has ambi controls. S&W allegedly did this to keep width down. Thank god magazine release is reversible for the lefties. Since S&W put a safety in, it would've been nice if that was ambi too, but I guess they looked at the competition and saw no other subcompact, again that I am aware of, has ambi controls so... LC9 has safety and it is not ambi either.
Also, I'm going to speculate that they won't offer one without a safety for liability reasons. There is not a non-safety version of Bodyguard either or LC9, etc.

heads up, stupid question time...
As a Glock shooter I know nothing about manual safties on guns other than I despise them. Well, and mag disconects too but I digress...
Can you remove them, or at least disable them?
Not speaking to the Shield specifically, but thats the one drawback IMO to that pistol. MY luck would be the damn thing would somehow get engaged and I would vapor lock.

Definitely going to take a look at these.

Depends on the specific pistol, of course, but you can remove the thumb safety on some other M&Ps, for example.
