New M&P Shield in 9mm & 40S&W

[ralph]

While I haven't read all 10 pages of this thread, what about the barrel? what rate of twist? are they still using the oddball 5 groove rifling? Is the barrel/slide lockup like the M&P, where the barrel unlocks almost immediately? or did they address that..?

just got a message back from apex tactical solutions that they have`nt got into the innards yet,but will!that`s a good thing for any m&p owner that wants to vastly improve on an otherwise great product.randy over there does terrific things!

I field stripped one today. The FP block, sear, trigger spring and extractor appear to be the same size as a regular M&P. Hopefully they are nd current Apex stuff will fit it.

Guy on AR15.com put an Apex sear in his Shield and the trigger pull dropped to 4.5#'s.

Guess I'll be ordering a couple of sears this weekend.

These are the same questions that are keeping me from getting prematurely excited.

My wife can run the mp9 fs without too much issue with felt recoil. Is the shield 9's recoil about the same? I wouldn't let her shoot the pf9, I'm hoping this auto's recoil is more manageable like the fs.

I wonder if Buds Police will be stocking these. Hopefully

Just got mine. pics later. very nice gun... I just came from competition so I had my M&P9 FS too so I shoot both. very similar trigger, the reset is almost the same. it is not a lonnngg DAO. A little crispy but after some rounds it improve a little.

my hands arent so big so with the flat magazine I can have a full grip.... I put around 100 rounds FMJ 115gr of federal, WWB, remington. 0 issue , 0 erratic ejection. and some 10 rounds of WWB of 124gr..a little more of recoil/muzzle flip with that one. buy I didnt feel any mayor difference with the recoil compared to my FS and G19..

I paid 449$.. at the store they got 2 yesterday and today only had 1.... so I took it.

What will this gun do for me that my 239 does not? My 239 is 9+ 1 and it appears to be pretty similar in height which is the primary concern when carried concealed. I think if I were in the market for a small 9mm, ccw weapon that the G26 would be a better choice.

If you don't see the point, don't get it. Width matters to some people. A PPS is easier to carry for me than the G26. I expect the same to be true for the Shield.


Normal capacity on the 239 is 8+1 by the way. I don't really see the point of a 239 when compared to a G19 but that's just me.
