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

[turbo38gn]

Thank you Jack..

how thin is it?

I was looking for a kahr cm9 these days.. but now I would have to way some more time to find it in a store..
the grip size/heigh seems similar to the m&p9c, isnt it?

how it compare to the kahr cm9/pm9 ? how is the trigger? DAO?

Looking forward to width comparisons to the PPS and M&P9c. Very intriguing and a long time coming!

It's similar to the LC9 in thickness and size, but a much better trigger and the gun feels solid not cheap like the LC9... notice the grip and what looks like a magazine sleeve, maybe for a shorter magazine..

while a problem exists; it's nowhere near as common as some people make it out to be.

Agree. I have mentioned to others before that it should be a requirement that you post a pic of a gun you shot well along with your "bad" M&P groups in order to have the posts remain.

Thanks, good to hear.

Hard to say without an item in the picture to represent scale, but it looks a little bulkier than the LC9.

If it won't carry comfortably in my front cargo pocket, a single stack 9 mm doesn't do much for me. I can't wait to get my hands on one to see.

I was looking for something in that picture for a scale of reference. I noticed that the grip insert is "longer" than that of the compact pistols. It looked as if it's the same grip insert as the one from the full size pistol. I am hoping that the grip is longer than the compact. The circumference or thickness of the compact's grip was never an issue. Its circumference and thickness is actually the same dimension as that of the 1911. Making the grip thinner or smaller may be ruining the feel of the M&P. Sometimes you get past the point of diminishing returns by trying to make the grip smaller.

We shall see when this thing actually hits the store. Just because they're releasing it on 4/12 doesn't mean it will automatically show up at the stores at noon.

It's about the same width and size of the LC9, pocket carry is gonna be a little tentative..

The grip felt like a narrow FS M&P grip. much better than the comnpact. I liked it.

Is the trigger action the same as the full-size M&P's?

Compare to the PPS?
