Here are a few specs. I have a PDF file of the brochure, though I have not seen the pistol in person yet.

Overall length, 6.1 inches
Overall height, 4.6 inches

If I can figure out how to convert the PDF file so I can post it here I will. Trigger pull is listed at 6.5 pounds.

Is the safety ambidextrous?

If these specs are correct.....
A bit bigger than the LC9 and even more so than the Kahr CM9.
Hopefully its doable though.
Im a skinny fella and need something small to carry comfortably.

Oh and the un-photoshoped picture to add a little size reference.

Stupid name. Shield?

I'm sure there will be a standard length mag as well. I agree being a slim guy that the grip is the hardest part to conceal.

Can't wait to get me one! Already emailed my local ffl which is a friend and told him I want the first one he can get his hands on!

That's what I thought, maybe included with the extended mag.

Looks interesting. I'm not going to go out running to buy one, but I'll keep an eye on it. I've been thinking about getting something that size to carry at least some of the time.

I agree, stupid name though. Shield? Seriously?

Who the hell chooses (or doesn't choose) a gun based on the name?

[glocktogo]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't put it on if you don't like it. I can assure you it will not apply itself by accident anymore than you will pull the trigger by accident.

You cannot guarantee that. Unused manual safeties have been known to inadvertently get engaged. The user that doesn't train to use the safety will have significant issues getting the gun to fire when that happens, losing valuable seconds. I've seen it on the range numerous times.

S&W needs to make this one w/o manual safety just like the rest of the M&P line.
