For shooters with larger hands, there are options such as grip tape and carrying the extended magazine to get the most contact of the M&P Shield grips. The primary detail about this firearm that does not make it or any other gun a universal choice is its size. It’s also proven by live fire and carrying it for an extended amount of time. The functionality in such a small frame is immediately recognizable as soon as you pick up the handgun. This is one of the slimmest on the market. It’s low profile from its soft edges and levers make the most out of the. The M&P Shield is a great option in the concealable single stack 9mm, 40, and now 45 categories. Watch this video by SmithWessonCorp about the M&P Shield 9mm: Even with multiple shot drills, the muzzle rise isn’t going to take you completely off targets like some larger caliber or framed handguns. This feature helps mitigate that type of stoppage.ĭespite its small size and lighter weight compared to the Glock 26 (and later Glock 43), the combination of the grip angle and overall weight distribution of the Shield work together for a manageable amount of recoil. Some failure to feed stoppages results from something as simple as not fully seating a magazine. However, it can contribute to bringing you out on top of some of the worst-case scenarios. This is another design detail that may seem trivial. Unlike other everyday carry semi-automatics, the Shield is capable of firing without a magazine inserted. The best resolution is by simply tapping the magazine to make sure it’s in before you chamber a round. While that may contribute to the failure to feed, a stoppage like that is nearly entirely user-generated. The one magazine-related stoppage reported is a failure to feed due to the magazine not being fully seated.ĭue to its design, it is possible to wedge the magazine in the well without fully seating it. The magazines themselves are great without any major or repeatable stoppages according to owners. Having those extra magazines is good not only for everyday carry (EDC) magazine rotation but also for practical reloading training. On the same day of purchase, consider buying at least a few extra magazines.
The 9mm variant comes with a 7-round flush magazine and an 8-round extended. The Shield comes new in the box with two magazines.
