We have one M&P Shield 9MM.  Based on it's performance so far, if I were to buy myself a small 9MM it would be another Shield.

I'm a CZ guy.  It's what I carry every day, every where.  But that darn little Shield outshoots a bucket of other full sized 9MM pistols I own.

Now you're making me go look to see what these are selling for.  Got the same first aid kit (looks like it) in my bag but the pistol is a CZ75 Compact as it's the smallest 9 I've got (that's mine).

That’s cool as hell. I really love my shield. It really is an awesome little gun

The Shield is fantastic.   Only made better with a Hyve aluminum trigger.

Know your buyer.  They'll probably sell quite a few of these.

If they pre-loaded the mags or threw in a box of 50 rounds they would sell out.

Know your market.

I'm a Glock guy but the Shield is a solid pistol. I should have bought half a dozen of the stupid things when they were dirt cheap.

UPS says mine should be at the FFL tomorrow.  Hope so.  I'll try to get to the range in a day or two to see how it likes the 115 grain hollow points that shoot well in my wife's Shield.

Better I'd say cause my old Shield had a trigger similar to a KelTec P11 or PF9.  Horrible.

I think the marketing is goofy, but I carry a Shield as part of my carry rotation.  

I actually own 2 Shields, a 1.0 and a 2.0.  1.0 is about to be upgraded with new sights some Apex Tactical  parts.

For .380, I carry a G42.  I was carrying a Shield well before the G43 was available, so it’s become my 9mm subcompact of choice.  

When I realized I had purchased over 20 mags for the Shield, and the salad days deals were so good, I grabbed the 2.0 as a spare.

These days when people call, text or IM me about suddenly realizing they should have a small 9mm for carry purposes, I recommend either a Shield or a G43.  

I tell them best would be to shoot both and decide, next best is to handle both and decide snd lastly (these days) if they can just buy one or the other they’ll do okay.

Maybe 20 years from now that little M&P branded man bag and the facemask will be collectors items?

The Shield is a nice piece. They were a lot nicer when they were selling for just north of $200 vs. the $450 or so I've been seeing in the wild these days. For that kind of money I'd rather have an LEO trade in G22 and a bunch of mags.

metoo. The 8 round mags fit my huge hands very well. PSA also sold 5 8-round mags and 250 rounds of CCI for $100. Last March Rural King was selling 2.0 9mm Compacts for $319. Another miss for me!

Yes.  I pad just a bit over $300 for my 2.0.  Also purchased one of those PSA deals when I was building up my mag stockpile.

I just bought a 2.0 Shield today also!!!  Had a Gen 1 and gave it to my son last year and really missed it.  

I even have a P365 and I still missed the Shield.  I paid way more for this one than I did for the first one.  I don't care.  I know the sucker shoots good and I like it.  

I have three 8 rounders and the one 7 rounder.  Ordered a US Gruntgear IWB holster today.

A quick look on gunbroker, and it looks like the average price is about $425ish

Same here.  I love my Shield 2.0 and paid $289 for it about 18 months ago.  Should have bought a few more at that price.
