Is the M&P Shield a proven defensive pistol? By proven I mean has been able to withstand documented abuse and neglect while being able to fire consistently?
I have a Shield in 9mm now and love how it disappears when carried, but was thinking about making a switch to something else that has been around longer and has a more proven track record. Have any torture test been conducted on the Shield? |

torture test been conducted?
Do'nough. But it is snowing out. Take yours, rinse it in dishwasher powder and water slurry, shovel road salt on it, and then tie to a string and drag behind your pickup for 3.51 nautical miles. Let sit out back in the storm drain for a week. Report back after firing test. |

James Yeager had a video of him saying that the m&p shield is good to go. He ran upwards of 7000 rounds through it. Even me who shoot often. That's 5 years of shooting. James is a glock nut like myself. If he thinks it's g2g , you should be fine.

yep, I bought mine after Yeager's review. So far Ive had a few issues but they were all within the first few hundred shots. Haven't had a reason to complain for a few months, but Ill admit I haven't given this little baby the attention she deserves cuz I went crazy at the end of last year and bought way more high end guns than I probably should have. That and my problems with my Sig 938 (sold it off as I didnt trust that POS) have taken up most of my range trips for the last 4-5 months. Still, I like my shield.
I did notice that the white in my Shield sights seems to be chipping/falling out. Not sure why since I sure as hell dont pick at it. |
