My SHIELD is in!

[mbills2223]

I picked up my Shield 40 today also. Another coming in a week.

Shot 5 clips and really liked it. This is my first handgun I've ever shot.

I'll leave this here...

But for real...Welcome to INGO, we're all glad to have a new gun owner.

 

[Mr.Johnny]

You are going to be happy with it.

Love mine only shot about 4 mags through it and worked flawless. Haven't tried it with the 7 rd mag thats my next range day. I bought a second 8 round mag like the way it fits my hand better.

What do you guys think about the trigger? From my dry firing it feels to me like

crunchy -> brick wall........... -> bang

It will clear up and get a little better. Most who are used to Glock have issues with M&P triggers, but they really aren't that bad.

Congrats and what a blessed man you are today. When I asked last week when I could get one the answer was, I have a list of about 50 or so in front of you and at the rate they are coming in you should be a proud owner of a .40cal Shield around October of 2015. bahaha. So instead I am a proud owner of a M&P40C as of Monday.

Because we are used to perfection LOL

I am probably going to get my wife a shield for her birthday along with her LTCH. That or a glock 26.

I was able to find one on the shelf 2 weeks ago. I really like it. Took it out and put 2 8 rounds clips through it and shot great. Put it back in the box and went home. Got in my holster last week and pulled it out of the box. Loaded and realized i loaded my target amo. Went to unload it and the ejector is gone! The round just is stuck in the extractor and has to be manually pulled out. Never broke it down. NIB. S&W is rush repairing it with a 10 day turnaround. I am somewhat new to handguns. What could have happened?

The Shield is the only handgun I've ever fired, so I have no comparison as far as the trigger goes. It seemed fine to me.

Congrats!

I gave up and bought a Kahr 9mm. There's just so long a man can wait...

 

[indybuell]

Looking forward to your review. I would appreciate the opinion of a Glock owner.

I want one but am not willing to put my money down without a confirmed date of delivery.

I keep thinking that someday supply will catch up with demand but apparently Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson are the only two employees and it takes them a week to forge each one in the fires of mount doom.

I waited two months for a shield. It never came. I got tired of waiting, bought a Glock 27, and have never looked back.

Que and I are going to run this shield against my Kahr CM9, and G26. Will post a video!

Congrats!

Haven't owned a shield either, let us know how she works.

 

[Litlratt]

Picked one up locally today.
Initial impressions are good regarding fit, finish and trigger.
Planning on breaking it in tomorrow.

 

[Mr.Johnny]

i WANT ANOTHER ONE FOR THE WIFE!

I got an M&P 40 compact as I didn't like how thin the shield was, didn't fit right in my hand (guy behind the counter let me hold his), glad I didn't like it as they seem to not be in stock anywhere.

But recently I sold my S&W 638 snubby and wanted to get a subcompact-compact 9mm for a BUG... so I picked up a Winchester Model 70 chambered in 300 WSM

I might add that if you were thinking about ordering additional mags for the Shield from S&W, the sooner the better. Mine have been on backorder since 11/26...

Kind of expensive but 44mag has them:

Good luck with it. Hope you don't have the mag drop issue. Mine did

No more expensive than the S&W site. Thanks for the source...

To what mag drop issue do you speak? Is the mag fully inserted? I have noticed with a full mag, I have to insert with a positive palm pound.
