Gator Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I am thinking about gett the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Handgun, so what are your thoughts on this gun? Here is a video review I found that showed it in action. There are some funny parts as well. Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Handgun Key Features Striker-Fired Operation High-Strength Polymer Frame Corrosion-Resistant Steel Slide & Barrel Slim, Compact Design Two Magazines Included /monthly_08_2014/post-2-0-46705900-1408118416_thumb.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashDawg Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Not sure if its any big deal for you but you may want to get the extended mag for better grip....all in all the S.W. M&P series are all nice. You can never go wrong with a S&W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&P series are all nice. You can never go wrong with a S&W From what I understand, the weapon comes with both. :ph34r: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StateCop Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I still prefer my glock model 27. Most likely because of year and years of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 After checking out numerous pistols (automatic/revolvers), I have decided to go with a Ruger LCR w/laser for CCW. I picked this thing up in the store and it felt super light ...I mean really light. The trigger squeeze is awesome ...Very cool. /monthly_08_2014/post-2-0-06408800-1408387549_thumb.jpg/monthly_08_2014/post-2-0-09232400-1408386428_thumb.jpg/monthly_08_2014/post-2-0-77135900-1408385831_thumb.jpg Here are my reasons why: Pros: - Feels great in the hand - No Jamming (experienced in autos) - Hogue Tamer Monogrip - Easy to conceal - Small and lightweight (13.5 oz/14.00 oz with LaserMax Laser Sight) <--- Hell, I buy more weight in deli meat than that ...lol - .38 S&W Special +P - LaserMax Laser Sight Cons: - Ugly compared to Smith & Wesson counterpart - Lower number of rounds compared to it's automatic counterpart (5 vs. 6-7) - Reloading is slower (if needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaff Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Something to think about when going for an ultralight firearm is the fact that the recoil will be greatly increased as apposed to its heavier counterpart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaff Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Also just in case you would be thinking about getting it everything proofed and want to maybe jazz it up a bit - http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/gallery/?page=1 My rifle - http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/gallery/detail/9593/Cerakote-H199-Desert-Sand-with-H263-Foliage-Green-and-H190-Armor-Black/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I will bling it up, but I am thinking of changing out the front sight and put on this instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Nice choice, go with whatever your comfortable with and practice! As far as the rounds carried all ya need is two well placed shots. So practice practice practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingChavez Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Gator did you ever decide what you are going to get. That M&P looked nice while with a revolver you have more safety as you can carry the hammer down and then use the double action when the time arises. It's too difficult to get a pistol out here so I will stick with my rifles for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 I ended up getting the Ruger LC9s (new model with Striker fired), and I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelsmiley11 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Nice! Did you end up changing the sight also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nice! Did you end up changing the sight also? No, it has three white dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
