Smith & Wesson M&P 45 Shield Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

.45 ACP w/ night sights, no porting

Picked up one of these two weeks ago. Non stop rain has been keeping away from the shooting range. I can't wait to shoot this pistol! Trigger is fantastic fit and finish is excellent. Bonus- it came with a second 7 round mag for a total of three mags. Mag

Great concealed carry pistol.

I have had the 9mm Shield for a year now. Over 1,000 rounds fired not a single issue. Performs excellent! Its comfortable and easy to conceal. I purchased 3 extra 8 round mags. I have used only mags from Smith and Wesson all work without any problems.I de

My first semiauto

This was my first semiautomatic and is an excellent example. High quality fit and finish, easy field breakdown, good accuracy. I have put about 1000 rounds down range and it hasn't skipped a beat!

Great Concealed Carry

I bought this gun a few months back after researching multiple concealed carry weapons and I'm definitely pleased. I ordered online and it was ready to pick up at the store in 4 business days. I have the 9mm and the extended grip on the 8 round mag fits m

magazine fault

The trigger is to stiff and the eight round magazine causes the slide to not close properly, The result is the trigger won't function until you push the slide closed with your hand! The six round mag works fine.

Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm - Awesome!

This was a great gun to add to my collection. I'm a loyal Smith and Wesson owner and have shot Smith and Wesson for years. I like the striker fire action after years of shooting with a hammer. The gun fits my hand perfect, is easy to operate, and I'm able

Great ccw

Great little weapon, nice groupings right out of box. Little tight. Oiled it and action much smoother. Nice gun

Love the 2.0 M&P Shield 9mm!!!!!!!

Everything about this 2.0 shield is just great, from the great new grip to the better trigger, right out of the box first time shooting a 100 Rnds not 1 problem. I will be getting the compact size next for sure best pistol hands down that i own well, besi

S&W M&P Shield 9

This is the concealable pistol that I hoped it would be: slim, reliable, easy shooting. It has a good trigger, and a comfortable grip.It comes apart easily, and cleans up quickly. The longer mag makes the frame grip work even for large hands.

Just right for the Price

Great gun for the price. Grip doesn’t force your hand into a position, great for quick draw. Also the gun is perfect for follow up shots. I wouldn’t change my purchase for a concealed carry gun for any other at this price level.

Good gun

Haven’t had a lot of time to use it but seems to be very good

S&W

The shield line is fabulous.

M&P Shield .40 compact

Great weapon to bad I got it from CABELAS never buy anything else from them.

Smith &Wesson M&P9 Shield

I purchased a S&W M&P9 Shield on Dec. 7th and took it to the range for the 1st time yesterday and I must say I love it.I put 50 rounds(I know that is not a lot) thru it and it performed without a hiccup and felt really good in hand.Yes the slide i

Not perfect but It's close

Great weapon. After I installed the grip extension on the 7 round magazine I thought it was perfect until one of the magazine springs failed. I noticed the follower was loose after firing at the range however the Shield never failed to load all the rounds

40 & 45 are great!

Bought the 40 on a friend's recommendation and loved it. So when I went looking for a 45, the choice was easy. In several hundred combined rounds I've had only 1 FTF and it was my fault. I was rushing reloads with a magazine loader. I don't believe anyone

Quality and comfort

My m&p shield 45 is accurate, comfortable to carry, recoil is manageable. The fit and finish of this firearm is outstanding ! My thanks to the professional staff at Cabela's that made my purchase experience very good.

Very good conceal carry gun

The gun really fits and handles well for me. Very pleased with its performance and have had zero issues with it. Have shot better quality ammo and cheap bulk ammo thru it.

versatile shooter

Quite accurate for target shooting. Also, makes a great concealed carry handgun. Con: narrow size makes it difficult to use loaders.

M&P pistols

Purchased the 45 compact and the shield ported 9mm. Both are beautifully done. Slim, great conceal carry guns. Fired about 150 rounds thru each with absolutely no problems. Highly recommend

Trigger sucks

I purchased this gun about 2 years ago. I did not have the chance to try it. I had it for my business. after about a year from having it, I went to the range to practice. I found out the trigger is very bad, you have to squeeze hard to get the gun off. Of

fantastic weapon

great staff and awesome handling weapon.

Going back to Glock

After reading how reliable the M&P Shields are, and how, according to a recent article in a reputable gun magazine, they had surpassed Glocks in quality and reliability, I purchased a .45 M&P Shield. After several hundred rounds of many different

Rock Solid ....

Great price compared to Glock 43, very good build quality, extended mags carry extra rounds, shoots straight, manageable recoil and fits my hands well and is comfortable to shoot for a small gun.

One excellent fire arm

I carry this firearm all day; IWB, cross draw fashion. I practice deploying the firearm several times a day simulating engaging a moving target, while I am moving over uneven ground on my rural property; after many encounters with unfriendly dogs and two

Not reliable

First trip to the range,50 rounds with no problems. Next trip to the range had (3) brands of ammunition with me in both 115gr and 124gr. Used both the 7&8 round magazine and could not empty a magazine without a jam or failure to feed up the ramp. Weap

Excellent buy got 75.00 rebate

I bought this in June for concealed carry. I love this gun excellent trigger and sights very accurate

Conceal Carry

Love this pistol. Weight feel and shoot ability are great. Only couple of draw backs. if you get one get a clip loader. Springs to load the clips are really tough the first few times.

Great Price

Great price on a quality handgun. Easily concealable but make no mistake about the .40 knock down power.

A GUN YOUR LOVE

This gun does it all. It can be used for all your needs. A CCW a range gun and for any other use you might have a need for. S&W good it right and Cabela's offers it at a great price and really has the customer in mind when offering this pistol for sal

Hottest gun going in 2017

I outfitted my 9mm performance version of this gun (ported and fiber optic sites and reworked trigger) with Tallon grips on both of them. I use the rubber version on one of them and the sandpaper/grit on the other. Then i added the green Crimson tide with

Sheild 45 is a Great Handgun

Very comfortable handgun. Even with the six round magazine it fits my hand much better than a Springfield or similar small frame handgun. Some people have complained about misfires right out of the box. My suggestion is field strip it and then lubricate i

Shield 9mm purchase

Happy with my online purchase from Cabelas. The price was right plus the 75.00 rebate. Had a good experience with the sales people when I went to pick it up. Very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you

Great firearm once you get through some early....

......misfires. This is one of the most comfortable small handguns I have owned. Great accuracy for it's size. I give it a reluctant recommendation because it had a few misfires right out of the box, unlike the glocks I have owned, which always fired, fir

Sweet gun!!!

Very accurate gun!! I shot better with this then my FS M&P9Fits the hand well with the 8 round mag. Comes with two mags. A 7&8 rounder. Felt recoil is very low for how small it is. I shot 200 rounds the first trip to the range, absolutely zero iss

Very poor for S&W

When I got this gun home and checked the front site was to the extreme right side. I knocked it over as far as it would go but still shoots 6" left and low from 20'. Not what I expect from S&W

Very poor production consistency

After first time shooting this gun, I carefully disassembled it to clean it and while slowly and methodically removing the recoil spring assembly, the muzzle end head of it broke and the main spring forcefully unraveled. I've never owned a Smith semiauto

Best price for an awesome gun

I purchased this gun shortly after I have purchased a much higher priced sig sauer p320,the first time I put this gun in my hand I fell in love with the feel, it's awesome.i use it as my carry weapon and it has no flaws it has smooth lines with no snags a

S&W Shield A+

Just purchased a M&P Shield 40 and could not wait to get to the range. I knew the 40 cal would be snappy but I was surprised how well I handled it . I was spot on at 21 and 30 feet with a variety of FMJ and JHP ammunition . As I said it is snappy but

Perfect Fit

Been looking for a smaller EDC pistol and the Shield seemed a popular option. Lots of upgrades and mods available. When I unboxed the pistol I found the action very stiff - extremely hard to rack - took two people to lock the slide back. Factory said shor

Good Gun

I got it on sale, used a coupon, and got a rebate. So the price was a big deal. I've only put about 50 rounds through it so far, but absolutely no problems. Slender, easily concealed, and light to carry. Feels good in the hand and with the extra mag you'r

MONEY

The absolute best concealed carry gun ever. My wife and i have put hundreds of rounds out of our Shields, without one foul or any problems at all. It fits her small hand perfect. She likes the short mag and i like the extended mags. If your looking for a

Lovin' this gun

What a great product and a great discount deal that the manufacturer and dealer has offered. This is shooting well in my hands and absolutely no jams or miss fires. My 9 mm is always by my side and is a good size for self defense carry weapon.

S and W fan

We bought the 9mm Shield for a concealed carry and home protection.Took it out target shooting last weekend and it was awesome.Hitting targets at 25-35 yards a breeze.Highly suggest getting a speed loader

Great carry pistol

I finally picked this up as another carry pistol. After the sale price, rebates, and Club points, I couldn't pass it up. I got the .40 no thumb safety and couldn't be happier. I've shot about 100 rounds through it and initially it is VERY tight. No issues

great gun

I bought this to carry with me everyday. I was impressed with how accurate this was. Small, light great concealed carry firearm.

Good Pistol

I don't have experience with other single stack 9mm guns to compare it to but I can tell you that this gun is pretty good.

Nice upgrade

Bought this M&P shield in 9mm to replace my wife's first pistol, a Taurus TCP. Took it to the range before Memorial day and she loved it. Slide was a bit stiff to rack at first then it softened. My wife said recoil was very manageable for her and she

S&W GOT IT RIGHT

I already own a ported Shield with Fiber Optic Sights and like it. I was at Cabelas and saw that the Shields were on sale . What a bargain. I bought the 9 mm model again with white dot sights . I have been to the range several times since my purchase and

Great conceal carry

Compact and fun to shoot

Great starter firearm

New to firearms this piece is great for starters. A reliable brand that is easy to maintain.

works great

easy trigger pull and the right size for concealed carry

Can't beat it

Overall online king. can't beat performance, can't beat prices.

Great Price...

Great CC gun and the rebate makes it an outstanding value. I just hope that Cabelas starts to pay attention to the competitive pricing online as the 9mm shield can be had for $150 less without taxes and free shipping. I wan't Cabelas to survive the online

Enjoyable shooting experience.

The S&W 40 Shield is a very enjoyable firearm to shoot. Feels great in your hand. Easy to strip and reassemble. Fired 100 + rounds of 3 different brands with no trouble.

Perfect Concealment

Put me in the five star club with this gun. I was a little nervous about getting it in the 45 ACP. My fears were put to rest. The stippling on the grip is prefect. It keeps the gun in your like it's glued to you. The recoil is very manageable. I've only p

Great

I love it.

havn't shot it yet, BUT...

I waited for a couple of weeks for my 45 Shield to get to the store and it was well worth the wait. I was surpised to find the pistol came with three mags, one being an extra extended 6+1. I was not sure if the Shield would come with or without a safety e

.45 Shield a handful? Not too bad

Having shot the S&W Shields in 9mm (my wife stole this one from me).40 cal and .45 auto, I would say the .40 and .45 have similar recoils. The new .45 Shield has a fairly aggressive texture on the grip that makes it feel very secure in your hands. The

Great Gun

I've only had it for a couple of months and have put probably 300 rounds thru it but I'm very happy with it so far. Shoots great and feels good while shooting, very accurate and I think a great value

Big Bang for the buck

Great carry and concealed gun. The night sights work perfect, the plus is the extra magazine. Always reliable and ready to go.
