Smith & Wesson M&P 45 Shield 180022 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

my favorite concealed carry pistol

Shoots amazing; really smooth trigger-break, comes with an extended magazine and a flush magazine. This is my favorite concealed carry pistol. Very nice large enough to see/small enough not to snag sites too.

Great pistol for concealed carry

I bought it a few months ago and working great i give it 2 thumbs up

My new favorite

I own lots of handguns including the 9mm Shield 2.0. Some of my pistols cost a lot more than my Shield 45. This one is by far my favorite handgun. I took it straight to the range after picking it up. I was amazed at how accurate it is and very low recoil

Great features.

Great help from staff. Great purchase. Great pistol.

Great product

I enjoy the product I purchased. Staff was very professional & were very attentive.

Great handgun

I have put 200 rounds through it. No FTF or FTE. It kicks very little. I like the 7 round magazine for the little extra extension. I have big hands. Very easy to conceal. I shoot American Eagle 230 grain FMJ and Winchesters and can't tell the differe

Bought May 2017 , not a single failure , very reliable

My favorite

I have purchased SD9, SD40VE, and Shield 9mm...this is my favorite! I loved the Shield 9mm because it is a great gun, but I had to try the .45. After one day at the range I already know this is my favorite gun and primary EDC. I still love the Shield 9, b

Great grip and shoots amazing!!

Bought this gun week ago took it out to range and performed amazingly well..

Very Pleased

Just bought my M&P 45 Shield 2 days ago,it shoots great with no malfunctions and I did not have to make any sight adjustments , shot good right out of the box. For a large caliber gun no larger than it is the muzzle jump was not bad at all. Glad I bou

Great gun

Getting used to the shorter barrel - but (after 100 rounds) tight groups like my 1911.

Very concealable

Love the M&P shield, have the 9mm. now the 45acp. very little if any difference in size. And for conceal carry, wearing a tee shirt it leaves very to no print. Love that! And being a 45acp there is very little muzzle flip that was surprising, and accu

Amazing CCW in a .45

I've had my Shield 9 for a couple years, and have absolutely loved it. I decided that I wanted to add a big bore to my lineup, and as much as I loved the Shield in the 9, I knew I had to get the .45. I bought it and immediately put 100 rounds through

Excellent concealed carry 45

Perfect size for concealed carry. Cleaned it, took it to the range, put a couple of hundred rounds down range, worked flawlessly. Extremely accurate. Very pleased with the purchase.

The EDC I've Been Waiting For!

I purchased my S&W M&P 45 Shield a week ago. I currently have the S&W M&P Shield 9 and have been waiting to purchase the 45 ACP version. I took it out and ran about 200 rounds through it yesterday, I was impressed that there was no major b

.45 Shield

Recently purchased, very happy with performance and reliability.

Sweet shooter

I have been wanting something chambered in .45 auto for a long time. This gun is great for the price. I fired 50 rounds of the cheap Academy ammo with no problems. I was a little worried about the recoil. Let me tell you I worried for nothing! This thing

Smooth 45

I bought mine at Academy a little while back, and I must say, I have never shot a 45 before, before I shot this one. I was a little nervous about the kick of the 45, but compared to my Shield 40, I was surprized that the 45 had less flip then the 40. The

M&P 45 Shield

I bought this gun about a month ago for personal defense, and all I have to say is "wow". This is a great fun for a great price, great accuracy, no barrel flip, the gun is perfectly balanced, the new grip added to the handle is amazing, with the

Puts a 1911 to shame

Purchased this firearm about a month ago. With the S&W M&P .45 ACP there is NO barrel flip, NO excessive recoil, dead on accuracy, extreme reliability (even with cheap Russian steel casings) and more than fair pricing with two magazines included.

You just simply can't go wrong with a firearms purchase from Sportsman's Guide. The prices can't be beat. As far as the gun itself, this is a great product from S&W. It feels great in my larger size hands, so there's never a concern about controlling it w

excellant

Have only fired around 30 rounds but very tight groupings. I like the sights and the grip. The only problem is the magazines are very hard to load hopefully loosen up a little with time .I'm 6' 2 230 lbs. and had to really force the rounds so far.

Great Trigger!

This Shield 45 has the best trigger out of the box of any striker fired handgun I have ever shot. That includes Glocks XDs other S&Ws etc.Accuracy is very good and function flawless on the first 60 rounds I have put through this 45. Another couple of

Just what I was looking for

I recently got my CWP and had been floundering on what to carry when I happened by the Shield in .45 with the thumb safety.I did a lot of research and found it to be a worthy candidate so I purchased one.What I discovered was an amazing pistol. It was sig

great gun

Bit of a gritty trigger otherwise a spectacular gun. My first 45 and I was amazed at how much better I can shoot it than my other full size 9mm gun

Best 45 carry gun on the market!

I was usually carrying a Glock until I made the jump to the Smith and Wesson Shield 45. The price was just too good to pass up. 299.00 plus shipping and then you get 75 dollars back! That price can't be beat ANYWHERE. So I ordered the Shield 45. It wa

Sweet sweet sweet.

I've been wanting one of these since they were announced. PSA had it priced at $299 plus shipping. S&W $75 factory rebate made it irresistible. It arrived in perfect condition in about a week. The gun is slim short and light. Recoil spring is stou

Wow

First off I orderd a 45 & 9mm both are great guns but the trigger in the 45 is a lot better than the 9mm. The stippling on the .45 is a lot better and it shoots amazing for a ccw its a must buy you want be disappointed !

This possum is awesome! Yeeeeeeeee Haw!!!!!! This critter rocks line Goldie locks.

Best shield ever I either have or had all of them. Regular little dream maker. Just can't get enough of its love. This thing is just stupid yummy you just got to jump on in and getcha one. This new pre-stippled grip will make your pimples pop and your

M&P Shield .45 special.

I have been reading and watching video on the M&P Shield .45 acp. When I saw the special pricing by Palmetto I could not pass such a great deal up. Thank you Palmetto for the great deal and for helping me make my mind up.

Great Pistol

extremely happy with purchase

2nd shield I own 1st one is chambered in 9mm and thought that the .45 would be a great carry gun too this .45 shield is way more than I had expected. This .45 shoots very similar to the 9mm very little recoil ( extremely surprising ) way better than my su

Great pistol for the money.

I bought this from PSA and a Bodyguard 380 from a local shop. Shot 100 rounds through both and the 45 is by far easier to shoot. It feels like it has less recoil and is more accurate to me. Just need to find a comfortable holster.
