Smith & Wesson M&P 45 Shield 307507 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

great all around pistol

Purchased this gun a few months and have to say it is awesome. It's accurate and easy to handle.

Love to shoot it

Shoot every chance I get. Love the extras it has to offer ported barrel and sights.

Perfect handgun

This is my very first gun and I can’t believe how easy it is to handle and how secure it feels. It’s powerful but light. I consider it to be great for smaller people like me. I don’t know too much about handguns but I did do my research

Perfect CCW.

This is my new favorite pistol. Perfect blend of, great shooter, 9 rounds and compact.

HiViz Sights and so much more

I had been looking for a replacement pistol as an upgrade for my first 9mm. I had settled on a standard S&W M&P Shield 9, and dropped into Academy to test the gun's feel. However, next to the standard Shield 9mm in the case was this Performan

Fantastic gun for the money

I have had zero issues with this gun. I am 5' 10" with medium hands and the gun works great for me. Easy to hold, great sites, good round capacity, easy to carry and it feels very solid!

Do not recommend

I’ve put, at most, 350 quality rounds through this firearm and it has jammed twice; I’ve had to readjust the rear site twice, and today at the range the front fiber optic tube popped out and landed on my sleeve. It is a great looking pistol bu

Mishap

On the very first round fired the slide went back and stuck rearward. I had to send it back to the factory for repairs. I recently got it back with no word from the factory as to what was wrong with the gun or what they fixed. I have not shot the gun sinc

Great trigger. Accurate. Very concealable.

Great trigger. Accurate. Very concealable. Good looking and reasonably priced. Everything one could ask for in and EDC gun. I carried a G43 before and didn't love it.... I love my PC Shield.

Good concealment weapon

I bought this gun as my daily carrying gun and it is light and not cumbersome. I have shot over 1000 rounds with no jams. Great gun for a first time gun owner. The trigger pull is light and the recoil isn't noticeable. Highly recommend this gun

The Best Just Got Better

Bought the 9mm version for my wife and she loves it. Very minimal muzzle rise. Flash is not noticeable. Trigger is smoother, 6.5 lbs. Excellent concealed weapon system.

Accurate Conceal Carry

I purchased the S&W M&P Shield Performance Center 9mm two days ago. I had narrowed my options down to this gun and the Springfield XDS 9mm. I have the Springfiekd XDM 4.5 and it's my favorite gun to shoot with perfect performance so I was lea

Excellent carry

Had this weapon for six months. Excellent carry performs 100%

Wow ... what a great gun!

I bought this gun about 3 weeks ago looking for a sub-compact small gun to concealed/home defense. And I looked into the Performance Center and is just wow. Everything is perfect with the gun. Good recoil, nice accuracy, no problems at all. I used this gu

Great Every Day Carry

I am amazed with this compact 9mm. Shoots extremely accurate. The optic sights really pop out at you in the sunlight. I will never sell this one. If you need a reliable easy to carry and clean pistol. You won't be sorry you purchased this gun.

Bad gun

Bought this gun . Go to the ranger the first time the spring broke on the second clip. Never buy Smith and Wesson again.

Accurate and Thin

This is a very accurate and well made pistol. At 10 yrds I was taking out the center with just point shooting. Retention shooting was no problem. I was NOT spewed with hot gas like I thought I would be. It took 9mm factory target rounds, Critical Defense

Great Gun, BUT

Just be aware that the Specs state 3.10 " barrel. However this edition is actually 3.75. Just advising so when you go to match to a holster. This is specific to the Performance Center Ported Barrel edition

Perfect for EDC

I had been in the market for a new single-stack 9mm for everyday carry, and had basically narrowed my choice down to the S&W Shield. Finally having saved up enough money, I strolled into my local Academy ready to buy it. Little did I know, Academy had

Love It

I bought my pc shield a few weeks ago 200 rounds through it and it has been flawless , right out of the box I was shooting 3in groups at 15 yards. I was very impressed. Definitely don't regret the purchase. This is now my edc.

Problems out of the gate.

Bought this pistol and could not get rounds to load in both mags. Took them both apart and the mag springs have collapsed/doubled over on themselves. Called S&W they said to send them in but springs are on back order. We'll just see how this turn

Academy Responded To Customer Inquiry

I contacted the main company at Katy (TX) and inquired about the possibility of obtaining this firearm in their stores and BAM! here it is within a bare minimal time frame. VERY impressive response. As for this firearm, simply amazing sight picture...sear

Model 327 TRR8

I bought the Model 327 last month at my local store. It's a beautiful shooting gun! Great trigger and sights. I loved shooting it both times before the barrel came loose. I'm now waiting for S & W to repair it. Warranty repair waits are 5 weeks.... As

Model 627 PC - Worth the premium

I bought the Model 627 Performance Center (.357 Magnum x 8 rounds):

Must have

All you could want from a 44 modest recoil crisp trigger in single as well as double action only a slight difference in price from other marketed 44 but also know this was precisely tuned and is very noticeable when fired

Bone Collector

Finally located an in stock 460 Bone collector at my local Cabelas, must be one of the last available. Very sweet piece, I purchased this to go with my PC Hunter, however, I will never shoot this one.

Fun to shoot!

I waited over a year to find the PC Hunter in stock at my local Cabelas store. Very accurate revolver and the muzzle break really tames the kick of a .44. The scope that came with the package is basically junk. Bottom line, excellent purchase.

Smith & Wesson

Great gun, scope is just ok as a red dot, no cross hairs though. Will most likely replace for better performance. Gun is great to shoot and very accurate. wish Smith & Wesson would go back to some of their old fashion machining practices with ammo ins

Incredible Gun

I wasn't really looking for another gun at Cabelas. I saw this new .44 magnum in the case and had to see it up close. It fit great in my hands and the weight was perfect. I bought it that day and have fired 80 bullets thru it. Shoots awesome. Handles grea

Awesome pistol

I was originally going to purchase the M&P Shield, however the day I finally decided to purchase, they were out of stock. So, I went with the Performance Center. Today, I went to the range and put 307 rounds through it and had no issues whatsoever. I

Night Sights sucks

I bought I though best SW shield, of course in terms of its price is the highest. Night sights. The night front night sight broken(does not illuminate) on the first day I picked up from Cabelas. i dd not find it out until I tried the night sights in a dar

Good value when on sale

Got the 9mm over the G43- the grip size worked better for my large hand, and it was cheaper than the 2.0 due to sale (2.0 also had really abrasive grip). No failures of any kind so far. Trigger reset is good. Trigger take up & break were a little grit

9mm shield

I'm a smaller person 5'4"and it fit my hand great. It's from the performance center it has good Hi-vis site's easy to pick up target. And a ported barrel that helps with muzzle rise to get back on target for follow up shoots

Perf Ctr Shied, as good as it gets.

Before purchase I rented a Glock 43 and a Shield. I wanted to like the 43 but shot much better with the Shield. The few mods I wanted to do were factory done on the Performance Center. Fantastic gun. 1000 rounds down and it keeps getting better. It did ne

Performance Center Shield

Had my eye on this firearm. A great feel, especially when using the 8 rd magazine which allows me to have 3 fingers on the grip. Put about 250 rounds through it at the range and it performed flawlessly.

Favorite Carry Pistol Ever!!

I bought this pistol on sale for $399.00, got it home cleaned and oiled it went right to the range to try it out, 1st round wouldn't load next round went off, third round failed to load after that I blew off 100 rounds of every different kind/brands I had

Nice EDC

I purchased the PC in 45 & liked it so much I went out & got the 9mm. Holsters seem to fit both calibers well however the 45's grip is more aggressive & I find it rubs my side raw using smaller IWB holsters. Switched up to Alien Gear 3.0 to so

Good trigger and very little recoil for a small pi

I have this in 9mm. I have about 1000 rounds through the gun and no issues at all. It’s pretty fun to shoot and I have good luck hitting a 12” steel gong at 25 yards.

Amazing Weapon! Perfect LTC Size!

First, you cannot go wrong with S&W. This is my 2nd performance series pistol and it performs as expected. Every single round is exactly where I intended. The ported barrel keeps the recoil down and allows for rapid target acquisition.

Great Carry Weapon

Love this weapon for conceal carry. Small, light, thin, fits my large hands well. with the extended clip installed.Love the performance model. Has fast aiming ability with the coloring of front and back. sites. Totally happy with this weapon for every day

Great pistol

We owned the Shield .40 and my wife and I really liked it. After seeing and reviewing online and personal reviews, I purchased the new Performance Center .45 ACP. Some people comment on the hand grip texture, I actually prefer the new hand grip when firin

Bigger is better

Why carry a 9 when you can carry a 45. Same size package and also a soft shooter

A sweet buy.

I have a 1911 but wanted something smaller to carry but still a 45 cal. Surprised at how little recoil this short of a pistol has and pleased with it's performance.

No Regrets

I like my M&P Shield 9MM. It has been very reliable (1250 rounds without a problem), and shoots well for a small pistol. The fiber optic sights are easy to pick up and hold on target. Shoots straight and does well even at medium distances. EDC is espe

Love it

Great gun just about everything about it is perfect. The only complaint I have is for the trigger. There is a lot of play and just real sloppy. Other than that no complaints.

EDC, not a range gun

I like my PC Ported M&P Shield .40. I think the size is perfect for Every Day Carry, it is very thin, very light weight, conceals well. I wore it around the house for 3 days before anyone noticed, On that day I wore the wrong shirt and leaned into the

Great Performance

I purchased the Shield as my primary ccw. It has been one of the best buys I have made in sometime! Went to the range and was impressed with the first shot! Dead center bulls eye.Used Federal Special edition for law enforcement. I have not been a fan of p

Accurate, poor HI-Viz sights and worse S&W service

Purchased this on recommendation from a family member for a carry gun and it does conceal well. Took a while to adjust to the single stack design; but after a while I adjusted and it shoots great.

Great Pistol

The weight of the pistol is great for CC. It's sights are very visible even in low light. Take down can be a little confusing at first because of the disarming lever which is not yellow after firing a number of rounds. At 25-30 Ft it was very accurate. I

conceal carry

great gun. A little difficult to load the magazine though

Friendly weapon for novice

Pleased with the ease of disassembly procedure and simplicity of design. A great weapon to learn the rudimentary construction of striker-fired pistols. Surprisingly reduced recoil and muzzle flip during firing compared to other like pistols I have fired i

Performance Center & Cabela's mishap

I bought the "Performance Center" model with night sights to receive the very best concealed carry gun. The front sight was bad, I have never fired the gun as it was sent back to S&W for repair. That was a month ago, and I still do not have

Sweet handling pistol

The S&W M&P Shield Performance Center Ported pistol is my new favorite. Why?- easy function, very intuitive and feels natural in the hand- accurate. I was shooting 8/10 in a 6 inch circle at 25 yards after shooting about 100 rounds and getting use

GREAT CC HANDGUN, OUTSTANDING VALUE

You cant go wrong with $75 off at the store and another $75 Rebate....Usually this just means you have a manufacturer dumping low quality product....but this is not the case. I purchased mine a few weeks ago and have run over 150 rounds through it with ze

Shield 45

Love this gun. It is awesome and would recommend it.

S&W Shield

Great gun great price

Great Performance, Great Price

I purchased my Performance Center M&P 9 mm last month for everday concealed carry and have not been disappointed. I have fired a few different types of rounds through it, and after a hundred plus rounds have not had a jam or other issue.

Quality Control?

Purchased gun and headed to the range. Shot about 50 rounds. Worked well, shot well. Went to tear down and clean the gun and the slide would not separate from the frame. Worked with it for awhile and called S&W support. In less than two minutes S&

Great Firearm at an Unbelievable Price

I'd carried a Glock 19 for carry but wanted something thinner for Spring/Summer. Great Shooter (Haven't shot mine yet but have shot 3 others) and sexy-looking pistol. My only caution is this firearm is extremely "stiff" (Racking/Releasing Slide/

Super nice!!!

GREAT pistol. Cycles flawlessly, the porting reduces recoil BIGTIME, the weight and balance is just right, and I love the sights!!!! Have four friends with the MP9 pro series shield and they all rave about em, I will now too. S&W rocks another wonderf

Great job S&W!

The 45 Shield is slightly larger than the 9mm Shield but fits all the holsters. The "ported" Performance takes the kick out of this relatively small 45 and is spot on at the range. The only negative (and I truly mean ONLY) is the grips are rough

Great CCW pistol

I've been a Glock fan for over 20 years. I've owned S&W revolvers, but the M&P Shield in .40 cal is my first semi-automatic from Smith & Wesson. I am very impressed. My gun is very accurate at distances up to 25 yards, the trigger is crisp, an

Amazing Gun

I am new to shooting (3 months) but found this to be an amazing gun. So amazing that I bought the 9mm version shortly after buying the .45. Comfortable grip especially with 7+1 magazine, and it has a nice weight to it. Sights are easy to see. The gun is d

Fantastic Self-defense / Home Protection Firearm

Took this gun to the range right out of the box and thought "WoW'

HIGH POWER CCW PISTOL

Compact carry pistol with serious knock down power ! 45 ACP is tops and add the Performance Center up grade to make a Super Quality pistol ! The ported barrel flash is NOT a problem in my opinion . The trigger and sights are first class! I also have a 9 m

S&W performance center shield 45 ACP

Awesome pistol @ awesome price. It is my everyday carry weapon!!!!!!

M&P Performance Center 40

Excellent EDC firearm! Smith and Wesson hit a home run with their Performance Center Shield 40, the ported barrel and lightened slide really makes​ a big difference in recoil, about the same if not less than my standard Shield in 9mm, which makes for supe

Easy to Handle and accurate

No problem carrying and very accurate. Had no problem putting all shots in the black at 50 ft.

M&P Shield Performance Center model is....WOW!!!

Simply put, this new Performance center 9mm shield is wonderful. Great sights, very reliable, and wow, what a trigger. Buy it, its sooooo much better than my old Shield with the Apex trigger. Very accurate and fun to shoot, great for concealed carry. If y

very well made

if you are looking for a ccw this will make a very capable weapon. I got this in 40 and straight out of the box shot dead center at 20 feet. the trigger is smooth sights are fast to reacquire.My brother has a standard shield in 40 and the ported barrel do

Very Solid CC 9mm

If you are looking for a CC weapon, this should be considered. I am a huge fan (admittedly, I have only put 100 rounds through it). But no issues and smooth. Only complaint is trigger pull a bit heavy, but as is the case with most standard trigger weights

VERY ACCURATE CONCEALED CARRY PISTOL

I purchased the Performance Center Ported Shield as a close in self defense pistol. I took it out to the range to sight in, and was surprised and pleased that it shot dead on at 15 yards. I did not have to drift the sights or make any other changes. The S

Great firearm

Love the upgrades to an already great gun. Trigger is smooth and ported barrel helps with recoil.

Nice S&W

Very Impressed with my new S&W ported Performance Center Shield 9 mm . Fits well in my hand and shot fantastic right out of the box at 21 and 31 feet. The muzzle flip was minimal due to the porting , something I noticed right away. Did get good groupi

Great pistol

I have put about 1000 rounds through it now and I'm very pleased with the accuracy and trigger pull. Compact. Not tiny but very lightweight so easy to carry without bringing attention. Breakdown is super easy for cleaning. Great quality for the dollar com

Excellant Carry Option

I've fired both the standard Shield and the Performance Center Shield. The extra money and wait to find the Performance Center model was well worth it. The trigger is very smooth and crisp and with the porting combined with the night sites it made target

A must have.

I am so glad I purchased this gun besides Smith and Wessons great reputation. It has so many other awesome features. Size and weight are perfect for those who want to use it as an everyday carry. Really light trigger pull. The fiber optic sights are a maj

handling

The pistol fits well in my hands and shoots to point of aim. The porting helps control muzzle" flip" and puts me back on target quickly. The trigger pull is just perfect for me and also helps keep the pistol on target. I find the 124-5 grain rou

Performance Center Accuracy

I bought this pistol because it was from the Performance Center and it felt good in my large hand. after shooting the pistol I was very pleased with everything about it but the best part was the accuracy and we all know how much that means.

S&W Did It Right

I've owned the base Shield for several years and it was always a good reliable carry pistol. This Performance Center version is so much better. The fiber optic sights really help with faster target acquisition, the trigger is much smoother and with the po

A Good Shooter.

We own two of these; one regular Shield and one Performance Center. Both shoot really well. Using Blazer Brass 115s & 124s they shoot to point of aim at 7 & 10 yds. They both just tear out the center of the target. I have large hands, so I needed

Better than expected!

Bought the new Performance Center Ported 9mm Shields for both the Wife & myself.We have the original Shields also.We both noticed a difference right off with accuracy & muzzle flip.Love the new trigger pull also!Highly recommended!

3 out of 4

Get a good one?This Smith also went back to the factory one day after purchase. The rear sight was off 1/4". I should have seen this at time of purchase.The rear sight is secured with red Loc-tite, cant adjust yourself. Internet shows how,BUT. This i

Great gun, even for EDC, reduced muzzle flip!

So the main thing I keep reading about is something along the lines of "you'll melt peoples faces off with a ported weapon!" People, I wouldn't recommend using +P with a ported gun, but short of that, I use Speer Gold Dot, and WWB 9mm 115 grain

Great Shooting Gun!

Had a regular shield for 4 years and decided to upgrade to the Performance Center. Glad I did! Super easy to shoot, great trigger, little muzzle flip, and nice sights. The upgrade is well worth the $100-150.

Front sight fell of first time shooting

I got 25 rounds through it. First shot was dead center but then front sight fell off. Has been at Smith and Wesson for over two weeks. I did not own gun 24 hours.

Meets and exceeds expectations

I purchased the performance center model in 9 mm. I have put a few hundred rounds through it and find it accurate, easily concealable, deadly with multiple shots because of the ported barrel, and the fiber optic sights allow for quick acquisition of the t

New ported shield 40 cal.

Had to send it back to S&W Shoots 5" left and 6 " low at 7 yards tried 4 different ammo's and 3 different shooters. Groups very tight just way of target. The porting works great the gun has very little muzzle lift.

Good - not Perfect

This is a good, very accurate 1911. I too had problems with the G10 grips coming loose after every trip to the range. Lock-Tite didn't fix the problem and made a mess of the threaded lugs. I replaced the lugs and added a set of wood laser grips and everyt

Very nice gun

Very smooth shooting pistol; less recoil/kick than what I was going to expect. Excellent looking gun doesn't hurt too! As with the 1911, more challenging to disassemble/reassemble, but practice makes perfect. You will not be disappointed.

Great 1911

Sorry that gent in TX had a bad apple. But I have one with around 300 rds and still solid as day one. The rail version is great home defense pistol. Love the exterior extractor, and the trigger is crisp. Loved the first purchased another plus a round butt

Junk and no help with problem

Nothing would hold hand guards tight-pistol was a rattling mess after 20 rounds. Nothing helped, not a gun smith, nothing. To add insult to injury Cabelas was happy to buy it back at 40% of retail I paid prior week. Absolute worst 1911 ever with nobody wi

Smooth and well balanced...

Shoots exactly how I would expect it to for the money. Straight up and down kick and the weight of the 5" brings it right back on target. While looks aren't everything, they don't hurt either!

Fantastic

After 1,000+ rounds, it shoot very well. Accurate, reliable, and just plain feels good in my hand. It conceals nicely. This gun has become my go to gun.

Works so far!

This 1911 is the best at that price range.
