I've been eyeing the MP9 Shield but wanted to hold out on buying one till they had been around for a while. It seems like a nice option for CC, more dependable than a PM9 and easier to conceal than a G26.
So they've have been out long enough for problems to appear, have any? I'm open to even rumors, they can be checked out you know. Just want to be as sure as I can before dropping the money on one.
Mine has been flawless. Almost to the point of boring. It's a great shooter!

I have a shield in 40 cal, and it eats everything. Recoil is managable too. I'm currently using Hornady 175 gr Critical Duty ammo as my choice.
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll

I have had no problems with mine either, using federal, Remington, pmc, and independence 115 gr fmj and Remington golden saber +P 124 gr. I'm sure if you look around a little on the Internet you'll find that the shield has lived up to the hype.

The honeymoon has just begun with mine!

Great gun, I have one in 9mm and love it... bought the M&P 9C because of the Shield lol.

My opinion shouldn't be taken seriously due to the fact that I've been shooting guns for over 30 years and have only recently been active on gun forums, where all the real world knowledge apparently is.

a loaded Sheild can easily have the slide knocked out of battery, and it does not return on its own. Basically you pull your Shield in a self defense situation, and all you will get is a click (if you're lucky).....gun will not fire. This is not an isolated instance, as I have read a lot of people complaining about this. All have sent back to Smith & Wesson for repair.
Do a google on this issue if you don't believe me. I love M&P's, so I have no stake in this other than to warn current owners to see if theirs does the same thing. It apparently only does this with a loaded weapon.

Went with the Walther PPS after comparing it and the Shield.

So it goes bang when it's empty? :)

Exactly what Bark'n said. Not one problem with mine, and shoot it weeklyOriginally Posted by Bark'n

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out as well.
I do not like the going out of battery thing on the shield. Can this be fixed? Are they all that way?

I double checked mine and it doesnt do this. So it can be isolated and if it did Smith and Wesson backs their products with a lifetime warranty
