M&P Shield...4 Years Later...Still The King Of Concealed Carry?
This review assesses the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm four years after its introduction, comparing it against newer competitors in the single-stack concealed carry market. The speaker, an experienced reviewer with over 1500 rounds through the test unit, highlights the Shield's durability, excellent aftermarket support, and comfortable shootability for its size. While acknowledging minor faults like a distinct trigger reset and occasional magazine seating issues, the review concludes the Shield remains a top-tier choice for concealed carry due to its balance of reliability, value, and practical performance.
