  • This is my full review of the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus, my specific model has a 4" barrel that is non-ported and it has been through the performance center. The Smith & Wesson Shield Plus has become my favorite gun that I have bought in a while and by far the most common in my EDC line up. In this video I explain what features the Shield Plus has that have won me over during the time I've owned it.

      Is there a laser for the regular shield plus? Crimson trace dosen't make one. Armalaser says theirs won't fit.

      Check out the description of the video. I have a link for the “stream light & laser combo”.. it will fit the standard shield plus and it has a setting for laser only, or you can go light only, lastly can run the combo of both light and laser. Take care Archer.

    I'll just say it... The 4'' Shield Plus is the BEST do-all gun ever created. For me at least... It does everything supremely well, tons of mag size options depending on level of concealment needed - and the 4'' barrel shoots more accurate and better for me than my G19.

    Awesome review, man! Best I've seen on the Shield Plus. You're a great shooter and hit all the important aspects that shooters want to know. I recently picked one of these up on a whim because I saw it sitting in the used gun area at my LGS at an insane price. Now I think it might actually replace my decked out P365XL! I'm super impressed. The trigger blew me away! I'm replacing the supplied CT optic with a Swampfox Sentinel.

    Thanks for the review brother! Good to hear you make the comments about different grip angles and curved versus flat triggers. If your shooting techniques and fundamentals are sound, then none of these differences should matter all that much. The only thing I'll say about the Glock grip is not that the grip angle is a problem, but that the grip feels like a block in the hand and is not as ergonomic as the M&P, VP9, etc. Keep up the good work and Glory to God!

    I've had the .45 Shield 2.0 for a while now. It's perfect even for my big hands, except for capacity. Just picked up the plus for the additional capacity. Switching from the .45 to 9mm is a welcome change. I throw it in my Sticky holster and it conceals perfectly.

    Got the 3.1" performance modle 3 weeks ago and loved it so much I sold my hellcat and ordered the 4" performance modle with the RMR and it should be waiting for me tomorrow. 🥳 this is my first m&p simply because I didn't care for the gen 1s, But now I think its the #1 micro 9 and subcompact gun you can get. 13+1 rounds, a little fatter grip that fits my big fat hands, best trigger on any stock hand gun I've felt, and somehow that small thing isn't close to being as snappy as the hellcat. It shoots so fast and smooth I want to buy 5 more 🤦‍♂️

    I bought a S&W Shield Plus earlier this year. I loved it until last week. I have less than 1,000 rounds through the gun and on Sunday, I went to clean it and could not disassemble the gun. I youtubed it and found out the the slide stop spring on the shield plus is exposed just above the takedown lever on inside of frame. It is the only S&W to do this and probably one of the only guns to do this ( terrible idea). There is a little groove that the spring sits in and if it gets out of that groove, it will not allow the user to disassemble the firearm ( the slide will catch on that spring and get jammed). So I contacted S&W and at first they tried to deny the part existed. Then I gave them the part number ( part number 422180000) a user on UA-cam mentioned who had same issue and they are mailing me part to take to my gunsmith. They also told me that I should mail the firearm to them for 10 + weeks ( I can't risk that legislation won't change illegaly in meantime and secret dictator Obama won't keep my property). So they said that if I fix the gun on my own ( the same gun that they built faulty from the factory) , then my warranty would no longer be valid if I took the firearm to a licensed gunsmith.... I went from loving the Shield Plus, to absolutely hating it over S&W customer service and the design of the interior of the frame. All it takes is for that exposed spring to come lose and you get totally screwed by S&W! DO not buy the Shield Plus, it is a lemmon out of the box. I wish I could upload a picture to prove it... Just search S&W Shield Plus won't dissassemble on youtube and you will see the multiple videos of frustrated people with the firearm....

That little piece completely blocked the insertion of a magazine, forcing me to disassemble and properly place the disconnect into position. Other than that the pistol is awesome!

    I purchased a shield plus performance center with the crimson trace red dot a month ago. I'm a brand new pistol owner and have found it to be very accurate and have run about 500 rounds through it with various ammo without an issue. Sadly, I live in Upstate New York and we have a limit to 10 round mags, my gun only came with 1 magazine and they are nowhere to be found, I called S & M and they had no date on availability and said to check back in September. The shield plus is my edc gun and with 1 magazine it feels useless. I love the gun but don't understand the magazine issue.

S&W definitely dropped the ball on spare mags, and I am sure it is due to global materials shortages and logistic problem all Manufacturers are facing right now. Don’t let it get you down too much Michael, it’s only a waiting game now and the extra mags will be available eventually. Take care and welcome to the channel.

    What's your opinion on the ported version vs the standard?

    • @shootersresourcechannel642
      @shootersresourcechannel642  2 роки тому +2

      I’m not a big fan of ported because of the added vertical flash. If you have a lot of trouble with recoil, the ported could possibly help with shooting flatter. The standard shield plus is a pretty flat shooter for a micro compact.
      Regularly practicing recoil control drills is the most important and will yield better results than ported barrel. The bill drill is one of the most simple and one of my favorite drills for recoil control. It’s best to get a shot timer or download a shot timer app to track progress. The Bill drill consist of drawing and firing 6 rounds (can be done with 5rds as well). I typically try to hit a 12” target with all at 5-7 yards when I want to focus on speed, and an 8” target at 10yards or more when I want to work more on accuracy while speed shooting. Happy training, hope this helps.

    I was looking at the M&P EZ for my first hand gun then saw this one too. I liked how the EZ had a grip safety and slide safety but this one only has a trigger safety. Also I didn’t think you could mount a light on the shield plus since it lacked the rail that the EZ has. What light are you using? And also what would you recommend for a first time pistol carrier, this or the EZ? Not sure if the grip safety and slide safety would just become annoying

      TLR6 light: amzn.to/3zEn7VW
      TLR6 light & Laser: amzn.to/2Wvi3oP
      Holster (I had to apply heat and open the bottom up for the 4" barrel, very easy, but I recommend just buying the regular 3” shied plus anyway as it is more concealable): amzn.to/3rAJh8Q

    I like your taste in Cuban coffee and your your choice of firearms. They designed a great micro 9mm pistol, but you are paying the price for the micro-compact version. I believe that they have come out with best micro-compact pistol. I'm just not a fan of the micro 9s. I believe that you get more accuracy and reliability with an optics ready compact size pistol like a Glock 19, CZ P10C, H&K VP9, or FN 509 C which are IMHO better pistols, have less recoil, and are less expensive.

    I have this exact shield plus. I love the gun, except that it is unreliable. I've put 500 rounds through mine, and at first it fired just fine, but after 300 or so rounds, it started with failure to feeds. On one magazine (the 13 rounder, but only filled with 11) rounds 3,4,5 and 6 were all failure to feeds. My last two trips to the range were punctuated by failure to feeds. I will not be carrying this gun until the problem is corrected by Smith and Wesson. I've gone back to my M&P 9c, which has been utterly reliable since I bought it in 2007.
