I got my Shield plus with the 3.1 inch barrel about 3 weeks ago. Luckily I got the optical cut with night sights, didn’t even pay attention to what model I got until I got home. Paid $489 for it. What sold me was the 15 round magazine from the equalizer fit it also. Put a red dot from another gun on it with an adopter plate from Amazon. Works great.

You hit the nail right on the head with the take about Sig. it’s not just the P365 but two years ago I was the armorer NCO for my unit (Army) and our M17s kept going out of battery, the rear sights began popping off when shooting them - our civilian armorers & weapon repair (91F) serviced them multiple times and the reliability still wasn’t there. I had 121 M17s assigned and we had two pelican cases full of deadlined M17s which was over 50% of my inventory. That’s why I have only Glocks, FN’s, HKs & S&Ws for my personal use.

I’ve put about 800 rounds thru my shield plus…no issues…really like how it shoots!

Shield Plus also has stock 15rd mags now.

Glad to hear this for I would rather have a 15 round mag come with the gun as opposed to the 13. Having just got to handle a 15 rounder and compare it to a 13, the size difference is negligible so more bullets = more gooder as far as I'm concerned.

Got the Shield Plus Performance Ctr with ported slide & barrel bout a year ago. Was a bit disappointed they weren't manufactured with a Picatinny rail... so I added the Recover SHR9 bolt-on rail. The rail stops flush with the muzzle and surrounds the front of the trigger guard. The rail is well-made. Big fan of Olight products so I added the Picatinny compatible Olight BALDR S model green laser/flashlight to the Recover rail. The Olight extends beyond the muzzle about 3/4" so it does reduce concealability a bit. Also added Talon Grips. While the stock grip texture is excellent, the Talon Grips extend grip texture further up the beaver tail and much closer to the slide (1/16" below the slide lock). Liked the included extra Talon squares that shipped with the grips to use as indexing points on the slide for your finger. And upgraded the stock fiber optic sights to Trijicon night sights. Also upgraded the stock S&W 10-round mag with a Pearce mag pinky extension. Talon Grips also makes adhesive grips for the extended mags if you want to match the look/feel of the Talon frame grips. Model I bought did not come optics ready. Costs about $167 from 3rd-party to mil the slide. Haven't convinced myself to do it. Now that I think about it, gotta stop spending money on this thing. Jeesh.

You won’t be disappointed with it! I have both the shield plus with a 3.1 inch barrel and the 4 inch barrel bolt are excellent guns!

Most definitely! I just put another 500ish rounds through this gun with zero issues. The shoot-ability of such a small gun is VERY impressive.

The extended mags come close to turning it into a “normal” size gun for sure

Shot my buddy's 365 at the range and holy heck that thing kicked. Went back to my shield and it was heaven. I'm glad I did a lot of research on micro compacts and arrived at the decision of getting my shield plus.

All of these micro 9s snap but the larger size of the shield certainly makes it more shootable for me as well. It’s my favorite of the micros

I just bought one and picking it up in a few days. Here in CA it only comes with two ten round mags and one pinky extension, but even the larger guns only come with 10 round mags anyway. Cant wait to see how it shoots.

Wider grip for support hand. EXACTLY why I got one!! I also had the regular 365

Look into the pierce add-on grip for the 10 round magazine. Makes a huge difference.

Yea. The pierce mag extension gives you a full grip and locks your hand in place. Also helps to draw from iwb.

Or the magguts...add 3 extra rounds to the 10rd mag

I got mine for $399.99,but not the optics cut.I really didn’t know about optics cuts till recently.I thought you still had to send them in to get cut.I use it for carry,so I’m actually not bothered by that for that reason.I believe you will really enjoy the gun,there great!!!!

i love my m&p's i have had the shield 2.0 now i have the shield plus with night sights and the m&p 2.0 compact. magguts for the magazines are a bonus

I’m currently swapping to smith and Wesson. So far I have the 2.0 compact the 4.25 full and next will be a shield plus.

You and I went down similar roads. I got the 2.0 compact slide w/full size grip to serve as my duty gun. Waiting on my 2.0 compact to be delivered which will be my "heavy" CCW pistol/travel carry gun. And this shield plus, which works as my normal EDC. Also have the 2.0 in 10mm functioning as my backpacking bear pistol. I did not intend to be all S&W'ed out but it kinda just ended up that way.

I’ve had a 2.0 Compact for years and never a single malfunction. Got it second hand from a deputy sheriff buddy.

My taste would require a Talon grip for this gun. I seem to love them on almost everything. I am going to check the price on these. Great video-Thank you-God bless.-Take care.

I’m honestly not sure why people trust sig so much they don’t have a great track record.

Sig mags have flaws too

“First Thoughts” and “Initial Impressions”

$hitty trigger reset and too many reports of the roll pin walking loose randomly. That’s unacceptable for any gun, especially a carry gun. I’ll stick with my Sig p365, which had never had a single malfunction. Ever.

@combatant_training_group

Personally I don’t really care about trigger reset. The lack of “spring” on the reset is a trait common to all M&Ps I’ve shot. Never heard of the roll pin walking out, I’ll be sure to keep an eye on that. My 365 ran well but I personally know two instances of them having out of battery Detonations and going Ka-boom. Good ones and bad ones of all models and brands

I own just about every version of Sig and M&P and not a single issue with none. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and I respect that completely. A small drop of Loctite with a smidgen of sense can do wonders. "I shouldn't have to do work on a brand new $500+ gun". Yeah, and we shouldn't have to go everywhere armed out of concern of being attacked, but here we are.
