Funny, the "toy-like" feel is what I think of the Glock! The Shield 9mm might be the best handgun made in my opinion. Each to their own!

Very nice comparison dude! I have the PPS and thinking about picking up the shield. Thanks for the look see...

Thank you. One of the best reviews out there

Awesome review! I've been considering getting a Shield as a carry weapon and you've given some good information.

Nice two part review. Thanks!

Awesome review dude ....Congratz !!!

Great vids, thanks - was looking for a size comparison between the G26 and the Shield.

I have an interest in all three of these guns - thanks for the comparison!

Great video! just what i wanted to know, thanks!

Great review and comparison. Thanks. I like the Shield 9mm because I also own an M&P 9 full size and was very happy with its feel and performance. The Shield is a comfortable carry gun and is similar enough to the full size version that I don't get confused.

Great video, thanks for the follow up vid. Very excited to get my hands on a M&P Shield, but it's not going to be on the CA roster until probably summertime.

Good review. Thanks.

I have the com-tac holster for the M&P Shield. I love it, been using Cop-tac hosters for years.

Very nice rewiews!

Great review. Thank you! It would be really helpful if you could list the names/brands of the accessories (holsters, belts) that you mention in the video so we can find them more easily.

Video was good, very thorough. Everything I see and hear about the S&W Shield is positive. Seems like an excellent choice for someone who wants a good concealed carry pistol. I'm giving serious thought to purchasing one. Although Concealed Carry in The Peoples Republic of New Jersey is almost impossible to obtain by regular citizens. Though If you're one of the Beautiful People (Celebrity, Rich, Politically Connected) you have an excellent chance of getting a concealed carry permit.

Awesome review!!! I just heard about this gun and it seems like the answer I've been looking for - especially for summer carry. Still love my Glock 19 but......

nice review

Nice casual review...I can't find a shield..but I did find some stock in swhc :) i got antsy and bought (still in layaway) a PPS. Both fantastic. Thanks

love the shield could u make a video when u get the holster

Didn't mean to send that so quick, thanks for the nice comparison , good job. I may get the Talon grips but I only have a couple hundred rounds though it. I need to shoot it more. But I can tell you being a Marine and involved in law enforcement for many years- this gun is sweet. I know just about every video says this but it's true. Thanks again for the info. If you have a Gen 4 .40S&W I'd like your opinion on that weapon as it will probably be my next!

thanks for the follow up! I emailed comp-tac too and got the same answer.

The PPS mag release was admittedly a selling point for me. I own HK's and they are my primary defensive handguns, so adjusting my muscle memory wasn't an issue. Both of these weapons are awesome. Can't say I'm a fan of the Shields' external safety, but I guess you don't need to use it. I'm really glad the M&P improved the reset on the trigger. I really with Walther managed to squeeze another round in the PPS, but I am still very glad I opted for it. Thanks for the video!

You should look at a tactipac holster. I love mine. I have the fusionpac holster. Good review. I am looking for an M&P shield for my carry instead of carrying my full size M&P. I'm not a big guy so it's not very concealed unless it's cold out lol. I rented one at a range and I have to say I'm in love with it. They had the ext grip on it which was loose but I'm sure that can be corrected. S&W needs to get their asses in gear and start pumping out more shields because I just can't seem to find one

your right 40 is my fav i have a standard mp 40 our dealers have not been able to get the 40 sheild yet

dryflyelk Where and or how did you get the PPS in the Flat Dark Earth color? Thanks

Great video, still trying to get out to the range to shoot my Shield.

I like the holsters who makes them again? I couldn't really tell my audio sucks on my pc.

Great review. That M&P Shield trigger looks nice. That just might make me wanna trade or sell my PPS for it.

It would be helpful if in the About section that you put the link to the first video and vice-versa. It can take a while to go searching for the prior video on the right hand side, etc.

Can u compare apps to apps a compact and a shield ?

Great comparative review, never really liked the Walther. LOVE the Shield in 9 and 40. And check out Theiss Holsters, Tommy Theiss does Great work

How come the slide says S&W on the Walther?

The pps was one of the first sub compact semi autos ever made. People say its too big but that is compared to the latest 9mm pistols. It's very slim and very accurate but not everyone likes the trigger guard mag release (I do). The pps is a fantastic compact 9mm with great reliabilty and pinpoint accuracy but there are smaller options. There are nice pocket 9's out there for a bit more money. I would have chosen the kahr compact series if I opted to spend another 100-120 bucks.

I was thinking about getting the Walther PPQ as my next gun, whatever I'm going to have to pay at least $50 for an extra magazine then I'm going on another route. Does anyone know if the extra magazines for the PPQ are as expensive as the PPS?

FYI, Comp-Tac already has a M&P Shield MTAC holster available.

Any experience with the Shield vs. Sig P938?

shield or bodyguard .380?

Can the Glock 26 holster fit the m&p shield

I carry my shield in the DeSantis Intruder same style of the two holsters you have and I love it.

Your right it is a great gun

As of 9/10/15, i now own all three.All great pistols in their own right.

As an owner of both a Kahr PM9 & Glock 26 I thought I'd check out the Shield to see what all the fuss was about. After having doing so I'm not impressed. I found the trigger pull dangerously light and toy-like in feel. I know the Shield can be purchased with/without a safety but as someone who prefers no safety on their CC guns this was a deal breaker for me. Both the PM9 & G26 have it beat hands down.

Considering s&w is importing the Walther it is no surprise how they looked identical

Safety Nazi says you didn't safety check those guns! You pointed it right at me!!! You could have killed the whole internet!! j/k Good vid. I like the PPS and G26. I already own a Nano, which I'll keep, mainly because the idea of selling it at a loss is a hassle. I do like it though, and it hides and carries very well, which is my primary consideration for a CCW. I can carry that 6+1 with no worries about a light trigger AD, unlike the Glock, which kinda scares me to carry hot.

Where can you find a Shield?

Last I saw they were around 40 apiece, depending on where you find them. I personally love my PPQ and having to pay extra for mags is a necessary evil I'm willing to endure to have such a wonderful pistol.

You should really check out Blackpoint holsters, they are very nice and comfortable.

My S&W Shield owner's manual says no +P ammo.

Old Faithful holsters has them for the M&P shield look them up.

Yeah that's not so bad. I think on average pretty much all the mags out there are about $35-$40 so I can deal with that, but $50+tax/shipping is a little too much for more...I'm officially jealous btw, I would love to have a PPQ but for now I'm good with my .40 M&P. Cheers!

Thanks for the correction ;) Guess there're not too many differences are there?

As an owner of a Kahr PM9 you haven't really explained why your prefer the Shield to it. I own a CW9 and I just can't see the need to purchase a Shield, though it looks like a really good and reliable handgun. Why do you like the Shield more than the Kahr?

The mag drop is not that big of a deal. I love it! One 7 rounder and an extra 8 rounder is plenty for carry I think.

smith & wesson mp9 sheild hands down all day

whats wrong with .40 cal? don't they make it in .45 also? 1 less round bit more punch.

i have a glock compact in .40, but i'm lusting for a m&p shield .40 cause of how dern small it is. i have heard its the smallest battle pistol to be had.

NGS (new gun syndrome) The Shield wins because it is the latest greatest. I bet if the PPS came out latest it would have been "the best". We've all been guilty of it.

Based on the first part of this vid or the "M&P 9 Shield" on the slide of the Shield....I'd guess 9mm.

Wow, I’ll be the iconoclast here. I’ve shot 3 different Shields. Hated them all. They always felt cheap, squishy triggers, and not accurate at all. I’ve shot my neighbor’s Glock once with him. Also not accurate. I’ve owned the PPS M1 for 4-5 years now, and love it. Tightly engineered, higher quality than the Shield. And as accurate or more so than my PPX...and that’s an accurate gun. The VP9 gives it a run, but that’s saying something. The PPS trigger is okay, not the best, but I can hit 1-2” groups all day long at 7-10 yds.

also the shield is much cheaper about $150 at my local gun shop

I shot a Beretta 92FS (M9 for you Americans), shot a Glock 17 and a P99.. now i own the P99 because of the fabulous mag release... use your trigger finger to manipulate it and you will never want anything else ;) I personally perfer the looks and the feel of the shield but the mag release is towing me towards the pps :-/

I know people hate the PPS's looks and say it's ugly but I personally think it's good looking. I actually think the Shield is an ugly handgun, but that's just me.

You can't lol. No but on a serious note as soon as they come in anywhere local to me they sell within an hour.

Sometimes I forget I have my glock 29

Congratulations. You deff could have left the M9 off, not exactly a 92. The US likes our thumb releases.

The PPS is remarkably ugly

***** But remarkably more pleasant to shoot than the other two due to the grip you get closer to the bore axis.
