The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Range Session

[@ckoritko]

As someone who finally decided it was time for an EDC (thanks to recent political/cultural developments), I really appreciate this video. Thanks for the guidance! Was already a subscriber, but this definitely proves just how meticulous you are in genuinely informing your viewer base in every aspect of owning a firearm. Thank you for the consistent quality content! Stay safe and don’t comply!

[@robertevans3173]

Love these drill videos. Keep them coming. As a novice shooter this helps with not knowing what to do or if you are getting "good" practice. Rather than just making your gun go bang.

[@lastactionmedic5677]

I prefer the shield. I own a 40 Shield, and I’ve also owned a Glock 43, 26, 27, LCP, CPX 2. I’ve heard this from more than one channel, but to me it feels like a fighting gun. Just the right angle and it fills the hand. Love the channel bud 🇺🇸👍

[@tommytP2000]

Couldn't agree more regarding the fighting gun feel; especially over the LCP that you mention. I'm not at all a fan of that trigger. I live in California so am not privey to the Glock 43. I do not like the grip angle of glocks, so I really don't care for the 26 (havent shot a 27) so ended up going with an P2000sk .40 despite being an DA/SA trigger.

[@Shadow3ffect]

I been carrying my original M&P Shield for almost 13 years now. Put easily 3000 rounds through it and had less than 5 jams and a couple stove pipes. Other than that. It’s been my GO to EDC and a diamond back DB9 Gen 2 in my pocket or ankle and MP5 in my trunk. As you can tell I love S&W and 9mm

[@JasonRymell]

Chris, thank you for taking into consideration those of us who own single stacks and want to run drills. This will be greatly beneficial for me with my Walther PPS M2.

[@tommytP2000]

That is the pistol I would have chosen had I not lived in Camifornia. Best ergos of all 3 inchers.

[@user-hp8fn1wd7t]

I carry an original Shield 9 and it's a reliable and capable pistol. This gun isn't a target pistol, it's a close quarter self defense pistol. RELIABLE is it's strength.

[@deadheart556]

Bought it because it was cheap and I needed it for special occasions when I need a tiny gun. I have big fat hands and hate small guns. I love this gun

[@michaeltristan]

Good bit of info.. thanks for sharing.

[@EatonEditing]

When I finally find a place where I can run these drills, I'm absolutely going to try this.

[@patmcneal1525]

I somehow missed this video when it came out.. Well done, I have a 9mm Shield, and I am grateful for some drills that are applicable for small guns........

[@Dennisthemenace40]

I acquired a Shield about a year and a half ago. I wasn’t sure what to make of it but the price was incredible. I’ve put as many rounds through it in that time as I have through other pistols I’ve had for 10 years. It’s really a great shooting gun, reliable and accurate. I can put 80% of rounds fired on a silhouette target at 50 yards unsupported with ho-hum ammo. It’s one of my favorite guns. That took me by surprise.

[@big6red389]

I loved how you made it a 50 round drill and not some crazy hundreds of rounds were you wouldnt be able to practice on a regular basis

[@greggagnone5135]

Didn't like the grip on this gun till i got the rubber talon grips and now i carry this gun everywhere with the 8 round magazine in it and a spare 8 rounder. For the price i don't think you can do better.

[@barcelona2170]

I actually carry the same setup. My buddy who turned me on to it said it best in my opinion “Shoots like a big gun, carries like a small gun.”

[@thadmoss5585]

Are the talon grips good for sweaty hands? I have shield 9

Talon sandpaper grips and truglo pro night/day and a shield is really hard to beat. Smaller than a Glock and ultra reliable.

[@gsb5w291]

He points out the manual safety not being designed very well and I totally agree. I totally agree and that’s why I bought the NTS version although I wanted the other version.

[@williamryan7403]

The manual safety is well designed. It is two clicks up to activate and a light sweep,one click down to deactivate. It smoothes out with use. There is no guess work with it and it is not going to activate inadvertently.

[@LYLEWOLD]

i like the shield, a lot. the grip can be a challenge, little too slick (poor texture) and very narrow. hogue handall jr helps a lot. adds grippy rubber texture, and a bit of palm swell. i find it shifts around a bit, so i'd crazy glue it in place for a carry gun, but it's great. if anyone has a shield and finds it difficult, handall is ~$10 and might help.

[@tommytP2000]

Night and day actually!! I have the beavertail version because I like having a little more gurth in the web of my hand with this pistol. I have long skinny fingers compared to most.

[@bugler2B]

[@djay6651]

I think its important to practice reloading. When I was active Army, I could reload without looking, which helps keep you aware of the environment.

[@tommytP2000]

Great comment. So whats the first thing you do to know the mag is inserted in the correct position. I keep my extra mags holstered facing a direction to where the top of my hand is always forward when downward and upward, but I also do a quick thumbtap to be certain I'm feeling the top of the hollow-point. Anything else you recommend?

[@djay6651]

@@tommytP2000 Not really. For me, it's the muscle memory that facilitates the speed. If I'm thinking about it, that's what slows me down.

2.0 Compact?

[@BubbaBlackmon]

The shield 2.0 has a much more aggressive grip texture..no need for talon grips.. and a much improved trigger. It is about 1.5 lbs lighter and has a shorter reset. The best single stack 9mm just got better.

[@MegaAppleshit]

My shield 2.0 kind of chews up my hands. It is great if you like short range sessions, but if you are like me and shoot 200 rounds every time you go shooting, it starts to hurt.

[@82lowe36id]

Thinking about getting an M2.0 since my main issue with the gen 1 Shield is lack of grip texture.

[@BubbaBlackmon]

@@82lowe36id You can buy Talon grips and fix the grip texture problem but the biggest advantage to the shield 2.0 is a much improved trigger. I have an Apex trigger kit on my original shield and I still prefer the 2.0 stock trigger.

[@BubbaBlackmon]

@@MegaAppleshit I usually shoot about 150 rounds with my shield 2.0and it never bothers my hand. But 50 rounds shooting +p 38 special out of a snubbie and I'm ready to quit.

[@MegaAppleshit]

@@BubbaBlackmon I could shoot my revolver all day, but don't usually shoot it for more than 5 cylinders worth at a time. I shoot full power factory 357 magnum most of the time and honestly, the only reason that I don't shoot more at a time is because it gets hot as hell. It is a Ruger SP101 btw. I guess I have more tender skin, but tougher hand muscles.

[@82lowe36id]

Just got back from range and ran my old gen 1 Shield (with Apex trigger) and my P365 through dot torture. I ended up scoring a 37 with the P365 and 42 with the Shield. I did not exepct that at all. This reminded me just how good the Shield is.

[@chrisbonnett6783]

I shot the shield better than my full-size M&P. So much so, I bought a second shield as a backup for SHTF.

[@Bigtrain1]

Well done, I use the +2 =10. I have large hands so this works best for me. If you run this was you need to make sure that the magazine spring stays above 3 lbs or it will malfunction. .

[@tommytP2000]

Promag makes a 10 rounder for this; however, there is debate on the reliability with such, which results in many not recommending carrying the promag 10 as a backup. As well, you can now buy + 1 for the s and + 2 baseplates to install onto the factory magazines which I'm hearing is reliable. But aside from all of that, great video. Espeicially with how you are keeping you shooting arm tight and hand centered. Thats always a first and biggest correction I'm seeing with people in CCW courses.

[@TranquilityAcres]

Nice job, appreciate it..

[@jshepard152]

This gun is a steal. I've seen it recently for $250 from Palmetto State Armory, Grabagun, etc.

[@hardcase144]

For those who think the grip on the shield is a little slippery , try cutting up a bicycle inner tube and slip that on the grip it will solve that issue . Then slip another one over that one and the grip will be slightly thicker. This gun now feels perfect.

[@williamryan7403]

Hogue grips make a proper fitting grip sleeve for the shield. I have one on mine. No need no to improvise with bike tires of skateboard tape. It's 2021.

[@hasanmichael4966]

The Shield is definitely not for the novice so I can understand why some people don't like it. (#trolling) I have a later production Shield 1 with an Apex trigger upgrade and it's my go to CCW. That trigger upgrade really made the difference for me hitting the target each time. It didn't make it a lighter pull, it changed the break and the reset, it also took out the gritty feel so now it's smooth. Just feels much better, like a really good trigger instead of just an okay trigger.

[@farstrider79]

Any thoughts on the 2.0? I didn't care for the original, but I do love the 2.0! I know there isn't that much difference, but it feels like a whole new gun to me.

The first couple of mags once they were empty the gun wouldn't slide after last shot and then i had 4 failure to extract an over 6 times that it wouldn't put a round in the chamber so i had to bump it in the back to get it to shut. I shot 165 shots 15 hollows and the rest were ball ammo. I was shocked by how many times it jamed. Shot a beretta 92fs 700 round only 1 FTE

[@Wcquick]

it is easy to carry concealed. I own the 2.0, no safety and trust the pistol for self defense purposes. I experience discomfort (extreme trigger bite) firing the pistol 50 plus rounds. The trigger pull is consistent and reliable, it simply bites

[@obbionekanovi]

Great clip again, thanks. One question if I may... when are you opening your Lucky Gunner Academy? I'm sure you will have a lot of business. Take care, stay safe. ;)

[@josemariaalipio449]

Cool vid. :) Pretty cool how a revolver company makes semi-autos too. 😅 On a slightly unrelated note, would you guys consider a points-of-aim video as well? From a self-defense perspective, what areas should we shoot to stop the threat ASAP?

[@Crybaby-dd3ls]

Center mass, baby.

[@hasanmichael4966]

Not sure I would call Smith & Wesson just a Revolver Company. Pretty sure they have been making pistols for just over 100 years now. You know they make an AR15 also right!? I think they own Thompson Center also which would mean they produce hunting rifles also.

[@Crybaby-dd3ls]

Smith & Wesson made their name selling revolvers during the civil war because soldiers couldn't afford Colts. Similar to today with Ruger and S&W.

[@hasanmichael4966]

I understand that but they are not JUST a revolver company, that's all I'm saying. I have become a fan boy after buying a few of their products recently, one of them being the Shield. I like Ruger also, and they are also more than just a revolver company. When i think of Ruger i think of the Mini14, P-Series, LCR/LCP, and of course my favorite the Redhawk (I actually like the 45acp model a lot. It has a different feel than the 44mag version. Nicer built I think.).

[@Crybaby-dd3ls]

I like S&W too, but their QC has dropped. My 442 had a canted barrel and they were jerks when I called. My Shield is great, though. You should get the 4.2" Redhawk in .357. Reminds me of the old S&W, when they cared about their revolvers.

[@jshepard152]

@JKay11235 I love my 19 but I wouldn't carry it.

[@CheifDegenerate]

How about a video of the Beretta Nano?

[@jec1ny]

Eh. It's not a bad gun. Actually it's fairly decent. But it's not for me. It only holds 1 (or 2) more rounds than my EDC and ammo capacity is really the main argument for semi-autos. And frankly I am more comfortable with my 3rd issue Colt Det. Spl. If I were ever to seriously consider switching to a semi-auto I'd probably take a hard look at one of the M&P Compacts.

[@jec1ny]

True. But statistics suggest the odds or my having a need for my gun, having a need to discharge my gun and further needing more than the six rounds it carries are in the same league as my lottery tickets. In short, I'm not losing sleep over it. (FTR I do carry a speed loader.)

Thank you for doing this video . Can you plz do a comparison on the M&P shield and the Glock 19 gen 3( I'm in California and that's all we can get ) . Plz and thank you

[@4150CHF]

I am guessing for home defense since it is unlikely that you can conceal carry in Californistan. Glock 19 wins hands down in that case. 15 or 17+1 (G19) vs 7 or 8+1 (Shield) and Longer barrel (G19) = greater velocity. However, I would recommend a rifle caliber carbine with a quality light for home defense.

[@williamryan7403]

They are two completely different pistols. The Glock is a midsized offering. The shield is a subcompact. The shield is a far better choice for true concealed carry. The 19 can be concealed to with clothing,but in California it is more difficult with it's warmer climate. Also be aware that whether you have a permit or not any contact with police could result in you being shot if they see you with a gun showing in the State. I recommend a Smith and Wesson j frame DAO model. It is the best choice for concealed carry in California and will disappear in the pocket with proper holster.

[@williamryan7403]

@@4150CHF We are limited to 10 round capacity and concealed permits are hard to obtain in this State. The best choice for home defense is the 12 gauge pump,Jframe revolver for carry. Any high quality semi auto will do for general purpose or home defense backup because 10 rounds is all you get in California.My choice for that would be the CZ Rami with the decocker if you could find one. The Glock prints too much and will draw unwanted attention in this paranoid State of California.A well oiled and broke in Shield is good but it's not a beginners rig because it takes use and training . Everyone wants instant results these days.It takes a. 1000 rds or better training to get the shield broke in and develop proper muscle memory. I don't recommend trigger jobs etc. It will void warranty. There is no substitute for time and patience to break in a Smith and Wesson product.

[@4150CHF]

Pump shotgun and J-frame are not the best choice in my opinion. Pump shotguns are notorious for short shucking (user error) under stress. The J-frame is awesome but it requires practice to become and remain proficient when compared to semi auto firearms. By the way, I sometimes carry a J-frame and I own a Mossberg 500.

[@williamryan7403]

@@4150CHF You can short stroke any firearm. Let's be honest, Like it or not in California we are limited in capacity and ammo options.

Hey Chris, I'm a big fan of lucky gunner and I buy my ammo from you guys but I need some advice, I met a police chief in Texas and in his experience, 9mm was not an effective round at all, he talked about how criminals would take multiple hits with 9mm and they wouldn't stop. When he and his officers switched to .45 and .40 they didn't have stopping power issues. What .40 or .45 guns would you reccomend for concealed carry? Should I stick to 9mm? I can afford anything below 1,500 dollars so price isn't and issue. Thanks.

[@LuckyGunner]

Stick with 9mm. Modern JHP 9mm ammo is in a different class than what was issued to LEOs 20 or 30 years ago. Departments using loads like 124 gr +P Speer Gold Dot have not had any complaints about the performance of 9mm.

[@ahessent]

.45 is not a bad idea, and it's right between the 9mm and .40 as far as snappiness goes (in my exp). There's now a Shield in .45 acp, also Springfield XDS in .45, and a variety of .45 1911 commander/officer (look at Dan Wessons ECO/CCO or similar). 9mm is fine, but if you're really concerned you can try .45 or .40 (.40 in small/light guns is quite snappy for me) 9mm gives more ammo on board tho.

Difficult to load. The spring is very tight. Too tight, actually

[@egads2]

Using phrases such as "guns going 'off'" puts a burr in my saddle. Pistols, handguns, firearms don't "go off," they get fired. This lends to the excuse, "the gun just went off." Regarding the Shield as a limited capacity (what's "unlimited?"), the mag capacity can be increased by two rounds for each 8 round and 7 round magazine allowing for the highest capacity to be 11 rounds and 10 rounds, using a Mag Guts spring kit. The drill portion is useful but my range doesn't allow head shots indoor.

[@w.d.jennings8824]

HI, Egads2, Sadly for me living in Massachusetts, a mag holding more than 10 is not compliant, legally, and you will be breaking one of our, many beautiful gun, restrictions law.Also, this new Shield only comes with 2 mags a 7 round mag, and a 8 round mag, the shield, is excellent, and I love it..

The 2.0 is much better

[@pimpinainteazy278]

I have a shield... glad the hype train derailed. Switching to the Vp9 for edc.

[@Saku19]

Lmao. The VP9 was textbook hype train, turned out to be POS.

[@harrymallory7963]

My M&P Shield just beat up your Vp9.

Seriously?

[@ioakimmakis9288]

In most European countries, no defense gun is allowed. Airguns should not be used for this purpose (stupid idea), but there is one airgun, the Walther PPQ M2 T4E, by UMAREX (using .43 pepper or rubber) that is not illegal, yet. Do you think that it can be used as a tool (i am not calling it a gun) for defense purposes? (just in case one cannot run away from an intruder.)

[@4150CHF]

Can you have a crossbow?

[@jshepard152]

Is pepper spray illegal? Because a good pepper spray is awesome.

[@VMJM85]

Let me guess you carry a Glock?
