They have an April 12th release and they are releasing teaser trailers, but for some reason I can't view it.

Everyone on the m&p forum is guessing single stack pocket m&p 9 or 40. If it is, I need one!!!

Reminds me of the trailer for A Christmas Carol in the movie Scrooged.

We had a thread about this already (how quickly we forget). I'll stick with my original guess of a less-than-lethal CN type spray. Maybe in a unique dispenser to compete with Kimber's Pepperblaster II. We'll know in a week.

 

Adios,

I heard others thinking a taser device

Heres the thread on this already http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33916-sw-shield-yourself-anyone-know-what-this-is-about/

Oh yeah... It's gotta be a single stack M&P! Oooooh, can't wait to see this baby!!!

Some of the guys on the M&P forum are hoping for a 10mm ....

I also am thinking its a Single Stack 9mm

If it is...... Time for another PP

LOL

What is the advantage of single stack v. double stack? #newguyquestion

SIngle stack is thinner

Thinner grip, so the gun can be made more concealable - look at all of the new subcompact guns out - Beretta Nano, Ruger LC9, etc.

You need not look at new guns to find an awesome single stack

external safety - booooo

looks big compared to the nano, pf9, pm9.

From the macho music theme of the video, I'm guessing S&W wants to invade Poland

Yeah it does look rather large. Too big to be a pocket gun IMO.

The external safety may just be an option, guess we'll have to wait and see.

They are probably going to admit there are accuracy problems with the M&P line and they have put Randy from Apex Tactical in charge of working with Barsto to manufacture an accurate barrel for the M&P. And no I am not joking. If you do a search you will see many cases of poor accuracy with the M&P'S. I know this because I had one and it would not hit paper at 25 yards even with 6 other people shooting it.

meh, not interested. waiting on xds in 9 or 40

No accuracy problems with my 9L. Rings 8" steel at 25 yards easily.

...Reloaderguy's message...

 

What's that got to do with this new subcompact 9mm?

Yea, my mp45c has no issues in the accuracy department.

external safety - booooo

Just so they can sell guns in Massachusetts and California. YUCK

Most of the M&P's are available with a thumb safety. Hopefully it will be optional for the Shield as well.

External safety..FTL

Guess mine is ok

 

 

I was excited for this, hopefully the externally safety is an option.

XD has the XDs

M&P now has the Shield

Glock? hello?

Yea I doubt it.

 

Wouldn't hit paper at 25yds? 6 other people shooting it? Suuuurre.

 

I have no accuracy problems with any of my M&Ps. And I know plenty of people that feel the same way.
